my childhood....god i wish i could go back to the exact moment i watched this for the first time and relive the feeling of getting so hyped up and going out to skate with my friends at the street spots before hitting the skatepark. the early 2000's were another time man.
Man you ain't lying! This brings back alot of memories a few not so good ones but a whole lot of great ones. To jamie thomas one of the greats forsure!
Glad you said this. I am a casual fan of skating, not able to do it so my understanding of tricks is limited. I like skaters who do cool shit that looks good. Jamie Thomas has been my favorite since I learned about him in 1999 with the video game. I always remembered this Benihanna spot for decades and never saw anyone else do it. Didn't know it was a controversial move either. It looks incredible and the height of that stairset is wild.
I can listen to Baba O'Reilly on the radio and see this entire part exactly how it is in my head. Videos like these I probably watched close to 500 times by now.
I never noticed the kids in the background at 0:26. Clearly, he's skating a fat handrail at a school in the late 90s, and all the school kids are sitting on the ledge, watching him, stoked as fuck when he lands it. So epic, such a moment in time. Makes me miss the 90s and my youth so much. Those were the days...
I just commented that when Daxter Lussier would come visit Idaho Falls (our home town) that I would get to tag along because my older friend Sheldon was Dax's friend as well. One time Dax' was showing Sheldon some footage and what I saw were these raw clips of Jamie at The San Digieto 10 wearing that Bears jersey...then a year later I saw that footage in Misled Youth and it was only then in hindsight I realized what footage I was looking at!
Jamie Thomas was going BIG before going this big was necessary. One of the very few back in the day that hit handrails that big, a true pioneer of the sport.
I find myself watching these videos again from time to time. Started skating at 5 in 1997, this is what i grew up on, videos like this, The End, 411… Thank you to all who have skated and made my life better.
Jamie Thomas is a legend. Anyone else remember "the leap of faith". Watching skate videos on VHS in middle school w the homies after school was the best. Great times, simpler times, memories that will last forever. ❤
My favorite skater of all time 🤙🏻 love the fact that Tony Hawk introduced us to such a great group of skaters that have built upon the foundation of skateboarding
THE SINNERS PRAYER DOES NOT WORK. THE PRAYER THAT MANY PASTORS TELL YOU TO REPEAT IS A FALSE GOSPEL AND WILL NOT SAVE YOU. READ THE VERSES BELOW ⬇️ But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”-that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” Romans 10:8-13 NASB1995 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:31 NASB Believers Are Dead to Sin, Alive to God 1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7for he who has died is freed from sin. Romans 6:1-7 NASB1995 Now what’s stopping you from reading the Bible and learning who God is???????
Damn Jamie Thomas' video part brings back memories. I would watch his and Adrian Lopez part before skating. I believe this video still holds up to this day.
+rusty shax, John B was referring to the dark environment in which Jamie landed the trick. I thought the exact same thing when I saw the darkness contrasted with the car headlights. Amazing, scary, beautiful haha.
Heard Baba O'Riley ten minutes ago and had to watch Jamie's part again. Music triggers your memories like nothing else man. Still love that part after all this year's. Especially that brutal Benihana.
1999 lolololol. This part is still Absolute insanity in 2023. Every trick could be any skater’s ender from that era. The speed and power is unbelievable. What a legendary part for real. Music was so perfect.
Jamie Thomas really knew how to put together a good video part. Specially when you look at Welcome To Hell,Misled Youth,Dying To Live and even his later stuff like Ride The Sky etc. Who else had more epic parts ? I can't remember who else had that many long video parts with epic tricks and such strong songs. The guy killed it for a very long time.
Rodney Mullen second hand smoke 1994 is one of the best parts with good music lol all those tricks are what kids are thinking they invented on instagram nowadays
Jamie’s Chomp On This part was magical. I remember watching and hearing Jamie skate to a Master P song was wild back in the day but the part was incredible. It sits at my number 2 favorite Jamie Thomas part. Misled Youth, Chomp on This, Dying to Live, then Ride the Sky.
Jamie has ALWAYS had the best song selection in his video parts. Go all the way back to his first pro part in Invisible where he skated to Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black."
God damn this isn't just Art and talent but HISTORY MAN!! I remember being in a local board shop in Newport Oregon in 2002 got my first whole brand new deck set up w/ Bones super swiss 6 bearing and the cleanest truck set up cause all my first decks were hand me downed and mixed matched lol. Pair of brand new Etnies bro.. I felt like I was on cloud 9 homie 😍 just as I played dude gave me a shop tee, bunch of stickers, a bar of Mr. Zoggs Sex wax but also a mixed tape of skate clips... Jamie Fuckin Thomas gliding like a golden eagle. . That weekend changed my life forever 😎 Edit: I'm not crying you are 😢
remembering why Jamie Thomas was and will always be my favorite skater. My God Dude..watching these old clips brings back feelings and memories when all I cared about was “landing it”...those were the days...skateboarding is the most organic feeling on earth 🤘☠️☠️🤘
I was 14 when I first saw this video on VHS back in the 90s. It brings a tear to my eye I saw Jamie Thomas skateboard in Rincon middle school in Escondido back in the day.
This was my first skate video on vhs! I still watch it today. I’m so grateful I started skating around this time. There’s a lot more appreciation back then. Running home from school just watch this and go skate outside. I really miss that. Thank you zero...another 20yrs!😊🙏
No kidding! My parents didn't pay for any of my skate gear, so the 2 or 3 skate videos I accumulated from saving money, I cherished, and I had to make my boards LAST. Now that I'm an adult making money, I can afford to get bearings, wheels, decks etc, yell at a kid to do a kickflip and help them out.
Everytime I'm out delivering tire's in Mira Mar...I'm looking for this spot...it looks just like all of the same industrial suite's that populate the area. I been in San Diego for 15 years now and I still look for that spot. It looks like the Med Choice Gap but a little bigger....I also look for Med Choice everytime I'm in that area on delivery!
reminds me of my youth in high school. skate to live and live to skate. i cry because i cannot go back to those times when nothing mattered but being home before dark. Now, times. are...........not the same.
Man, Jamie was fucking brruuutal in his days. So motivated and just drive to fucking get the job done. Mad respect for Jamie for all he's done and continues to do for skating. Zero is still an awesome brand, hats off to The Chief!
My first 2 skate decks were “hand me downs” and the 3rd one, bought by me, was the Jamie Thomas signature edition ( circa 1999 ). It had the photo of him smith grinding the 14 set.
I remember me n the crew would watch this on VHS at the skate shop and it would get us hyped AF to skate n then I bought the tape n watched it constantly, one of my favorite s of all time
Definitely my favorite skater growing up. Those backlips are still mindboggling. Massive ollies, crookeds, and tailslides going 30 miles per hour. Thank you, Jamie, you inspired me to skate and just go for it, lol.
the whole part is a master piece but this segment (2:39-3:06) everything fit so perfect! Crazy that It's been 17 years since I first watched it and I can't get that segment out of my head...Thanks chief🙏
I grew up in Idaho Falls and when Daxter Lussier would come back to town to visit ( there he is @5:00 chillin' on Jorge Cervantes's car) I would get to tag along as a 13 year old. Dax and my buddy Sheldon were watching some of Dax's footage he had and I took a sneak peek. It was Jamie wearing a Chicago Bears jersey skating The San Digueto 10 stair...then some time later when Misled Youth came out I saw those clips. Only in hindsight I realized that I had seen the actual raw footage of this video before it blew the worlds top off🔥
Watching this even all these years later, it still gives me chills, this man is an absolute legend, this is one of my favorite parts of all time, the level of skating at this time was not this high, you didn’t have many other skating rails like this at this time, with the exception of Muska, but Jamie was really going in on some legendary spots, I remember his backflip on Hollywood 16, that blew me away when I see it, this man was clearly on a mission, he changed skating for the better in my opinion, he defied what people thought was possible back in those times, to have a whole part full of big ass handrails in this time was not really happening, big ups to a Jamie for putting his blood sweat and tears into every video and making me a lifelong fan,he will always be the CHIEF
I remember watching this in a skate shop getting my first board put together. I was so blown away by Jaimie Thomas’s part, I made sure to come back and get the tape next time I had cash in my hand.. was just a kid then and all these years later it still hypes me up to go skate. I’ll be showing my kids this one day
I was there when he did the 180 nose grind at San Dieguito. We saw Jamie Thomas skating this gap in Carlsbad and he asked if we wanted to go skate this rail. So stoked back in the day being a grom and having Thomas ask us to go to a spot with him.
I love it in Zero videos when someone takes a heavy slam on a rail, then at the end you see them rolling up to the same rail in slow motion. It's like revenge.
My favorite movie of all my childhood. Watching this with my beautiful Daughters hopefully they see the beauty of skating and they get to try it.... Hopefully they would want to continue watching to become part of it with me and all you that loved and love skating......
I skated in the late 80s through the 90s. I'm in my 40sand have had 1 knee replacement along with several surgeries. Alot of damage was caused trying to emulate JT and the leap of faith as well as anything we saw in the misled youth/welcome to hell videos.
I didn't really care for Jamie Thomas when he appeared in the documentary on Chris Cole, (Motivation 2) so i've only just got around to watching this part but omfg - this is unreal. This seriously holds up, i've watched it everyday for a week now, and i've not done that with a video part before. Big respect Jamie Thomas! I'm going to re-evaluate my opinion of you, and watch your 9 club episode. Big up.
my childhood....god i wish i could go back to the exact moment i watched this for the first time and relive the feeling of getting so hyped up and going out to skate with my friends at the street spots before hitting the skatepark. the early 2000's were another time man.
Another time no doubt , this was revolutionary at the moment
No comperacing❤️
Thank God for memories and you still have them. Enjoy the feeling.
Just be glad that you lived it. That Smith grind was always money for me!
Man you ain't lying! This brings back alot of memories a few not so good ones but a whole lot of great ones. To jamie thomas one of the greats forsure!
that benihanna down the 12 stair will forever be my favorite trick from Jamie
That trick gets so much hate, it's ridiculous. Still one of the most stylish tricks out there
Glad you said this. I am a casual fan of skating, not able to do it so my understanding of tricks is limited. I like skaters who do cool shit that looks good. Jamie Thomas has been my favorite since I learned about him in 1999 with the video game. I always remembered this Benihanna spot for decades and never saw anyone else do it.

I used to watch this part to get hyped up and skate with my homies.
Like those days i go to skate after see this video part of the godfather of the streets
Stfu spears
John jacob Jingle hiemer schmidt no face ass 😘
Same , dude... same!
I still do
Jamie Thomas was going BIG before going this big was necessary. One of the very few back in the day that hit handrails that big, a true pioneer of the sport.
It wasn't a sport back then.
Leap of faith bro
I find myself watching these videos again from time to time. Started skating at 5 in 1997, this is what i grew up on, videos like this, The End, 411…
Thank you to all who have skated and made my life better.
Modus Operandi- Transworld
Marc Johnson. 😊
Jamie Thomas is a legend. Anyone else remember "the leap of faith". Watching skate videos on VHS in middle school w the homies after school was the best. Great times, simpler times, memories that will last forever. ❤
it sucks how skateboarding now doesn't have the same feeling as it did ten years ago
i know man. for me 1998 to 2001 really feels nostalgic.
95-98 for me. Who were the best street skaters from that time? Muska, Thomas and Koston?
Reynolds too
Caleb Heney true. But thats also what makes it beautiful too.
Daewon Song was always my top skater. It seemed like no one really gave him the credit compared to now
My favorite skater of all time 🤙🏻 love the fact that Tony Hawk introduced us to such a great group of skaters that have built upon the foundation of skateboarding
favorite is what i was gonna say too - thx mate

Yea he’s my go-to in every game.
Damn Jamie Thomas' video part brings back memories. I would watch his and Adrian Lopez part before skating. I believe this video still holds up to this day.
Pez ripped that part to shreds.
The music too.
Who else used to fan-out over that ZERO hoodie and want it super bad after this video came out? I still love it to this day.
Had to waint untill I was a grown up to afford one lol
I had the eagle zero sweater lol 😂
back lip in the dark was insane
+rusty shax, John B was referring to the dark environment in which Jamie landed the trick. I thought the exact same thing when I saw the darkness contrasted with the car headlights. Amazing, scary, beautiful haha.
+rusty shax Nobody has kickflip backtailed hollywood 16... Nyjah kickflip back noseblunted and back lipped it tho
That 360 flip at the 2 minute mark was one of the greatest of them all growing up. Talk about POW!
Dat EMB Gap!! In San Francisco is Epic
absolute all time classic, owned the vhs :)
Heard Baba O'Riley ten minutes ago and had to watch Jamie's part again. Music triggers your memories like nothing else man. Still love that part after all this year's. Especially that brutal Benihana.
first time watching this was a life changing moment in my teens.. historic and completely awesome, go jamie!
Word
This is easily my favorite part of all time. Its like... the citizen kane of skateboarding. timeless AF
The only part that could take on this song. There's some songs out there that you just can't step too unless you have a mega-part to drop.
Never thought id hear these 2 songs in a skate video. Very cool. Thank you Jamie Thomas!
1999 lolololol. This part is still
Absolute insanity in 2023. Every trick could be any skater’s ender from that era. The speed and power is unbelievable. What a legendary part for real. Music was so perfect.
Two of the greatest songs in a skate video for sure.The Who and The Doors. Two of my all time favorites.
God Jamie was on such a different level than everyone else
Jamie Thomas really knew how to put together a good video part. Specially when you look at Welcome To Hell,Misled Youth,Dying To Live and even his later stuff like Ride The Sky etc. Who else had more epic parts ? I can't remember who else had that many long video parts with epic tricks and such strong songs. The guy killed it for a very long time.
That's why people love the Chief. His skate eye is exceptional.
Rodney Mullen second hand smoke 1994 is one of the best parts with good music lol all those tricks are what kids are thinking they invented on instagram nowadays
Jamie’s Chomp On This part was magical. I remember watching and hearing Jamie skate to a Master P song was wild back in the day but the part was incredible. It sits at my number 2 favorite Jamie Thomas part. Misled Youth, Chomp on This, Dying to Live, then Ride the Sky.

Jamie Fuckin Thomas gliding like a golden eagle. . That weekend changed my life forever 😎
Edit: I'm not crying you are 😢
20 years later that smith at 2:23 still my favorite of all time
He made it look easy.
What an excellent timeless collection of inspiration slammers. Thank you Jamie
best part ever!!!!!!!!!
not sure how many times i saw this and headed out. one of those classic parts IMO
I watched this video so many times as a kid. Jamie is a beast
THE WHO, THE DOORS AND JAMIE THOMAS HOW FUCKING COOL I LOOOVE IT
Right!? What a mix!
Jamie was (and still is) a huge influence for me. First time i shaved my hair was because of him haha
I had Mercury trucks and rocked Adio's because of him. Both were terrible.
Same here, still got me rocking green cargos and black shoes lol.
remembering why Jamie Thomas was and will always be my favorite skater. My God Dude..watching these old clips brings back feelings and memories when all I cared about was “landing it”...those were the days...skateboarding is the most organic feeling on earth 🤘☠️☠️🤘
How on Earth does this have any thumbs downs? Granted, it's only three. But still, that's three too many.
The sound of landing is the most beautifull song
I was 14 when I first saw this video on VHS back in the 90s. It brings a tear to my eye I saw Jamie Thomas skateboard in Rincon middle school in Escondido back in the day.
This was my first skate video on vhs! I still watch it today. I’m so grateful I started skating around this time. There’s a lot more appreciation back then. Running home from school just watch this and go skate outside. I really miss that. Thank you zero...another 20yrs!😊🙏
Rewind over and over over again. "How the hell did he nose manual off that giant drop!!?"
No kidding! My parents didn't pay for any of my skate gear, so the 2 or 3 skate videos I accumulated from saving money, I cherished, and I had to make my boards LAST. Now that I'm an adult making money, I can afford to get bearings, wheels, decks etc, yell at a kid to do a kickflip and help them out.
I rode pro BMX in the 90s but watched Jamie Thomas constantly for motivation. The barefoot gap - classic!!😎🤘
I just recently found my OG tape of this. So happy
Excellent song selection.
No idea why but that landing and ride away at 3:02 has always stuck in my mind. Legendary
I knew exactly which trick you were talking about before even looking.
Everytime I'm out delivering tire's in Mira Mar...I'm looking for this spot...it looks just like all of the same industrial suite's that populate the area.
I been in San Diego for 15 years now and I still look for that spot.
It looks like the Med Choice Gap but a little bigger....I also look for Med Choice everytime I'm in that area on delivery!
This legend influenced me to start skating from 1995 -2007 ❤
reminds me of my youth in high school. skate to live and live to skate. i cry because i cannot go back to those times when nothing mattered but being home before dark. Now, times. are...........not the same.
Man, Jamie was fucking brruuutal in his days. So motivated and just drive to fucking get the job done. Mad respect for Jamie for all he's done and continues to do for skating. Zero is still an awesome brand, hats off to The Chief!
My first 2 skate decks were “hand me downs” and the 3rd one, bought by me, was the Jamie Thomas signature edition ( circa 1999 ). It had the photo of him smith grinding the 14 set.
I fell in love with a Jami, and named our first boy Thomas and I pretty much blame this guy being my hero as a kid! ZERO OR DIE!!
This entire film changed my life. My music taste. My skating style . Jamie is goat in my eyes
As a young skater I am thankful all of this is in TH-cam so I can watch all the classic skate videos
I remember me n the crew would watch this on VHS at the skate shop and it would get us hyped AF to skate n then I bought the tape n watched it constantly, one of my favorite s of all time
Definitely my favorite skater growing up. Those backlips are still mindboggling. Massive ollies, crookeds, and tailslides going 30 miles per hour. Thank you, Jamie, you inspired me to skate and just go for it, lol.
The Smith and Feeble grind master! This has to go down as one of the best parts of any skate vid ever.
1:35 into the sunset. Probably most beautiful skateboarding clip filmed.
It's amazing
Thrill of it All and Misled Youth were my first skate videos and they influenced me greatly as a kid. Always been a Zero fan, always will be.
The song plus the skating is a vibe
This part is an absolute classic.🔥🔥🔥
Thank You Jamie and all the Zero guys from throughput the years. Saved my life, serious
Fucking god the way he caught that kickflip so high off the long beach cherry park ledge still amazes me almost 20 yrs later
This quality of footage has such a nastolgic feeling
A truly timeless video part. This hasn’t aged a day since it’s release. Love the nollie out of the 50-50 on the handrail just to add the extra steeze.
I’ve haven’t seen this since like I was 13 and noticed the same thing. Never saw it before but I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Jaime Thomas GOAT!!!!! I STILL WATCH THE ZERO ANTHOLOGY BEFORE I GO SKATE FAV SKATEBOARD CO EVER!!
The guy at 5:48 in the bicycle as like wow i am witnessing greatness ....
I could be wrong, but right around this time I remember seeing a photo of Jamie skitching a ride from this guy.
Best skate video part ever. Can’t believe is 20years since it came out.
That beni down the stairs will always be one of my favorite tricks ever done down a set of stairs.
the whole part is a master piece but this segment (2:39-3:06) everything fit so perfect! Crazy that It's been 17 years since I first watched it and I can't get that segment out of my head...Thanks chief🙏
I grew up in Idaho Falls and when Daxter Lussier would come back to town to visit ( there he is @5:00 chillin' on Jorge Cervantes's car) I would get to tag along as a 13 year old.
Dax and my buddy Sheldon were watching some of Dax's footage he had and I took a sneak peek.
It was Jamie wearing a Chicago Bears jersey skating The San Digueto 10 stair...then some time later when Misled Youth came out I saw those clips.
Only in hindsight I realized that I had seen the actual raw footage of this video before it blew the worlds top off🔥
Theres tons of skateboards videos and skateboarders nowdays but i always find myself watching jamies videos. Dude`s a beast
if it wasn't for using jamie in every tony hawk game, I would've never been misled. Thank you for being an underdog!
The nostalgia is real, homies and I used to watch Mislead Youth every day before we went out shredding. Oh lord do I miss my mislead youth lol
This and fufill the dream were the best skate videos of all time.
Watching this even all these years later, it still gives me chills, this man is an absolute legend, this is one of my favorite parts of all time, the level of skating at this time was not this high, you didn’t have many other skating rails like this at this time, with the exception of Muska, but Jamie was really going in on some legendary spots, I remember his backflip on Hollywood 16, that blew me away when I see it, this man was clearly on a mission, he changed skating for the better in my opinion, he defied what people thought was possible back in those times, to have a whole part full of big ass handrails in this time was not really happening, big ups to a Jamie for putting his blood sweat and tears into every video and making me a lifelong fan,he will always be the CHIEF
I remember watching this in a skate shop getting my first board put together. I was so blown away by Jaimie Thomas’s part, I made sure to come back and get the tape next time I had cash in my hand.. was just a kid then and all these years later it still hypes me up to go skate. I’ll be showing my kids this one day
such an inspiring part, remember watching this first time on vhs - still magical
mannn we're gettin old
Definitely my favourite skate video of all time,Misled Youth.
I remember all the graphics being ridden in this video 💙 my blind board was something really special to me when I was a kid
First skate VHS I ever bought as a kid 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Legendary video part. 🔨
I was there when he did the 180 nose grind at San Dieguito. We saw Jamie Thomas skating this gap in Carlsbad and he asked if we wanted to go skate this rail. So stoked back in the day being a grom and having Thomas ask us to go to a spot with him.
absolutely incredible. the man.
Dad used to love watching these vids with me because he approved so much of the music.
Pinnacle, this dude gave me a toy machine sticker and signed my dc's in like 1998 at Kmart in clearwater Florida lol Legend
Over 20 years later and still feel like a kid at Christmas seeing this video part.
Best skate part of all time! Next to Welcome to Hell!
True skateboarding is timeless
I watched this section so many time as a kid my VHS copy got fried, Jaime Thomas you are my hero
Brother and I are going doing a skate spot tour this coming weekend. Hitting lots of the LA spots and San Diego county. Can’t wait!
My personal goat. Hail to The Chief.
I love it in Zero videos when someone takes a heavy slam on a rail, then at the end you see them rolling up to the same rail in slow motion. It's like revenge.
That's like most skate videos, at least from that era. I can't speak on videos from like 2005 to now because I'm an old curmudgeon.
best part of all time
Best most iconic part ever
Definitely my favorite part of all time
Honestly so hyped for my zero board to come in
Una de mis primeras películas de patineta y todavía en el 2018 mi favorita 🙌🏼 Thanks Zero Skateboards
My favorite movie of all my childhood. Watching this with my beautiful Daughters hopefully they see the beauty of skating and they get to try it.... Hopefully they would want to continue watching to become part of it with me and all you that loved and love skating......
I skated in the late 80s through the 90s. I'm in my 40sand have had 1 knee replacement along with several surgeries. Alot of damage was caused trying to emulate JT and the leap of faith as well as anything we saw in the misled youth/welcome to hell videos.
This guy has been my fav skater since I was a kid.
One of the dopest street skaters to ever live!!!
Still my favorite part ever. Iconic. I'm glad I was a young skater then.
I didn't really care for Jamie Thomas when he appeared in the documentary on Chris Cole, (Motivation 2) so i've only just got around to watching this part but omfg - this is unreal. This seriously holds up, i've watched it everyday for a week now, and i've not done that with a video part before. Big respect Jamie Thomas! I'm going to re-evaluate my opinion of you, and watch your 9 club episode. Big up.
