- When this part dropped in 1996, Jamie wasn't considered just a ripper-he was a skate demon. Emmanuel Guzman talks about how much this video influenced him.

When the song kicks in and Jamie backside 180's the gap, and the dude says "Oh shit!" The hairs on the back of my neck would stand up. If you were skating back when this video came out, you couldn't watch this part and not want to immediately go skate after watching it.... and skate bigger than you've ever skated before.
Exactly! He's always been my favorite skater. Did you see his "Damn it all" part? It was pretty sick.
100% every part was a banger from Satva to Elissa
Truth! Made you want to throw yourself down the biggest gaps you could find. Sure made a big difference from all the pressure flips that came before it.
Exatcly 💯
This video defined my teenage years.
me too bro. i still have the vhs
Mine too man... JT is a legend.
Mine too.. I saw it so many times the vhs finally broke
Same here i was 15 when this came out, still have it to this day.. jamie thomas's part got me so hyped to skate everyday
Went to the Iron Maiden concert last night in Nashville, and couldn't help but think of this whole part as they played Hallowed be thy Name! Legendary!
This isn't the Trooper, dude. It is Hallowed be thy Name.
@@michaelr.4878 You're right haha my bad
awesome music choice... up the Irons!
That song choice deeply affected me. The best part is, when I became an ESL/TEFL teacher, I played this for my advanced students. The other thing this JT TM WTH part did was continue with helping my karaoke. I'm no actual singer or musician, but I do enjoy the challenge of singing different songs, hip hop, classic rock, metal, Maiden included!
That was a great slap of nostalgia! Now, off to enjoy a well-overdue Jamie Thomas video binge.
still hard to believe Jamie Thomas and Chad muska were on toy machine.
I wish one day we could see the Muska part, it was apparently epic and the end part instead of Jamie's.
It was in the first Shortys video I believe.
isnt muskas part included on the welcome to hell dvd?
Yes it is!
@@Osiris3657 his part is out on yt. It half of the shortys videos and they re filmed some stuff cause ed and Jamie wouldnt sell him some of the footage back.
Awesome. hallowed be thy name is a great song for this video
dude i love how he tweaks everything, like the ollie over the gap in the line with the lipslide on a car and the tre flip yo manual, who twekas a tre into manual? damn gnarly.
I can still name every song in this video. Evey single day this played in my house.
I think this video came out around 1997 or 98! Freaking legend
4:04. Not a bigspin, but a 180 late shuv.
I'm 34 years old. I watched this slow mo a million times thank you for this memory. Wish I had that tape still. What video does he kickflip a motorcycle.
Chomp on this he kick flips a bike?
haha he kickflips a motorcycle in this video. around the 4:25 mark
I guess he does 2 …?
Welcome to Hell and Misled Youth were my top Skate videos back in the day.
What an iconic part.
Greatest song and part for skateboarding ever
I remember watching this every day before hitting the streets in downtown Dallas. I was scared that I’d wear out that vhs and not find another copy.
Thank you TH-cam.
Grew up watching this part and it’s still so sick. The back lip at 3:38 is so sick looking with the music edited to it and it still pumps me up.
This got me so amped on skating again. I remember watching this for the first time when it came out all I wanted to do was smash rails.
aaah these were my days, I remember buying the VHS at my local skate shop.
Best video part of that year and many more🙏🏻
miss the old zero team
I remember the old Sal 23s. Had a pair. Best skate shoes ever.
Scott R the 1st koston’s were fire 🔥 too!
Yep sal 23s and the koston ones best fucken shoes ever. I dont know wtf the deal is these days lol. I had homies who loved the osiris d3s damn moon boots. I was like naw ill keep my sals
The movie got me into misfits, Iron Maiden, and so so much more!!!!!
I miss this type of metal and punk in skate videos
Damn I was in kindergarden when Thomas dropped this epic part, and it still unbelievable and motivates me
Definitely in my opinion best skate video ever next to misled youth. I agree wit my man watched this vhs like atleast 4 times a week
Those sal babier 23 shoes were the best and the half cab of course :)
one of the best videos - mid 90s
Dude, he was skating literally everywhere, even at a spot next to my house.
Legendary footage!
This is from my all-time favorite skate vid. I grew up on this shit.
Openening line was killer :)
Can't go wrong with Maiden and back lips. Thomas was my first favorite skater.
I'm deleting Instagram and just watching this part every day
This video still kills it in 2023
These classics are the fucking best!
My mate had this on vid when it came out but his tape played slightly slower than it should. Made it even more epic
Shoutout to the guy pissing in the foreground at 1:54
watched it everyday.
I wore this tape out. "BARLEY!" still rings in my head whenever I see something alley oop. Haha
That roof-to-roof gap late shuv was fucking gnarly even for todays standards.
dood. how many stairs is the ender 50? like 20? F'in gnarly for 1990's
those sal 23s were probably the best shoes of all time imo
For me this part put to bed the era of triple kick flips and manuals. There was no other pro doing rails and sets like this at the time. To kick flip a motorcycle …
It changed the way we all skated
Wow i remember watching this as a kid I saw this for the first time brings back so many memories. The whole video was amazing to watch again but the part where Jamie is 50/50 one footed on the long rail literally flashed me back in time and wished I could go back in time 90’s and early 2000’s and enjoy life on a skateboard. Crazy he was the master of fundamentals! 🔥
This was the first video on my VHS full of like 8 skate videos. My mom used to make me skate video mixes on VHS. Watched this one the most by far. This and FUlfill the dream i could tell you every trick from every skater.
Thomas the best Ambassador of skateboarding
Best part ever and on in the 90's
such an amazing part
awesum
holy shit I watched this on the religiously with my older brother back in the day!
Same history with me and my brother dude! cheers from Brazil!
+João Henrique Abbud Geraldo Hell yeah! Cheers to you also! I work for a Brazilian Company! Much love for Brazilans
+crb129_ Nice brow! I start in skateboard because welcome to hell, and stop for 6 years and come back in the past for months im almost 30 and felt so happy to be able to skate again! Nice to meet you brow and cheers for your job and skate lol!
man I forgot how good this guy was!
That was great, love part and love Maiden
this is just now being recommended to me
I'd bet this part (and the rest of the vid) would have the world record of most number of destroyed vhs tapes and players due to repeated rewinds... ever... if there was a way to tell.
It's so neat these days... to just press the left cursor button on the keyboard to rewind, and changing playback speed, without fear of breaking something... I do miss the frame forward button on pause though.
Tre to manual was awesome. It is all pretty sick skating.
Sick
nice 411VM VHS below the TV!
Freaking Iroc and Jamie Thomas symbolizes my childooh and adolescence in a capsule.
And after 12 years of this upload I'm here seeing this shit cuz I'mma try to do a challenge on Session Skate.
damn i was like 3 when this came out
gnarly part + gnarly music = GNARLY AS FUCK!
“23” Etnies……had many pairs. Fuck, im old!!
Dope
that part with e-mans intro and commentary is just priceless!!
The man had balls the size of dinner plates
Anybody ever notice there was someone in the car in the later part of the video who sticks his head out after he ollies it?
it shows this is a first try line, guy has no chance to react it's Jamie Thomas in B A L D mode you would not mess with this
Haha Jamie Thomas in B A L D mode!
I remember reading in an interview with Jamie Thomas that it was a pizza delivery guys car and he was delivering pizza to them and asked if Jamie Thomas could do something on his car.
Master of master.....
2 years after I was born...
Skating to Maiden, awesome
Shit. Things were so much better back then.
4:09 - 4:15 Muska impression
Jamies a beast!!
I was 14 when this came i out and it made me wanna grind the biggest rails ever. The pizza guys car, no shoes, etc theist goes on jamie DESTROYED THIS PART
@surferaroulet its in the description emmanuel guzman
FUCK YES
second angle for the 5050 at the end sucks
it doesn't show how huge it is
3:53 RIP.
love jaime
kareem campbell: 20 shot sequence should be a classic
"Jamie thomas" is also a sick song by graham coxon.
Sal Barbier's? Yep. Had em. In white. Crazy flashback.
Right had those same sal's in black
So fucking badass
@SkateElG Ya Definitely
u guys know chad muska was supposed to have the ender in this video?
4:33 is fucking gnarly.
epic epic epic!
Nice pants he´s wearing in that first clip! Where can I get a pair like that??
The military green pair :) is a cargo pant...just look for a cargo pant in military green...Carhartt make them.
Good eye! I would also like to wear those!
my name is also jamie tho i wish i could skate like him :(
I feel like in a sense JT ruined skating forever for all the groms behind him. I remember when they filmed WTH, Toy Machine came to our park to get footage, minus JT, and we took them to skate a handrail at the school across the street. I think I avoided watching JT’s part because it was like the first time, for me as a kid, that I thought maybe skating wasn’t tangible anymore. It was like a dream killer. Going from learning all the flip tricks to skating in a park, to being forced to think about being destroyed, literally, on, gnarly rails and giant gaps, was huge to swallow for an underdeveloped pre-teen kid with weak legs; the world just seemed bigger as a kid, so too the gaps and rails!! But it was like F, I have to give this shit a go to keep up at all, or the dream is over. But prior to JT normalizing this approach, skating still appeared tangible. JT definitely opened the door of skating to The world of evil Knievel. JT made skating like that Simpson’s episode where Bart is going to jump the Springfield gorge. 🙄🙄
That’s my pick🏆🏆🏆😎
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ANAZU NAMUN AMAZING
this is how many of those tricks i can do even at this day and age.. ZERO
Jamie Thomas is a great role model now but seeing him doing tricks on cars with a shaved head definitely led me down the wrong path lmao
definitely master of rails
@000eMan000 Yea
Dopest skater ever
was 3:44 a late front pop?
Yup Ollie late front shove it
i've met him
IRON MADIEN!!!! FUCK YES
Dothan boy!!!!!!!!
