I know Jamie's sick of talking about it but really, I'll never tire of hearing about it, so I greatly appreciate his willingness to answer the endless inquiries...
What’s sad is no one will ever be able to try the leap of faith again. They built an elevator where Jamie ollies. Which cements it as the most iconic trick that was never landed.
Just because he never rolled away doesn't mean he didn't "land it" in my mind. He landed on and broke the board which showed how big the impact is and make it that much more iconic.
When i was younger my favorite trick was the one foot nose manuel and i could do it for 20 feet. I just got back into skating after 18 years and i cant even ollie anymore. Jamie Thomas has always been m,y favorite skater. One of these days im gonna finally get the Bloody Nose deck annd keep skating Edit: im an idiot, i got a Creature complete board and have recently started skating again, but iom gonna buy the blkoody nose board because i never was able to bnack in the day. plus, Zero boards are my favorite, my first Zero board was the John 3;16 board
Having recently torn my Achilles, the mental gymnastics are real. I can not fathom three surgeries on the same body part, that close in proximity, just to potentially re-injure. Kudos.
All the best bro! I recently went through my second ACL tear. Knock on wood but I'm feeling good now and fully healed. Treat the rehab seriously and you will get through it!
The new doc about this topic is golden! My old homie Richard King also tried it but kicked it out and had compound fractures and torn ligaments. Watch it. He was and always will be an inspiration to me. Jamie too.
Like Rodney Mullen, Jamie Thomas was always in a league of his own and was such a well respected and influential skater of the 90s. Thanks for all of your years of raw and wild dedication to skateboarding, Jamie!
@@jordanbolm8517Genuinely curious, who are your others? You're off to a damn strong start, but that's realllll tough for me to fill those last two spots. Tony has to be there if only just for innovation and longevity. But then it's like I have 50 other dudes like Mark Gonzales, Jay Adams, Alan Gelfand, Chris Haslam... Just so so many mindblowingly influential skaters--hell, *artists* (Gou Miyagi is up there with Rodney as one of my favorite skaters of all time strictly because he is so eclectic and unique with the stuff he does on a board that it's truly artistic expression at it's highest level)
I wonder about the claim that it's the most famous trick that wasn't landed. It's definitely top 2 for me, but to me the most famous was always Ali Boulala and the 25 stair. Idk if that counts now that Jaws did it though. Idk what else would even be up there with those two though. Someone make a video of the top 10 tricks that were never landed for me lol.
One of the best advice to not kick out no matter what. I just wish I knew sooner. Now I'm waiting for my MRT results praying that I didn't completely fuck up my ankle.
Richard King came outta nowhere not even sponsored and tried that shit in his mid 30's. broke his leg or something. The sequence was in transworld back in the day
If you watched Jordan Maxham frontside flip El Toro attempts he kicks out quite a few times and gets pretty broken, Also Joslin tre flip el toro he kicked out a few times you could tell he was hurting
He still made it, the board broke that does not mean he didn’t do it, technically he landed correctly and would have rolled away but the board couldn’t stand the force.
@@simonreilly213 No, he landed it. The board just failed. Generally snapping a deck still counts as a make because its not you that fucked up, it was your equipment.
Sometimes landing on the board on a big gap or drop isn't the right move though. I went back and skated this drop that I used to skate when I was 16. Went back 20 years later in my 30's. My friend missed filming the ollie, so i had to try it again. In the air I felt like I was leaning way too far back but I didn't want to bail. The board disintegrated and I did the splits. Tore my hamstring was not fun lol
Went to UCSB in 93, those steps at the Thunderdome are maybe 10+ ft as each is not very high. If you watch Frankie skate, 90% of his landing have a sketch wobble, on most tricks other than mute grabs (likely my most comfortable huck too), but this is too big. Jaws or Sheckler
@@JointFive yeah but his PD part was mostly hands free. I personally think his technique devolved from what I witnessed on video from winter 88 up to spring 93 before his major blowout
@@rebusd I've watched his parts, not seen the big gap here I person, but what he did to blow his knee is knowable, because that is about 7-8 ft high landing over the rail. Frankie started it, but others doubled it. Lyon still biggest.
Gaps were always my favorite thing to do. Never was good with parks/ramps. My slides/grinds were meh. Was okay on flat. I could win skate with double kickflips, twisted flips?(varial flip with body varial to opposite). But gaps, hell yeah. Distance usually though, not height. A straight drop would mess me up, but the same height with steps I could do easy.
Jaime go up from the Leap and was like Nope. Not doing that again. As far as I'm concerned he landed that. I have had 3 acl reconstructions too. That's crazy. My last surgery ended my skating. Good time though. We all said the same thing. He needed more speed. That's funny..
Why be tired of it Jamie?! Its part of your legacy, and skateboarding lore. I remember when part came out we always thought u just couldnt do it cause boards or trucks kept breaking. Bet you woulda rolled away in maybe 3 more tries
As bad ass as Chief is, I’m still blown away by his fellow Alabama to Cali transplant, Sean Young. I wonder if Sean young really understands how sick his hill bomb in SF, at night… IN RAIN soaked streets
Like what I think about with the the line 25 you know a person could train run and jump that like a parkour dude could do that but you're not laying on a rolling platform and therefore your energy is going to be planted right straight through your entire skeletal structure you know
@@MotoSly Because god forbid I want to watch it again after listening to them talk about it. Lemme guess, you've never rewatched anything in your life before right?
Dudes a maniac. He was always my favourite skater, when I was younger. I think a lot of it had to do with us both having a shaved head though, ha ha. Then I remember seeing footage of him with long hair, and I was like "duuuude" you let the side down. hahaha. Did the shaved head come first, or later though? I'm not even sure.
Is there any footage of this? I really hope so because it would be an amazing discovery. It’s totally believable based on a few of his skateboard edits I’ve watched!
Can you please include the video clip that your talking about 😉 not just in this clip but most of them. For example that long haired dude doing the giant hill bomb...where's the vid?
I live in SD and visited that spot many times back when I skated. Last I heard PL high tore it down but to be honest, I don't think it's physically possible. It's just way too high of a drop for the board not to snap from impact.
Thomas could of definitely done it in his prime, but it’s to bad everytime he planned on going back he would suffer a bad injury. He definitely landed things as high as the leap of faith though. The worst part of the leap of faith is the rail that you gotta Ollie over and the angle of the rail your ollieing over to do it. Often times when somebody Ollie’s over a handrail they are hitting the rail at an angle so the the rail is actually lower than it is at the top “usually they clear a few stairs before they go over the rail so they only gotta really Ollie a couple of inches to clear it” but with the leap of faith they gotta Ollie over the highest point of the rail so they gotta Ollie at least 2 and a half to 3 feet just to clear the rail, and than you are going off an 18 foot drop lol. So you are over 20 feet in the air. It would be like turning the Lyon 25 into a 30 stair set and putting a rail side ways at the top and having to Ollie over the handrail in order to Ollie the stairs. Or go find a house to Ollie off and just for shits and giggles putting a bike rail at the edge of the house that you gotta Ollie over to Ollie off the house. Just imagine your truck getting hung up 😂.
It's 3 ft taller than Lyon 25 jaws is too scared and that's why Jamie is forever a better skater than jaws. Jaws is a literal one trick pony and he's kind of a moron. Dunno why he has so many fans lol I mean he did the 25. That's dope. But Jamie woulda landed leap of faith if his board didn't break.
I low key hate that Jamie has says its doable. Such a double edged sword, on one side I want to see it done on another I don't want to see anyone die on that thing.
True story -- when I was like 10 Jamie was my favorite skater (back in like 2000 around the time of tony hawks pro skater). Turned out he was married to my babysitters best friend
That TH-cam channels/skate shop stole the 15 things you don’t know about from skateboarder magazine lol. Only different was skateboarder’s was 10 things haha.
Nah bro. Jaws or Sheckler or Joslin would have by now if it was gonna happen dude. It's never going to happen. It doesn't need to. Jamie owns it and that's that. I shit a brick when I got my transworld in the mail n saw that ad💯 we were BUGGIN dude. Then THPS2 drops and boom leap of faith ar the beginning of School ll 😂
@@deebonash1495 Yeah, he purposefully did NOT kick out... If he would have done so, it meant he would have landed on his feet, instead of his board... I use to skate a lot of stairs and gaps back in my prime and I always told my friends (so I agree with what they talked about here), it's way less painful to actually go for it and land on your board.... even if as you're coming down you know you're not going to roll away, just land on the board versus kicking the board out midair and falling on your feet... that's how you roll ankles or get hurt more often, by landing directly on your feet instead of trying to stick it and land on the board. With an ollie, like Jamie said, there's really no excuse... If you can ollie a 5 stair, you can ollie a 12. It's the exact same motion as if you were olling off a curb. The difference being how you hold it together in the air, and how you land with your knees bent a bit. Also, speed is key. Hope that makes sense!

Crobs transitions are about as good as his transition in skating
Greatest most inspirational skater IMO
Some bails deserve to be covers. Maybe put a colored border around it or include an image of the fall in the corner.
Joslin and Jaws would be the first people I would pick that could handle that type of impact.
Sheckler when he was younger and smaller probably too.
Nah you guys im picking Dollin
@@bleachvisionTV 12 beer mininum
If Frankie Hill hadn’t broken his knees in 93 he would have done it too

still conts i think, jaws did a melon grab right? and with pads and everything
This was by far to me the most memorable trick in skateboarding ever.
The other thing is the school has since done some renovations that removed that gap so no one can ever try it again. The leap of faith that is.
Except the Lyon 25 has been landed.
I read that first sentence and immediately thought about Ali before I got to that part. It really is for me
This is one of the most great advice in skateboard history.

To give everyone an idea of how tall it is. The lyon is 14 feet 9 inches. The leap of faith is 18 feet 8 inches.
I'm curious how you know this though lol
The Lyon is 25 stairs, no?
Theres a youtube vid ive seen that fully has measured the biggest skate gaps
@@APAL880 yeah and each step is just a few inches tall lol.
They did another measurement for the Jenkem documentary on it. At least the point they were at it was 14 feet 3 inches.
Real talk tho - GREAT way to focus your board. Not sustainable, but really gets the point across. XD

No doubt The original reason why his knee started blowing was because of the first attempt
Cus that’s shits crazy and he did it
Done ✔️
Has any one else don't this... Jaws?
It's still doable if you can gap past the elevator shaft. Someone will attempt it again.
