As many of you are aware, Jim Thiebaud is a bit of a role model of mine, maybe some would say a little bit of a hero. From following his passions, and just doing everything in his power, he helped to build a bit of a modern day utopia of skater owned and operated companies. Back in 1992 him and TG started up Real Skateboards under the Deluxe Distribution banner (who at that point was just Spitfire and Thunder Trucks, if my memory serves..)
The first time I saw a Jim skate was back in 1989 on a VHS tape, from the folks over at Santa Cruz, and the kids at Strange Notes just tossed that clip up online today, so I thought I'd share it with you, so you can see why this dude has inspired me so over the past two decades.
