BACK TO CONTENTS


Off in a magical kingdom known to the locals as Mecca, but to the rest as Mira Mesa, reside two savages that have been known to destroy anything that comes across their path on a skateboard. You may be thinking I'm talking about some serial killers, but I'm not. I am talking about Jimmy Cao and Jamie Palmore. These guys are the nicest young men you could meet, but they hold a secret only few have discovered: these kids are fucking amazing on a skateboard. Every time I watch them skate, I'm overcome with awe and frustration that I wasn't born with the same natural skateboarding talent they have. The thing that separates them from the fucking plethora of ams out there is that these boys have steez for days.

Let's be honest, either you got good steez or you don't. You can't just fix your steez .You can try but you'll be trying 'till you rot. From tranny, to tech, rails, whatever, Jimmy and Jamie make it all look good. They make any veteran want to grab a bat and wack these two fucks in the knees for being so good. So here goes. Welcome to Jimmy Cao's and Jamie Palmore's interview. You will definitely be seeing a lot of these guys unless someone goes and takes out their knees.
