Sk8 Session Volume 2 – Jet / Liquid / Abec 11

1

Here’s installment 2 of Sk8 Sessions. How cool is it to have an episode with skate legend Jim Gray? Just ask Avery Crowl. Jim is one of the best representatives of skateboarding in the industry. Now in his fifties, he has skated amazingly well trough every era of this sport and he has kept it REAL. He isn’t afraid to stand up and call bull shit on those that try to control and manipulate.

“If you’re having a great time and you DO a trick you’re ruling at skateboarding, if you’re having a great time and you DON’T do a trick you’re ruling at skateboarding. You’re always going to have people hating on shit, you’re just going to have to skate for yourself.”

BTW, Jim has a guest model with Jet called the Hellfire Reverb 9.3 and we’ve been making some sick GRA prototype wheels that you’ll love when they come out.

We met Avery Crowl as a grom in Laguna Beach. He was part of a crew called LBAG, Laguna Beach Alpha Groms, who were out enjoying a resurgence of downhill. LBAG included Wyatt Gibbs, Roger Jones, Chance Gaul, Hunter Schwirtz and friends, who basically pledged to rule the hills that over look the sea. Like Jim, Avery also doesn’t let others dictate the sport he loves.

“You don’t need to have people telling you what to do, you just do it.”

Avery has been our go to guy for events like Ditch Slap and All Around Challenge. He skates downhill, tech slide, street and anything else that makes him happy.

Each Sk8 Session episode is what you get when we grab a couple of our riders, mix them together and let them feed off of one another’s energy. We want to know why they skate, what it does for them, and what each of them brings to the mix in terms of their own style and skills. Street, park, downhill, freeride … we love to skate it all. We embrace ALL types of skateboarding and we want each Sk8 Session video to open minds and open doors. It’s all skateboarding and it’s all good!
