Episode 031 Jesse Parker, Longboarder OMG! He's a Rebel who skates everything on 38 Inches of Wood!!

Been skating all around with Jesse for ages. He seems to shows up everywhere I go and rips everything. He rides a longer board than you do. He has a Gravity and a Pope Skates Longboard Model (that's right, he's got two) and at over 38" he does slappies, and wall rides better than I can on my smaller sized board.

We talk stereotypes, skate spots like Sano Land Ditch, Indian School, Kona skatepark, Steve Olson, Andy McDonald, Dave Hackett and his hairy chest, and our mutual love for Brad Edwards (RIP). We also talk crazy skatepark designs with neck high handrails, we google skate stoppers, discuss pads, injuries, experiences, the public's lack of real knowledge of skateboard manufacturing etc...

Jesse wanted to thank his sponsors Gravity, Pope Skates, Clayer Brand and fellow longboard skater Tib's Parise, Socco Socks, Shark Shivers Bearings, Posuer Mfg, Duck Foot Beer, Tracker Trucks, Powerflex Wheels, Priority Longboard Crew, and whoever else he forgot to tell me...

Jesse is a lifelong skateboarder, and just happens to ride a longer board, so to me he's just a skateboarder. Hope you enjoy our conversation.
