Jim Greco was born on 25 December 1977 in West Haven, Connecticut. He has been a legendary skateboarder and icon for decades. Greco has appeared in videos such as Zero’s Misled YouthAsian GoddessBaker BootlegBaker 2GBaker 3Baker Has A Deathwish, and The Deathwish Video.

In 2005, Greco became part of a new footwear company called Supra, along with Erik Ellington, Tom Penny, Antwuan Dixon, Chad Muska, and KR3W owner Angel Cabada. Some of his pro model shoes were the “Thunder” and the “Hammer” for Supra footwear. He established Bakerboys Distribution with Andrew Reynolds and Erik Ellington in 2007. Bakerboys Distribution provides distribution for closely related in-house skateboard companies. He co-founded Deathwish Skateboards in 2008, along with Erik Ellington.

In 2016, Greco released a new cinematic offering titled The Way Out, which focuses on his journey through the 11th and 12th years of his sobriety. With cameos from Jeremy Klein. With Cinematography by Joey Sinko and Tobin Yelland. In 2017, Greco released Year 13, a 21-minute long follow up to The Way Out. It chronicles his 13th year of sobriety and features him shredding anything and everything in Los Angeles, along with cameos from Jeremy Klein, Jason Lee, Chris Pastras, and Danny Sargent, with cinematography by Joey Sinko and Tobin Yelland.

Needless to say, this man has been a staple in the skateboarding industry for longer than most skaters have been alive these days. At 44 years of age he still continues to draw eyes with a new part just released on Thrasher Mag’s Youtube channel – Jim Greco’s “White Wall” – Only Jim Greco can keep us glued to the screen even though the first trick isn’t until 1:45 mins into the video. The part is raw and gritty, he visits some of his iconic spots from past years, but skates them in a different way this time. The part is artsy and intriguing, give it a watch!
