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!
