Jimmy Lannon.



Spirit Quest.

Jimmy is from Sarasota, Florida. He rode for Element before joining up with the Magenta crew and turning pro for them. He was sponsored by Lakai, but might be on Adidas these days. I had one of his boards from a few years ago that had a fire hydrant for the graphic. It was a really good deck. Jimmy and his big ollies turn up quite often in assorted independent videos.

This post is for all arty and/or shop videos that feature the lesser knowns in the sometimes lesser traveled lands. It's also for all the skaters in those videos that I cannot find pictures of in print. I know the importance of ink on paper is fading in this digital age, but it still is a nice thing to have. Keep on rolling and keep on filming. I watch what I can and I like what y'all are doing.

Solsticij.

I picked a good day to take off from work. It was sunny and pleasant. I got to skateboard for a while this morning before the wind really picked up. A little snow might show up over night.
