For the Love of Skateboarding
An Ex-Pro with a Go-Pro selfie filmed part. An underrated innovator in the 90’s & early aughts, these days Jerry is a Firefighting Family man that needs to scratch the itch. Still has that timeless style and trick selection, a true inspiration for the old heads and youngbloods too!
Guest clips from Roger Bagley, Rick Jaramillo, Armin Bachman, Jimmy Lake and Kenny Anderson.
Copley Square has been a homebase for Boston skateboarders for over 30 years, with most of the action going down at the Library or fountain. Just to the side of the Library sits a painted yellow sloping concrete barrier with a super unique shape that seems to be highly skateable, the only catch is that it’s an entrance to the Mass Pike Interstate and at the intersection of 5 streets in the heart of the city.
