skateboarder Jim Gray

Skateboarder Jim Gray has been around for many decades. And in this time he became aware of a code. And this code is what the skate industry has sold you on. In fact this code was created by early company owners. And was written because they thought it best for you. The code decides the specs of your deck. And the code determains your wheels and trucks. Another thing the code controls is your skateparks. In other words your skate stuff is picked for you.

Having a conversation with Jim Gray is like watching a skateboard documentary.
