Skately said...: Soooo smooth! One of the best backside flips, back tails & 360 flips of all time. Dude was the DLXSF logo for crying out loud. Top 5 style for sure!; February 23, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Anonymous said...: nate jones was cool, but along with kenny reed he also spawned the 'steezy' generation -- yo ollies, yo flips, yo kickflips, you b/s smith grinds, yo carves, etc; February 23, 2012 at 9:36 AM

Henry said...: To me, "steezy" is contrived. I think N. Jones has natural style.

Nice title for the Robert Plant of skateboarding.; February 23, 2012 at 5:31 PM

zubaz said...: He's super good. You need that Ipath ad with the limber legs kickflip over a construction barrier..got that Matt Field/Quim Cardona yogi shit. His Six Newell part was the shit, too.; February 23, 2012 at 9:00 PM

shinebox said...: Nate is the man. he lives in Alameda and has a family. One of the nicest, laid back dudes I have met that rides a skateboard.; February 27, 2012 at 4:52 PM
Keith said...: Must be nice to have such a nice bs flip and 360 flip. And great flow too.

Never knew he was from Dayton, OH. Wouldn't Dyrdek be the home town hero everyone would look up to? He doesn't mention him in the interview. That hammer period in skateboarding was corny.; March 5, 2012 at 10:32 AM
