I had just had surgery and I couldn't skate, so one of the guys at Let It Ride (my local skate shop at the time) gave me the video to keep me hyped on skating till I was better.<br />Anyway... I watched that video over 100 times (I'm not kidding) and Rick J's Wheels of Fortune was always the highlight of the video.<br />On a side note. My buddy Steve and I use to prank call random people will the intro to his Wheels of Fortune. "Hi. My name is Rick Jaramillo. People call me Rick J, I don't know why. I ride for Planet Earth... I'd like to thank my Grandmother, that's it."<br /> To this day, I still don't know why we thought it so damn funny. <br />Thanks again for another great post, Chops.Bif Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-39639087083771013242011-06-24T23:38:35.893-07:002011-06-24T23:38:35.893-07:00Thanks Kenny!

Sure enough... one of my favorites. I recently did a short film using some friends that have inspired me throughout my life. Rick J was in my top 5.

Back then, I did like that Black Sheep part though. I thought he had a smooth style.<br /><br />What video is that "Rick - G.T." from? <br /><br />Blockhead video grab sequence is brutal. Not necessarily the trick but the general screen grab format.
