Jamie Thomas #17.



All of the thrills.

Jamie had a few ads for Mercury. I thought this was the better one for the feature since he was doing a grind. I like how the fisheye lens makes the Smith grind kind of resemble a frontside feeble. His connection with Chris Miller led to a spot on Adio when the footwear brand was launched in early 1998. A couple of friends did ride Mercurys. They said they turned kind of oddly, but that you got used to it.

This sequence is by Atiba Jefferson.
