Visalia still rips.
Jesse and his younger brother Richard were both pro for Consolidated. They were born in Culver City, where they discovered skateboarding as little kids. The family moved to Visalia and that was when they really got into skating. Having ripping locals like Karma Tsocheff, Dale Blackmon, and Tom Knox around probably aided the cause. Jesse's frontside 180 down Wallenberg in 1992 was one of those big tricks that hinted at what would be possible in the future. He would go on to ride for Think before returning to Consolidated at the end of his pro career.
