Straight up: Skinny kills it. He
ain't scared. Sometimes I think he
breaks himself for the fuck of it.
Seriously, offer to buy him a 40,
and he'll kickflip thirteen stairs,
first try, at night, without really
even looking at it. I've seen this
kid outdrink grown men, do back-
flips into barbecue pits, twist his
shit seventeen times, and just rule
in general. At only seventeen,
"Skin Dawg" will definitely be
killin' shit for a long time to come.

Jimmy Chadwick is a meathead. Now that you under-
stand that, I'll tell you a little more about him: he has a
cotton-like teddy bear heart and the exterior of an
Ultimate Fighting Champion. Jimmy was raised in the
desert and on the Redneck Riviera, but has lived in San
Diego, CA for the better part of four years. Although he
possesses the ability to administer a full-speed Thai kick
to a moving school bus, he's a good person and he can
skate. Jimmy can skate really well. His sponsors are
Expedition and Pacific Drive. -Jason Searcy
