[Jah044445]

Haha, story of my life. I skated before I played music too, skating was my life for like 4 or 5 years, it was my first love. I still do it every so often, but music has become more of a priority for me now. Haha.But you are much better than I am...

[Howellproductions1]

wheres the rail at the begining

[DerekSkatesAllDay]

Ever since I've started drumming I can't balance skating and drumming,it's amazing to see someone else handle it! And who's a human being,cause Ray Barbee and Tommy Guerrero don't count,there legends.

[DerekSkatesAllDay]

Is this all in Michigan?(Excluding DC Skate Plaza,of course)

I've only been to Hart Plaza and I remember seeing some photos of my brothers friends skating that red rail. Props for those sick 50-50s though!

[ilovemutemath]

hahaha sufjan stevens as a tag.

[Godlovesyou234]

[mixitashix]

[GoofyMutt12]

O.K. I'm impressed. Now, I would like to see you play the guitar WHILE skateboarding.

[iloveoveralls]

small world. i play banjo and uke and skate too.

[DanMichelFerrisIII]

thats so cool that u like the unicorns, their like my favorite band

[urzulika]

Super cool!

[artintheforest]

heart plaza manny pad anyone? right across the river from me haha

[ejohnsizzle]

...and without a helmet. I can barely do those moves in THPS 2. Some of these peeps are telling you not to waste your talent by quitting skating, but i have to agree with the one guy, it'd be more of a waste if you fell and broke your hand and couldn't play music! But seriously, this is great, i love the homemade feel (fisheye with cut-off corners) and you must have put some serious hours and hard falls into it to get so good.

[PrettyLoather]

You're so cool. Serious.

[franesBlamescheezytv]

GOODNESS, your just like matt costa!! Just don't get into any accidents mister. I like how you skate.

[Hefe1030]

Holy fuck. you better not quit, your way to damn good. love your music

[RobbyRevolver]

lol hart plaza.

[lildrummerboy874]

I.... want to be your friend. great music and skating? so sick.

[superheroesarereal]

whoa is there anything you're NOT good at? ^_^

[xsoccerplaya]

whatever :24-:26 is its insane

[xXSOADDUDEXx]

yeh WTH was that xD!!

[Branskate]

dang your just as good as skating as you are music. FS smith Bs 180 out?? Thats sick...You should definitely keep skating because i always hate to see talent go to waste...

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

[Gazzyvfd]

I think it''s "the Unicorns"

[ilovemutemath]

WOW.

What a transition!

[swfunk]

SICK!!!! I've never seen some of this footage before.

I miss the Milford Media days.

[Courtn3yStews]

amazing. i can't believe you can be this good at both skateboarding and music. so sooo good!

[fallenfootwear777]

dude you should skate on the side.. to talented to waste

[Ttothentothec03]

I'd be too afraid of breaking my hand and ruining my music career

[mikokenos]

[Clayterman]

[negatiivethree]

Sweet! I am afraid to death of rails.

[melissais]

[hardyplace]

[timothyzha]

[ButThatBelt]

Is there anything you can't do?

[vdiggie]

btw, loved the background music, the unicorns as i learn from the comments.

[KOJINTEKI12]

俺もギターとスケボーが趣味だけど、どっちもあなたの方が100­倍上手です。great!

[RippenInTheMitten248]

Say yes to Michigan ! All these spots rock, and these are my two favorite unicorns songs. You rock all in all.

[BraidyWelch1]

you're good at like everything, as with my friend Dave.

How many boards have you gone through?

[sektr7g]

holy cow man, you're just talented all around! switch pole jams and songs like 22...

[TheBoss2332]

That was fantastic.

[artichuck]

You're way too cool for school. Really.

[Tmanjunior]

hey no fair! you can't be good at 2 things!

[dazaran11693]

dude, you're crazy

i remember seein a bunch of this stuff in rippin in the mitten

back 180 big t's was sick

[RaleighBrooks9]

i didn't expect you to be so good at skating. i assumed you turned to music because you sucked at skating, but you had a ton of legit tricks and great style.

[brightshinylights]

he makes music and skateboards. good choices and skills right there! watching skate vids have become something i love doing since i've got a few friends that are crazy about that stuff. i really do love watching them. well done!

[pianki]

oh geez, I have some good memories of skate videos... they are actually part of the reason why I started listening to the music I do. I remember seeing built to spill and modest mouse in skate videos back in 99.

[DrinkTheFish]

Exactly dude, Skateboarding and filming for parts is def. what got me into music. It would take me longer to pick the right song for my part than it did to film it.

[EastFtball13]

skating and music are one in the same. stay true to what you love man. skateboarding wont always be there for you. id be a shame if you quit.

[1i2cant3sleep]

hey man, ive been watching your vidoes... fisr of all, i love your singign voice. and i love the songs you pick to cover. your an excellent piano player, and your originals portrait excellent guitar work. and then i found out you skated, and you are or at leat were ver very good. i do all the things you do, i love to skate and creating music is wonderful. i jus thtoguth it would be nice for you to here that what you do is greatly appreciated by many, one peson being me.

[mexskater]

why did you stop skating that much, you know you could have been sponsored hope you keep skating

[mittenskateboarding]

hey jeff wheres that red rail at the beginning?

[pianki]

I don't remember where exactly. It's a church somewhere off of orchard ridge rd. I don't think it is there anymore though.

[NYnkeeGrl]

Awesome! You're wicked good. I get scared watching skaters, though...no stories of bone-crunching wipe-outs, I hope!

[pianki]

haha not until about a year ago, I had a bad luck streak and broke my elbow and then broke my wrist two months later and needed surgery. Nothing since though!

[solidskater900]

MAD GOOD

[nerdyouare1]

I forgot to ask... Is that Belle and Sebastian? If it isn't, it sure sounds like them.

[pianki]

It's the Unicorns!! They are sweet.

[nerdyouare1]

Awesome. I will have to check them out. If you have never heard of Belle and Sebastian, you need to check them out as well! The British are invading! WOO HOO 8-)

[pianki]

Oh I know them, they are one of my favorite bands ever!

[nerdyouare1]

awesome! They are amazing! Also, if you haven't heard of Nickel Creek, you should check them out. They are one of my favorite bands ever! They give me goosebumps everytime I hear them. They aren't touring anymore, but their live concerts were amazing.... Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps..haha

[pianki]

That was weird, I was just watching a video of fiona apple and nickel creek off a fiona apple dvd. I love them. Chris Thile is one of the best musicians of all time!

[nerdyouare1]

that is crazy!! lol. I agree. His voice gives me chills!!!! He is the BEST mandolin player out there. Sean Watkins is the world's best flat picker as well. His solo stuff is really good too. I am sad they are taking a break, but they deserve it.

[nerdyouare1]

That was rad! I wanted to try skateboarding when I was younger and chickened out... so, I picked up the guitar instead...lol.

[mittenskateboarding]

very nice jeff.

[supradude7891]

Gaad damn.

your better than a lot of skaters that JUST skate.

right on man,

[predatorywasp16]

[predatorywasp16]
