Here's a video part from one of my favorite vert skaters, the late Jeff Phillips. He had such a unique style...one of a kind. His inverts were some of the best. The different variations he would do were just awesome. He looked good doing them. Great style. His signature trick, the Phillips 66, can be seen at 2:03. Love to watch him do a boneless too.

I use to have a copy of a vert contest held at Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach. 1985 or 1986, somewhere in there. It had some great shots of Jeff. Wish I still had it. Neil Blender was on there too kicking ass. I believe he did his Wooly Mammoth there...awesome looking trick.

Anyway, this video part is from the Santa Cruz Speed Wheels Team video, "Speed Freaks Video".

Any negative comments will be deleted.

Rest In Peace Jeff.

  • i miss the old JPSP out in dallas

  • r.i.p

  • Nice tribute!

  • @Don1970 why?

  • R.I.P Jeff

  • This has to be one of my favorite video parts ever! His skate career would have went through the roof if he would have made it to the late 90's when skating came back. Would like to see some re-issue decks come out.

  • Jeff you were the best, and you totally gave the birdfinger to the 540 craze.

  • Jeff was the greatest, he always skated at the park and asked us to wear gear so the kids would.. Jeff will always be missed

  • I don't think I've seen anyone invert quite like Jeff.

  • he killed himself exactly 11 days after i was born.. RIP jeff
