Edits[edit]

Jamie Thomas

I rewrote the Jamie Thomas page a bit to emphasize the point that he didn't actually land the Leap of Faith. I also made a few minor edits that didn't really change anything (spelling, syntax, etc.) --Nichenbach 12:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leap of Faith[edit]

Although many people believe that Jamie Thomas, proffesional skateboarder, succesfully landed the "Leap Of Faith", he didn't.He attempted the "leap" in the skate video "Thrill Of It All", but wasn't succesful. He tried to do a melon grab off the leap but snapped his board each attempt.Although he didnt land it, he is still a GOD to every discipline of the sport of skateboarding.

I decided to look for verification of what ultimately happened to the Leap of Faith. I found an article on the Thrasher Website that says the Leap of faith was "removed due to recent remodeling". Therefore, I edited the page to be more consistent with information that could be verified. I am not 100% certain that the landing was replaced with grass (I thought I remembered seeing a picture, but can't find it), so I think it's better to go with this unless we can get some definite confirmation. --Nichenbach 21:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that it is the best the way it is now, although maybe sometime in the future if someone can get a hold of pictures of leap of faith before and after photos, there just might be enough information to create a separate page...--KoRnholio8 21:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up[edit]

Took out all the extraneous info about the Zero team and videos. You can find all of that on the Zero wiki page. The Jamie Thomas page should be information about Thomas, not about Zero.-Dubkiller 03:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Josh Kasper[edit]

An artical on the Transworld Skateboarding webside says that " ...Richard King, suffered two broken legs upon impact..." trying the "Leap of Faith".So it has not been Josh Kasper.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.176.36 (talk • contribs)

Can you find the link on ther internet? That is very important to referencing!--KoRnholio8 08:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep! Here's the link.The pic is so insane.
