We knew about Jay and some of his buddies due to their regular local skate videos that were posted on Google Video. It wasn't till in late 2006 that were introduced to Jay by Mr Tinkler.

Watching Jay skate is awesome, and we just knew we had to get him on the skate team, because if we didn't somebody else would! His style is fluid and powerful, with a vast arsenal of longboard skate tricks to pull from, he is truly an asset to the team that we can all learn from.

So sit back, and watch Jay sliding around south Devon:
