Jim Greco
Age: 35
Sponsors: Deathwish, Brigada, Indy, 502
Home: Los Angeles (via New Haven, CT)
Big moves in 2013: Jim's part in The Deathwish Video showcased a legendary skater at the height of his powers. Traditional hammers (i.e. rails and gaps) shared time with what's becoming the hallmark of the Greco experience - ingenious roof gaps and rig-ups, reboots of fringe 90s maneuvers (darkslides and fastplants) and hella surprises - a fluffy new 70s Mean Streets-inspired hairstyle?! Grecs did everything but barrel jump in this whopper of a video part and his follow-up tricks promoting his new shoe, The Hammer, included what has to be the biggest juker fastplant of all time as well as fakie tre over a table that could have made it into a Koston part.

Legacy: Jim Greco, he did it HIS way.
