It would be nice to see jackson step it up and do some big things. small tech and 180’s out of grinds will get old after a while. i hope it didnt take too long to scrape that footage for that small short section, but it seems like he must have worked REALLY hard for a good while to get those clips down. Some say hes pro, i would think just flo. jake honesto is better and he’s just consitered flo. I honestly think that there are a large handfull, well let me say large bag of riders that deserve some sponsors that can put out a little better footage. its ashame on the concept of: its who u know, not what u can do theory. jackson got a free ride due to the fact that he is good with all the right people. no doubt he is a good rider, and i do respect the riding out of him i have seen, but i honestly think he gets a free ride with all these undeserved sponsors. GO BIG OR GO HOME…
i gave that nigga his name bossy J hiz iz hella gay
