Jamie Thomas, who's also known as The Chief, is one of the most influential skateboarders of all time. After his breakout part in Toy Machine's Welcome to Hell, Thomas went on to start Zero, under parent-company Tumyeto. Zero's second video, Misled Youth, was released in 1998. The Chief had the last part, and he skated to two songs: The Who's Baba O'Riley and The Doors' The End. It is one of our favorite parts of all time, if not our favorite, and it is available here. (We recommend anyone considering buying this board to watch this part first.)
Thomas himself handwrote some of the Baba O'Riley lyrics on the top of this deck, a limited-edition Misled Youth cruiser. It is our understanding he handwrote lyrics on only three decks. We say that this deck is "one of a kind" because he unintetionally omitted "to prove I'm right" from the verse.
The bottom of the deck is signed by Thomas.
In summary, Thomas is one of the best skateboarders on the planet. Misled Youth is one of the best videos ever. Thomas's ending part is one of the best ending parts of all time. Baba O'Riley. And the deck is HOT PINK.
