Who’s Jim and how did he die?
The tale of Jim haha. We had finished the first DVD and didn’t know what to call it until some kids Granddad died in my mate’s school who was called Jim. Not sure how he died, rumour has it he had a severe allergic reaction to hair dye. Everyone thought it was funny to shout “JIMS DEAD!” that’s how it started. We started to make a few T shirts, stickers and stuff like that, he was shocked when he saw the stuff but finds it funny so it’s all good.

Kids can be cruel I suppose. Who will feature in the video and how old are you all?
Everyone who rides with us has a clip somewhere but the main riders who have sections are Jack Marsh aka quacky boy who sends it. Mikey Bradshaw (Joey Ramone) who is a crazy rider that 360’s off anything, I have section, Tom Cookson (the small park rat) who is the smoothest rider out of any of us. Tobias Bode (Bebe) who just send’s it down rails and surprises us with new grinds every time we ride mostly by accident, Toby Hacking has a few clips and anyone who hangs around with us gets a clip if they want cause we tend not that arsed about who is in it. We are 14 to 16 apart from Tom Cockson who’s actually four.

Your average session for this crew. Scouring the roof tops.

You all look like pickpockets from the hit film Oliver Twist, where are you from?
Pickpockets? What do you mean is it because we are street Ruffians? Hooligan shenanigans? some of us have long hair cause we can’t be bothered getting it cut and have ripped clothes but we don’t wear top hats? I found Tom Cockson in rampworx crying because he had not hit puberty yet and still hasn’t and over six year later we have formed into a big group of friends. Some of us live in Crosby, Formby which is near Liverpool and some live In Wigan.

I’ve not seen many riders wearing braces over the years, whats the story there?
Bebe is a non-racist skinhead, he just couldn’t afford a belt so he nicked the braces of Oliver Twist.

We’ll probably be featuring the Jims Dead crew in the future by the looks of things, until then any last words?
