Here’s a video of Jason Lee when he was 14 years old, 3 years before turning pro, very interesting.

This rare video has Jason Lee with footage from around age 14 (Jason would turn pro 3 years later). Although the video is recorded as 1980, obviously it’s wrong since Lance Mountain’s deck was around 1984. Regardless, Jason Lee, at age 14 is doing tricks here that no pros were doing at that time. Radically ahead of his time with smooth kickflips when the flatground ollie itself was just invented, Jason shows that at age 14, he already had the style that made him the smoothest street skater ever. While the world was getting into invert circles from doing bonelesses for years, Jason already was proving that ollie tricks were the future. Now an actor, Jason is still credited with being the first to be street-tech with style and he is still the possessor of the greatest 360 flips. The end is Jason playing guitar in his hilarious singing style.
