JIMMY LEE THARPE

photos:Luke Brennan

Jim comes from a family of people that excel at riding two wheeled machines. Something about the blood in his veins just makes him good at riding all kinds of bikes. I'd characterize Jim's riding style as natural, he doesn't ever really force anything and it looks better that way. Jim's made a name for himself in the mountain bike world, but i wouldn't ever call him a mountain biker because he spends a lot of time on his bmx, like he always has. A lot of times Jim just rides whatever bike is running best. No matter what bike he is on he is always having fun.

Ah jimmy. No doubt that our friend mr tharpe is extremely talented on two wheeled machines. I'm glad you chose jim this time around Jackson. Other than jim being the largest flake in the cereal box he has always been a good friend. Who's up next jack?

God damn it dusty. I hate you. When you get a shot in a mag then you can talk shit. Last time I checked you rode mountain bikes too. Maybe not in the park but you still ride 26's. Plenty of trail shots in decline that you would be stoked on having. Less hate, more fun. Now go drink your sorrows and bad sentence structure away. P.s. Thanks for the compliment.
