He was on the shop team for Buddies in Ealing, where I’m told he danced in the shop a lot. Also had a photo acid dropping off a bus shelter.

Shame things went so horribly downhill.

I used to live near buddies, i remember when it opened, very exciting for a kid whod never really seen skateboarding before. I was on rollerskates at that point. Age 9 or something. They used to play Future Primitive in the window

Pro boards weren’t a thing in the 70s like they are today.

Surely if he got bunged a few quid for doing some shit for a skate shop in a rich part of town, that could tenuously be described as pro for the time.

But as someone said earlier, it’s probably a talking point that a publicist has told him to run with and embellish.

I have no idea where I saw this, or if it’s a product of some kind of fever dream, but I can recall a print interview, I’m not sure who with, where it says that JK’s nickname at South Bank was Jason kneepads. Whoever the interview was with goes on to say, at that time JK was about 16 and was crashing out in his uncle’s(?) allotment shed overnight and was getting by knocking out some sketchy hash deals. I have held this ‘fact’ in my memory bank for about 30 years.

If jason isaacs is popular now it’s because he’s cast inthe film adaptation of the huge hit book the salt path which has been struck down with controversy over the authenticity of thr story.

Edit for reference

Ok we’ve debunked this guy’s claims. Who’s next? I don’t believe this one either. John Textor, part owner of Crystal Palace and all round alleged dickhead

‘’Textor was said to have been “one of the few who surpassed [multiple world champion] Rodney Mullen in freestyle competition during” the late 1970s". (8] Textor left competitive skateboarding in the early 1980s‘’

The wording is slightly misleading. Mullen didn’t get his first board until 1977 but did go on to win the World Championship in 1980 and then was essentially undefeated after that. Even Rodders must have sucked for the first bit of the ‘’late 1970s.’’

As for the head injury - my guess is Textor’s headband was too tight.

Guy might be a rich dickhead but this one’s actually true by the looks of it, pretty sure someone posted this video a few months ago, no? Cheeky little slash at the end and some freestyle spinning.
