TransWorld SKATEboarding To Honor Jason Jessee With The Legend Award On February 16, 2012
Carlsbad, CA – TransWorld SKATEboarding announces this year's TWS Legend Award recipient, Jason Jessee, who will be honored on Thursday, February 16, during the 2012 TW SKATE Awards Presented By New Era in Hollywood, California.
If there was one skater who changed the direction of skateboarding, not only on the board, but off it, then Jason Jessee is up there with the best. Just when vert skating was spiraling out of control in a haze of obscure haircuts and clothing to match, along came Jessee with a simple yet twisted formula that was built to last.
"Jessee inspired a generation to rethink itself, from the seamless power of his skating to his whimsical thoughts that he was never afraid to share," said TransWorld SKATEboarding Editor In Chief Skin Phillips. "He taught us that vintage is good, made nearly all of us get tattoos, has the best frontside ollies in the game, the greatest graphics ever, and was a breath of fresh air when skateboarding needed it most. Timing is everything."
