WBW Spotlight: Jazzy Jai

WBW: Jazzy Jai!! You represent the new school and the old of Go Sports. Thus we were wondering what is your take on the old school and the new school?

JazzyJai: uh, new school's more progressive skating than old school.
old school's more bout sense of belonging.. fun skating!

WBW: In any sense and why not name us 3 of your homeboys from WBW that you would txt to skate?

JazzyJai: Hafiz.. (watched him grow), eusoff.. (nice dude, hopefully becomes my cousin in-law) and raynie.... can't think of anything bout him.. itchy balls? done... 3 dudes

WBW: We understand you re getting married and WBW is looking forward to the big day. Is there any thoughts of quit skating?

JazzyJai: It's been bugging me for a while.. on and off thingy but can't seem to brush it off of my system.. addicted to skating.. love the sport, the culture too much!

i'll be serious married man but still have fun skating once a while.

WBW: We heard you kickflipped onto a ping pong table years ago..and we at WBW knows you got one of the best pops around! But after all these years of skating, what is your personal expectations or beliefs when you step on a board? now and then?

JazzyJai: Never changed still... just enjoy the skating session. don't push beyond your own limit. if you can land the flip up the table, good for you. Personal achievement attained... but if you can't, it's okay.. just laugh it off with the 3 dudes you sk8ed with.

maybe i'll try the flip up the table again, the table still there right?

WBW: Yea but i think a couple of pigeons made love there and left some dirty stains.But if you could land a trick b4 you quit.what are you gona pull off?

JazzyJai: ..always a dream... i'll end my skating life with a hydrant ollie with photos and all... i want to show it to my kid.

WBW: Speaking of family and things that are not necessarily associated with just skating, where do you find inspiration in other aspects of your life. It's easy to assume that you just skate and you hold, but are you involved or interested in anything else with the same passion? And do those things ever enter into your profession or push it forward. ?

JazzyJai: Skating came into my life when i was pretty serious bout music. the sense of belonging that i had with the go sports guys back then was so great that i quit my guitar lessons at yamaha.. i had more fun skating with them guys than playing guitar alone.. still, music will always be great passion of mine.. be it playing a guitar or just listening to music.. thanks to my dad for the influence.but soon, raising my own family will be another passion of mine... can't wait for that too

WBW: Its good to know that our Jazzy Jai is Family man!!!You ve been skating for more than a decade, and you ve probably seen it all.. among all which local skater is worth a mention?

JazzyJai: taufik ang mo kio, switch hardflip down 6 back in '97.. no one can beat that!

WBW: We 're curious...back in '97 in go sports.. theres no flat bars and fun boxes what do you guys skate and where?

JazzyJai: street skating... concrete jungle.. curbs, stairs, benches.. across the road.. perfect skating spot for hours of fun and no one can stop you or nag at you..



WBW: Thats raw skating...ok! now choose one.. playing Sweet Child O Mine solo in front of 100 thousands people or Heelflippin down forum?

JazzyJai: i rather heelflip down forum... unless it's a Smashing Pumpkins song..

WBW: Nike Sb classics or Lakai selects?

JazzyJai: that's tough man... err... sb classics... sorry howard

WBW: Alright last question for you family man, Before you embark to becoming world's no.1 dad and smashing pumpkins fan.. what are you going to do to remember your singlehood and the once carefree moments with your board?

JazzyJai: i'll buy another board... keep at home.. remember the days of sk8boarding with the guys at go sports... howard, girl og board.
