Take Care Josh!


People often take interest in whats going on here at Jacks Board House. Our good friend Josh saw the potential of Skateboarding and decided to document some of the skatboarding thats going on here. You can check his vids of some good medford shralpers on his channel (freeboarder) on Vimeo.com as well as youtube.com. Also check his sites for updated videos as well on westboarder.com! Josh took a teaching opportunity in Taiwan and will be missed for half the year. He stopped by the shop to pick up a new set of wheels for his skateboard for his outta country experience. Get some good pics Josh and we'll see you soon! We will be posting pics and blogs of his journey as he sends them in. Get er Done Josh!
