Skateboarding is huge in Australia, but in order to have the career he wanted Jake packed up for skate-Mecca, San Diego. Since arriving in the U.S. he has become a four time X Games Medalist who completed the first ever 720 on a Megaramp, which was followed by a well-publicized 45 foot freefall that would have killed your average person. Miraculously, iron-Jake stood up and walked away from the fall, eventually returning to Megaramp competition and most recently taking Gold in the 2009 X Games. When not skating, his entrepreneurial side has him starting up the skate clothing line, Laced and organizing large music and skate events. When the party’s on Jake is in the center of it all manning the turntables with housemates Spliff (music producer) and Creep (rapper).
