October 13, 1996. Oakland, CA. "Jim's Ramp Jam" is a 1996 video filmed at Jim Thiebaud's legendary indoor mini ramp in West Oakland, built by Brian Schaefer. Hosted by Deluxe Skateboards, the jam featured a massive lineup of top skaters, including legends like Mark Gonzales, Daewon Song, and Chris Senn. Though jokingly billed as a contest for the title of “Master Skateboarder,” the event was more about raw, creative skating and community. With its unique ramp design and unforgettable energy, the video captures the heart of ‘90s skateboarding. It also honors fallen skaters Phil Shao, Tim Brauch, and Jaya Bonderov.
