World’s Best In Line Skater AJ Jackson by filmmaker Keith O’Derek
AJ Bruce Action Jackson is one of the founders of street skating and extreme helped pave the way for In-Line Skating, Xtreme Skating and the X games to become what it is today!
AJ jackson is one of the most overlooked, unrecognized contributors to the skating industry.
This rebel from South Central LA, moved to Venice and was a permanant fixture at Venice Beach, performing daily for the locals and tourist. He has toured the World promoting In-Line Skating, Bauer, Pro-tec and Rollerblade all becoming household names.
AJ brought skating to the inner city and on this occassion to the Crenshaw Baldwin Hills Mall in 1995. He is also the founder of Hardline clothing and skate wheels.
As a filmmaker I am thankful I was able to document a portion of his extreme career.
