This experience wasn't just about the physical act of defying stunt; it was the camaraderie and banter within the community.
With his discerning eye for talent, Phelps recognized Jaws' potential and played a pivotal role in fostering his growth as a skateboarder.
Phelps left an indelible mark on Jaws' career and perspective.
