Skateboarding icon Jamie Thomas disclosed that a significant misalignment in ownership drove his decision to leave Circa.

As a respected figure in the skateboarding world known for his enormous handrail skating and influential contributions, he had been associated with Circa for a considerable period.

However, Thomas' departure highlighted a hidden aspect of the company's ownership structure.

It appeared that Circa was owned by a rollerblading company, which had been undisclosed to Thomas and the public.
