If you were a skateboarder in the early 2000s, chances are you grew up on Jon Miner’s work. The visionary behind iconic projects like This is Skateboarding, Kids in Emerica, Stay Gold, and more, Miner helped define a generation of skate videos. Skaters couldn’t get enough of his signature look and feel — raw, stylish, unforgettable. To kick off Season 2 of Let It Kill You, series creator Ben McQueen heads to Santa Rosa to dive into Jon’s personal life, tracing his journey through stories, memories, and candid moments. Jon gets real — personal, vulnerable, and unfiltered — opening up about skateboarding, life, and what it takes to be one of the best skateboarders to ever step behind the camera. From Andrew Reynolds to Heath Kirchart, hear from the legends themselves as they reflect on what made working with Jon so special. Watch the full video on @VICE.
