The Daily Grind – Jake Coulson Welcome Edit

January 15, 2015

Here’s a rad one to start your Thursday off right! The Daily Grind dropped Jake Coulson’s official welcome edit that’s loaded with some real good clips to bring the news! Hopefully this means we’ll be seeing plenty more of him in the near future. I know I’m looking forward to seeing his “Hardtimes” DVD part that’s due out later this year.

“Yung Jackson started out as a protege of Zack Gerber’s from Columbus but after coming around on the first few Hardtimes filming trips and killing on and off his bike it was unanimous among the boys that he belonged on the team. He’s been a member of the DG family for the better part of a year already, now its official. welcome to the team Jake.”
