Phil
Phil began skateboarding at the age of 8. He used to visit the jungle with his dad, but eventually, he started coming alone to skate the halfpipe. When Josh was ready to start building, Phil would stay for weeks to help use old concrete to build up and eventually turn it into ramps. Josh was the first person to get him to drop in on a ramp. Josh watched him grow into the person he is now. “There wasn't a time when I didn't feel like family around Josh and his, they have had my back since I was a little kid. Now he's one of my greatest friends and nothing will stop that.”

Nicholas
Nicholas started skating around 13. He met "Joker" aka Jungle Josh shortly after and they've been tearing it up together ever since. Jen also came into the picture shortly after. They were always tearing it up in the streets or building ramps at the park. The good old days! "The Jungle is a weird concoction of an amazing skate session, art collective, family reunion, and construction job. You never know what's gonna go down. Just be ready to help out and have a good time." He started coming to the jungle way before it was the jungle. Nicholas has some pretty rad painting skills and just finished a piece at the Jungle. "The jungle and all the bandits, old and new, hold a special place in my heart. That place has seen us at our best and worst. It's just something we had to navigate to grow and become better versions of ourselves. I can't wait to see where this goes and the fun we will have together. Much love n respect to everyone involved. Let's get it!!!"
*Favorite trick: Half cab heels 
Jesse
Jesse is in charge of Video Production and Metal Fabrication here at The Concrete Jungle. He first came to The Jungle late 2023 but became part of the crew early 2024. Jesse first started skating around 7 years old but was on and off into his early 20s. “Although my passion for skating never left, I took a long break until the age of 29 when I found out about The Concrete Jungle. The day I brought my girlfriend Magz and our 3 children to see the park was the day our families blended into one and it's been all love ever since. I came out of "retirement", after taking an 8 year hiatus, from video production for the sole purpose of shedding light on all of the cool shit we do here at The Jungle.”
*Favorite trick: any kind of Disco Flip variation!
Magz
Magz started skating in her early teens but didn't continue with it. She picked it up again at the age of 29 and now enjoys cruising around on her Heroin Avi guest board. Magz quickly became part of the Jungle family when her boyfriend, Jesse, became good friends with the owners. They have three Jr. bandits who also come to the Jungle to skate. Although she's not a skilled skater yet, Magz is proficient in graphic design. She volunteers her time to create anything the Jungle might need and has already designed their new logo, as well as having many design ideas for upcoming projects. “I love coming to the Concrete Jungle. It's a place where it doesn't matter how good of a skater you are, or even if you don't skate at all; everyone supports you no matter what. Josh and Jen are really good people. They made us feel like family just within visiting the jungle a few times. I also love having somewhere my kids can go and just hang out, and be around the skate community.”

I also enjoy doing pretty much any outdoor activities, cooking, watching movies,shows or YouTube, spending time with friends and family and I’m also a huge animal lover. I’ve been a part of everything since the beginning and I enjoy seeing not only the park grow but our community too.”

Scotty
Scotty began skateboarding when he was 7 years old. He got his first board from Walmart. His dad bought him his first pro board at the age of 9, which was a Kerry Getz habitat board. At that time, he was learning how to do ollies. He started skating transition at FDR and would often meet up with locals to help them build there. Scotty faced some challenges along the way but had a friend, Matt in Jim Thorpe, with whom he planned to stay. He heard about the jungle and went to check it out. Afterward, he began helping with construction, attending meetings, and making memories with good friends. He went back to Florida to figure some things out and focused on building himself up. Eventually, he returned to the Jungle and helped Josh finish what he had started. "It's one of the coolest feelings," he said.
