Aaron Homoki (/həˈmki/;[2] born February 2, 1990), also known as Jaws, is an American professional skateboarder and was featured in the True Blue Retrospect video part. He is from Phoenix, Arizona.[3] He is famous for his ability to withstand big drops and to clear large gaps.[4]

He is a four-time winner of Thrasher's King of the Road competition: once as a mystery guest for Alien Workshop, in 2012, and three times for Birdhouse, completing a three-peat in 2013, 2014, and 2015.[4][5]

He also appeared on the cover of Thrasher magazine's March 2016 issue by landing an ollie over Lyon 25, a 25-stair, measuring at a height of 14 feet 9 inches and a length of 22 feet,[6] first made famous (though never landed) by Swedish skateboarder Ali BoulalainLyon, France. He had tried the drop the previous year, tearing his MCL, but he went back and made it with his father and Boulala in attendance as a tribute. The steps have since become iconic and have been used in promotional marketing that Homoki and Boulala participated in.[7][8] Homoki also listed Boulala's Flip Skateboards Sorry part as his "Classic" (or favorite) part in Thrasher.[9]

Homoki won a bronze medal in the Skateboard Park final at the 2014 X GamesinAustin, Texas.[10]
