Jay Adams

Before Jay Adams came along Skateboarding was like every other youth sport. Jay in particular was a game changer and gave SK8ing the hard edge it craved. I know when  I was a grom I had a Bahne Superflex and tried to mimic what the Dogtown kids were doing. I didnt know Jay but I used to see him regularily on the Northshore of Hawaii and he would always nod and say hello. This frame grab below of Jay behind the wheel of a American Muscle car with full Hydraulics was taken outside my rental flat on Ken Nui rd at Rocky Point in ’95. A Stylemaster with out even trying. RIP Jay.
