This is a picture of Jay Adams- one of the original Z Boys of Dog Town. It incapsulates his spirit 100%. The 1970s, Jay and his crew are attacking a pool. You can see the coping coming up from Jay grinding on it so hard. This photo is miles beyond what other humans were doing at that time on wheels. In Venice Beach California- they were creating an extreme sport but there were no rules or regulations yet. It was just a pure adrenalin outlet. I keep this picture of Jay at the foot of my fireplace. He died this morning. I keep the photo of Jay for me and my boys to see every day. To see the look in his eyes- his fist; his mouth. Wild. Defiance. The first time we met he as so happy he licked my face and laughed. You dont forget meetings like that I assure you. Jay Adams was a true American hero. Its a sad sad day today in Venice....
