truly a sad day.  he gave skateboarding style at a time when most people were just spinning on their boards, and had absolutely no style.  all those free stylers looked the same.  RIP.

Just saw this on Insta by happenstance. Such a blow the skateboarding world. I haven't seen anyone really reposting yet. So sad to see Stacy's post buried under self-promo. No one's and it's not intentional, but skateboarding owes so much to this guy... It just kind of bothers me.

No. In the early 80's he got arrested for assault, and it was allegedly a 'gay bashing' incident he was involved in. I don't know the specifics. If it was an attack instigated because someone was gay (not involving a person who just happens to be gay, big difference) then yeah, it's fucked up but people change. I don't know Jay's feelings on the topic 20+ years later either way so not going to make any assumptions. Dude was no angel, that's not up for debate.

Around '85-'87 there was a empty capsule pool at my grandma's house in Reseda (still is), deep end is 9' with no flat and about 4' of vert. Not great for skating and hitting tile is a feat, but Jay Adams was one of the few people who ever slashed the coping. Didn't know it was him until almost 10 years later but my 8-9 y/o self was amazed that someone could grind that lip. To this day seeing that shit is one of my most vivid early memories, still one of the gnarliest things I ever saw, and probably contributed to falling so in love with skateboarding at an early age.

RIP

RIP..a sad day for skateboarding. 53 is way to young. Kind of trips you out that this generation of skateboarding is at that age now with even Shogo passing. I can't imagine how I'd feel if say the Gonz or even Tony Hawk passed.

The specifics are that he instigated a fight bc some guy was gay, and then that guy died. Jay Adams discusses this in an interview you can read online. He was a part of someone being murdered for sure.

correct.  he and a friend harassed and assaulted a gay couple outside of Oki Dogs, a famous LA punk hangout.  apparently he left the scene before more people joined in and killed the guy.  he served 6 months for felony assault.

I did not know the guy died, thanks for shedding light on that. I still don't think the statement 'Jay Adams murdered a homosexual' is conclusively correct. I don't care to stick up for him or minimize his involvement, the whole situation sounds fucked and serves as an example of how for much of his life Jay Adams was a bastard of a person. Below is an exerpt from a recent interview where he talks about that incident. I couldn't find any info on who, if anyone, was convicted of the actual killing but hope someone was found accountable and punished accordingly.

At the very least he reformed and that counts for something. Hopefully he helped influence some kids in a more positive way through his work with troubled youth. Most relevant to this topic though are his contributions to skateboarding, which it seems everyone can agree on.

J.Adams:
"The trouble we got into that night had nothing to do with the fact the people we got into a fight with were gay. It was during the Punk Rock days in Hollywood and it was a violent time. We were young, dumb and full of alcohol. We weren?t bashing gays, we were just out to bash anyone who we came in contact with. I?m not proud of that but that?s just how it was for us then."

Yeah i actually feel weird for making that post, i don't want to speak negatively of a guy who just passed away tragically.. especially someone I admire.

He was part of that whole Suicidal crew in Venice, and that's the life they lived.

He kept skating punk as fuck till the end.  RIP Jay

Fuck that shit so wack. So what if he was gay. One quote it has him saying "we saw two homosexuals", how do you know he was specifically gay bashing? It's simply a way of identification. Just the same as describing a black guy or an asian. Now if he said we saw two faggots and beat them up. That's a polar opposite. This is sooo wack, fuck Vice for this article.

I thought it was just bad taste. I know Vice and even other online media outlets are all about shock value but knowing that Jay Adams just died, it's kind of whack for a writer to just write an article to discredit the guy and just to do it to be a douche. Even aside from his personal views, people are more so talking about him as a skateboarder. Letting people focus on that in light of things shouldn't be a problem.

I know this is hard for some of you to believe but not too far in the past everyone bagged on gay people. It was the norm. Not saying it was right but general acceptance of homosexuality is a relatively new concept in this world. Jay or anyone else in that situation would have maybe gotten their ass kicked or even killed for not going along. As I've gotten older I've learned to generally accept anyone who isn't directly harming or affecting me in any negative way regardless of their race, sexual orientation etc. but I guarentee there's not a guy on here my age who hasn't at one time or another in their past ridiculed, made fun of or even just joked about gay people. Unless they happen to be gay that is...

People giving their respects to his passing has nothing to do with promoting his beliefs. Regardless if he took on the role or not, he was very influential in the skate culture. I think that is more or less what people want to remember and acknowledge. No one is saying he's a perfect guy but bringing up his negatives in light of passing just seems kin d of fucked up. Like Dirtymac said above, we've all have had bad intentions one way or another and would want someone to bring it out after they are dead.

Unless they happen to be gay that is...

this is true, and it's actually somewhat relevant.  however let me preface this does not EXCUSE JAY'S PAST VIOLENT ACTIONS.

But yeah, at the time, it was generally acceptable to make fun and humiliate gays.  Hell, even a lot of punk rock/hardcore with it's anti-right/anti-reagan liberal ranting would bash the oppressive christian right and make fun of "faggots" in the same sentence.  In retrospect it was incredibly stupid (and ironic... darby crash?), but it was the norm.

Again, THIS IS NOT MAKING EXCUSES FOR JAY'S PAST VIOLENT ACTIONS, just saying that at certain times and places people's thought process was different. 

Also noticed MOFO was holding it down in the comment section

People giving their respects to his passing has nothing to do with promoting his beliefs. Regardless if he took on the role or not, he was very influential in the skate culture. I think that is more or less what people want to remember and acknowledge. No one is saying he's a perfect guy but bringing up his negatives in light of passing just seems kin d of fucked up. Like Dirtymac said above, we've all have had bad intentions one way or another and would want someone to bring it out after they are dead.

When my boi Luka Magnotta is dead and gone I'll just choose to remember the good. He had a deece cock, a tight haircut and cool taste in music. I won't do him and the gay porn community the disservice of remembering that he raped a dude with a wine bottle after cutting his head off and filmed it on a webcam. We've all wanted to commit necrocanibalistic acts on shy Asian students. Don't you dare hold me accountable for my actions.

Yes because punching some guy in the face a couple times is the same as raping and dismembering a dead body and sending the head to an elementary school. You're a fucking moron. Luka was fucking sick in the head. Jay just wasn't fond of gay people and who wasn't in the 80s AIDS breakout.

I took the flawed logic to an absurd extreme you twat. The point holds. Not all stories have happy endings. We don't need to edit history so that people feel good.

Why does the point hold? Because you say so? Nobody is editing history. REAL fans of Jay Adams know what he did. Most people were just kids that were reposting shit on Instagram and don't have a fucking clue who Jay Adams was.

I know this is hard for some of you to believe but not too far in the past everyone bagged on gay people. It was the norm. Not saying it was right but general acceptance of homosexuality is a relatively new concept in this world. Jay or anyone else in that situation would have maybe gotten their ass kicked or even killed for not going along. As I've gotten older I've learned to generally accept anyone who isn't directly harming or affecting me in any negative way regardless of their race, sexual orientation etc. but I guarentee there's not a guy on here my age who hasn't at one time or another in their past ridiculed, made fun of or even just joked about gay people. Unless they happen to be gay that is...

I met this old born again christian who lynched a black guy once. But I know this is hard for some of you to believe but not too far in the past everyone bagged on black people. It was the norm. Not saying it was right but general acceptance of black people is a relatively new concept in America. The old guy or anyone else in that situation would have maybe gotten their ass kicked or even killed for not going along. As I've gotten older I've learned to generally accept anyone who isn't directly harming or affecting me in any negative way regardless of their race, sexual orientation etc. but I guarentee there's not a guy on here my age who hasn't at one time or another in their past ridiculed, made fun of or even just joked about black people.

Fuck you man, think about what you're saying. And if it still seems reasonable, fuck you.

I don't think Jay was in the spot where he was really trippin on what people said. He seemed to be above that type nonsense That's not what I was insinuating. A lot of time has past since that stuff happened. I am not supporting physical acts of violence, either. I just think it's really bad taste to put out an article like that, especially if I don't think the writer would have said those things in person or written something like that if Jayboy was alive.

What? That gays were less accepted in mainstream society in the late 70's/early 80's?It's a perfectly reasonable and accurate statement. So fuck me I guess.
