my mixed feelings about jason adams

He also listens to Rancid which is a big no no in my book, but I'm willing to overlook that
(and he'd probably cringe at a lot of bands I listen to)

What's wrong with listening to Rancid? They've put out some solid music

my beef is more with Tim “the groomer” Armstrong than their actual musical output …

Damn that raw footage was so sick. Hadn't seen that before. So fired up to skate after watching that. Makes me wanna get a stetson too

I unfollowed him back in 207-18 when he was on his Trump bender. I hope Biden is taking care of all his wants and needs. Stoked he's sober and skating. We all loved The Kid growing up. His stencil artwork is out of this world!!

I knew it. Why are all the rockabilly dudes MAGA zombies?

Their subculture fetishizes white fashion and aesthetics from a pre-civil rights America. That always makes me suss on rockabilly people.

[radcunt]

Absolutely loathe rockabilly dogshit but back The Kid. He rips and seems cool.

The amount of bullshit he’s doing with his arms in here is disturbing

Like most skaters, he uses his arms to balance. he aint faking the funk like a lot of guys out there.

I remember when I used to skip his bag of suck part, but now its one of my favorites in the video. With age comes wisdom.

Its called balancing. Try it sometime

I guess I j know how to balance without looking like a fucking mime

he skates fast as fuck and you don't. it's not complicated.
anyways, the kid rips. stoked he's sober and doing well.
this footage is lovely:

jason adams is sick. had his DuFFS Gambler shoes way back, solid shoe, kinda ahead of its time

absolutely. I remember my friends making fun of me for wearing them because they were unlike other shoes at the time.

Jason Adams rips. Skating to the devil went down to Georgia and pulling it off is a boss move.

[Allen.]

Big fan but he is definitely feeling himself on those roll aways

none of you were riding for jason adams when i was doing bonelesses on banks with my stupid six gun deck stop pretending like youre down now

[cky enthusiast]

ohhhh i always liked chet childress. you're all fucking liars

[SatanicPanic]

I just now realized that “punk point” is a play on words

[Burt Ward]

Jason Adams not being a MAGA chud was the good news I needed today. Jason rules.

[Banned from the room]

I back the kid. All the homies do. We fucking love his stencil art too.

way better nickname then "the kid"

[dirtywork81]

I'm backing the Kid. He did his own thing, skated how he wanted to skate, looks like he has fun skating. Who cares what music he likes or doesn't like.

Are we talking about Jadams?

Love how he rages and throws his board over lame ass layback slappy grinds

[Frank]

his bag of suck part is so awesome. so many cool tricks. this one line in that bowl with the deepend backtail that ends with that invert transfer over the spine. i don't even know the name of that shit.

he always had a bit stiff upper body steez, but to me he made up with hauling ass. he made manuals look gnarly. i agree he anticipated modern streetskating in a way, with all the wallriding, manualing into or out of tricks, ride on shit, all while hauling ass and looking a little too out of control for comfort.
