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.

he was a legend in skateboarding. RIP
