(february 3, 1961 - august 14, 2014)

it is with deep sadness that we say goodbye today to "the original seed", jay boy adams. the definitive spark of radical skateboarding and as history will remember him, the most influential skateboarder of all time.

we have lost the man but a legend has been born.

our thoughts and prayers are with jay's family and friends. 

long live jay boy! 100% skateboarder! rip in peace.
