Jay Adams Biography
Jay Adams is one of the most popular and richest Skateboarder who was born on February 3, 1961 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Original member of the Z-Boys skateboarding team who is considered to be one of the most influential skateboarders ever.
Emile Hirsch portrayed him in the 2005 film Lords of Dogtown.
In 1974 at age 13, Adams became the youngest member to join the Santa Monica-based Zephyr surf team, known to locals as Dogtown, representing Jeff Ho Surfboards and Zephyr Productions. Fellow Z-Boy Tony Alva said of Adams, “Some kids are born and raised on graham crackers and milk; he was born and raised on surfing and skateboarding.”
Much of Adams’ and the rest of the Zephyr team’s fame is due to photo-journalist and writer Craig Stecyk’s “Dogtown Chronicles” in the 1975 relaunch of Skateboarder Magazine. The series of magazine articles chronicled the adventures of the Z-Boys, who rode empty swimming pools in Southern California over a two-year period, laying the foundation for vertical skateboarding. The international reach of Stecyk’s Dogtown articles and skateboard-industry sponsorship led to skateboarding becoming a viable profession. By age 15, Adams was one of the first skateboarders shown “catching air” (time spent in the air after launching) above the edge of a swimming pool.
He had a daughter named Venice with his first wife, Alisha Adams.

In the late 1990s, after the murder of his brother, and the death of his mother, father, and grandmother all in the same year, he began using heroin. He was serving two-and-a-half years on drug charges in Hawaii during the production of Dogtown and Z-Boys and was released in 2002. The movie brought Adams back into the limelight and led to endorsement deals for him.
Adams is featured prominently in the 2001 Peralta-directed documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys. Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan noted his contribution to the film: “Dogtown is at its dramatic best with mini-profiles of its two biggest names, Adams and Tony Alva. The Adams segment especially, which shows the most naturally gifted of the Z-Boys regretful about the bad choices he made in his life, provides the kind of thoughtful introspection this film could have used a lot more of.” The documentary won awards at Sundance and an Independent Spirit Award.

The Z-Boys became a skate team when they heard about the Bahne-Cadillac Del Mar Nationals in 1975. Adams was the first member to enter the competition, held in Del Mar, California, taking second place in the Junior Men’s Freestyle. His explosive energy and low, bold, surf-like moves characterized the style of the Z-Boys and contrasted with the traditional style of the era, which was still based around gymnastic-style tricks formulated in the 1960s. Adams’ ability to turn near-disasters into never-before-seen feats of style and agility was termed “an athletic stream-of-consciousness” by the 2001 documentary about the team, Dogtown and Z-Boys.
As of 2005, Adams was drug-free and spoke to children at local schools about his past struggles. Nonetheless, in November 2005, he was arrested and sentenced to four years, after being caught on a wiretap acting as a go-between for a buyer and seller of crystal methamphetamine. He was released to a halfway house on July 8, 2008 for the remainder of his sentence. He completed his probation in January 2014.
