Alumni: Return of the King

-The New York Times had a piece today about Jay Adams attempts to turn his life around. You know about Adams if you've seen Dog Town and Z-Boys, or more likely but less-accurately, Lords of Dog Town (where he was played by Emile Hirsch).
-Adams is a pioneer not just of skateboarding technique, but of the rebellious attitude that has lead so many of us to seek refuge in skateboarding, so we hope that the statements he makes in this article prove true. It's a good read for anyone interested in skateboarding and skate history.
-In other skate news, someone we kind of know turned pro yesterday, props to Seattle skateboarding.
