April 83 - Jay Adams
After watching the whole Dogtown movement explained fairly thouroughly on film, this ad is pretty fascinating. Jay was made out to have turned out to be this hardened gang-banging type, a real vato loco... while this photo, shows him quite humble and unitimidating...in fact he's sporting a Powell and Peralta board (Peralta, as in Stacy Peralta, and Jay went way back if you recall the folklore).... intresting.
Skateboarding can/may make you edgy, aggressive and dangerous seeming, but at the end of the day it's a skateboard, and you'll a guy riding a board, not shooting or looting.
