I know this isn’t new or anything, but I love this interview that Slap did with Jason Adams. In it, Adams talks about switching sponsors, feeding his kids, and what it’s like to still be in the game at the age of 34. Here, Adams talks about where his signature “just go faster” style came from:

From the start, I knew I didn’t really have the talent to do what was going on at the time. I’m coming up and there’s guys like Guy Mariano and Jason Lee doing their thing, and I knew I couldn’t really tré flip like that so I decided to try to do this other thing—and do it faster.

Interesting guy. Also, I know I’ve pushed this “Best of” before, but if you ain’t seen it, please click this ish. Then leave a 20 in the tip jar. Danke.

I just bought an iPhone recently and, having skipped the whole video iPod thing, it’s serving as my introduction to the world of video PodCasts.

Needless to say, I’ve been downloading skate PodCasts like a fool, and I recently stumbled across this Black Label tribute to Jason Adams. I think I watched it when they first posted it on their website, but this time when I really watched it closely, it pretty much blew my mind.

You just can’t say enough about how hard, fast and aggressively this guy skates. He’s from the John Cardiel school of being able to make any simple trick look mind-blowingly cool, just based on how much speed they have and how hard they stomp the landings.

I’ve watched it at least 10 times in the past two days. Great choice of music too. Makes you want to run around and punch things.

Or just go skate … whatever works for you.
