今早传出不幸的消息，Z-Boy最具影响力的人物之一Jay Adams已经离开人世，终年53岁。人们会永远记住这个70年代时的风格滑手，他对滑板的影响会伴随很多滑手成长一生，R.I.P.
TransWorld Skateboarding reporting today that Jay Adams, original Z-Boy and one of the most influential skaters of all time, has passed away at age 53: “You will be missed, Jay, but your impact on skateboarding will be with us forever.”
作为Z-Boy成员之一，Jay也是一名影响力深远的滑手。Stacy Peralta曾把Jay成为世界上风格最自然的滑手。Jay曾经在2012年由Mark Gonz，Peggy Oko和Danny Bearer推选为2012滑板名人堂人物。
来自Thrasher的Stacy Paralta说“我今天一大早收到Alan Sarlo的信息，Alan和Jay等几个人在前往墨西哥冲浪的旅途之中，Alan在短信中说‘Jay今天凌晨1点心脏病发作，不幸身亡’Jay倒在了Alan的怀抱之中。”
“Jay是滑板历史中最重要的推动者之一”Danny Way早在2008年就这么告诉纽约时报的记者“他把无畏的精神带到了滑板之中，而且滑板本身就带有叛逆的性质”。
今年一月Jay Adams刚刚出狱，这也是他自1999年来第一次不被保释出狱，Westside的人们说，他从那之后就开始在学校，在各种滑板活动之中告诉大家他所做的错误选择，希望大家不要重蹈覆辙。
“朋克里总包含着无知与暴力，酗酒让我做出错误举动，我希望现在的孩子不要重走我的路。”Adams告诉大家

"I received a text very early this morning from Alan Sarlo who is in Mexico on a surf trip with Jay and some others," fellow skater Stacy Paralta wrote for Thrasher Magazine. "In the text Alan said Jay had died of a massive heart attack at 1am this morning. Alan was apparently holding Jay in his arms as he passed."
As an original Z-Boy, Jay is considered one of the most influential skateboarders of all time. Stacy Peralta has called Jay, “the world’s greatest natural skater.” Adams was inducted into the 2012 Skateboarding Hall of Fame and honored by his peers and fellow recipients Mark Gonzalez, Peggy Oki, and Danny Bearer. TransWorld Skateboarding interviewed Adams last year about his recent 35-year anniversary pool board with Z-Flex bearing the iconic Jay Adams graphic, which has endured to become the longest running graphic in skateboarding history.
