With this new Z-Flex skateboard, Jay had the opportunity to work with one of the most legendary board builders of our time, Professor Paul Schmitt. Together, Jay and Paul designed a board with the shape and function that Jay\u00a0had always wanted. The result is a board that oozes style and screams with aggression. This is a board you should really get your hands on.

In 1976, as skateboarding transformed from a clean-cut upright sport and onto the streets where style was king, Z-Flex was founded. As skaters began to defy gravity, Z-Flex was there \u2013 designing and innovating \u2013 letting riders become whoever they were going to be with the goal of defining a sport. Decades later, Z-Flex is still connected to the spirit of those early years \u2013 \u00a0and still committed to skateboarding and its impact. Today we aim to connect with generations that are driven by the same desires for collective growth. It\u2019s not about nostalgia.\u00a0 It\u2019s about reinforcing the timeless and unique message of skateboarding.\u00a0 For more information, visit <span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zflex.com\/\">www.zflex.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/105254494\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Jay Adams Memorial Paddle Out and Skate Session<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/47285585\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Aaron Scott and Jay Adams go through the streets of Dogtown and remember what was and will always be POP.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/RIP-jay-Blogimage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47777\" src=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/RIP-jay-Blogimage.jpg\" alt=\"RIP Jay Adams\" width=\"598\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/RIP-jay-Blogimage.jpg 598w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/RIP-jay-Blogimage-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout his life, Jay Adams always rode boards that were designed for him by other people, which did not hinder his natural ability to become one of the best to ever ride a skateboard.
