• Addicted to adrenaline, skaters live it to death.
Clockwise from top left: The only skaters to be called
legends by two generations are Jay Adams and Tony Alva.
Jayboy edges Gonzo's and wall drops accordingly. When the
'90s hit, vert got dogged. Hitters like Gator suffered the back-
lash. Frustrated and confused by the media, he killed his girl-
friend and got 25 to life. TA getting "Tony Bluetile" in the late
seventies. Classic frontside air at Doris' in 1983.
