Jason Adams #20.



Jason returned to the Black Label in 2007 after a few years of riding for enjoi. During that time away, he filmed an all time classic of a part in an all time classic of a video.

The picture is by Dan Zaslavsky.

That’s his rail chomper part. I just watched it again and The Kid is so good. I actually missed out on Label Kills when it came out so I haven’t really seen it beyond a couple parts on YouTube.

I like his part in Blackout, the Label video from 2003.

My opinion is that Bag of Suck is the best skate video ever so that’s why I favor his enjoi part. Also I put a lot of stuff on here in chronological order and try to give date references whenever possible to help with keeping track of skate history. This was his first ad back on the Label.

Yes, you're right. Bag of suck really is a great skatevideo and Jasons part was something special back then. In 2006 there weren't many slappys in videos and somehow it opened some peoples eyes for stylish skating with another approach. More the Danny Sargent way, raw and fast. I think he also had a few good tricks in Label Live, the tour video. I remember the Black Label team was in my hometown in germany around 2003 or so. But unfortunately Jason had left the tour previous to that stop, because of a massive swellbow...Black Label was the only american skate team at that time, that had stops in eastern germany. Good Times...

That's a bummer Jason had to cut out early. I've always been a fan of his skating.
