Ritual commencement for Al Partanen’s “Spirit Animals” series. Skateboarding, drugs, tits and booze… The perfect combination for a Satanic skate jam in the lonely desert!

Jake Johnson recently spent some time in Malmö, Sweden where he hooked up with rider Pontus Alv. They shot this little film based around a DIY pole jam they made together.
The ‘Masters’ of skateboarding are the pioneers of the sport, the skaters who paved the way for skateboarding today, and the skaters that are still out there ripping 20+ years later. There’s only one ‘Master’ that we could possibly start this series with, and that’s the original seed of skateboarding himself, Jay Adams, in collaboration with the legendary skateboard craftsman, Paul Schmitt.
Jay and Paul worked hand in hand in creating a unique board for Jay’s style to help him skate better than he’s ever skated before.
This graphic was conceived of and themed by Jay Adams, and was created using reference photos supplied by Jay. ?The theme revolves around Jay pulling his “Zipperhead” open, and allowing parts of his life to be shown in the escaping smoke.
The final product is a board fit for Jay coming in at 9 3/8” wide X 33 ¼” long and a 15” wheelbase.
“Jay skated with such a unique and amazing style… this board is what he believed would ride the best for his style… I wish he was here to see how much everyone is going to be stoked on his design.” – Tracy Adams
Proceeds from the sales of this board will go directly to Jay’s family. RIP Jay Boy.
