JASON ADAMS

Jason Adams checks in from his studio in San Jose for my first in person interview since the pandemic. Really stoked on this one although my mic had some issues,(but who needs to hear me talk anyways). Listen to Jason talk about growing up in San Jose, meeting Salman Agah and discovering skateboarding, early days of Think and becoming pro, living with Tim Brauch, getting named ‘The Kid’ by Corey OBrien, his epic route 66 trip, Slappy hour and his art, and so much more.
