		Alva, Adams, Biniak, Jim Muir, and I were skating the Devonshire pool deep in the San Fernando Valley.
		In fact, the reason I mention Caballero and Hosoi in the same breath as Alva and Adams is because these four skaters have something that very few possess: they skate with the least amount of resistance.
		Jay Adams is probably not the greatest skater of all time, but I can say without fear of being wrong that he is clearly the archetype of modern-day skateboarding.

		Alva, the leader of the Dogtown boys, the former World Champion, the godfather of urban skate-punks who transformed skateboarding from a sport of short little muscular dudes doing nose wheelies into the minor religion that it is today.
		In Mexico, where Adams, Alva, and several other Dogtowners had traveled to attend the opening of a new skatepark, the kids who had once emulated their favorite Australian surf heroes now began to resemble rock stars.

		The rest of the old county, extending all the way to Kansas, was to be renamed "Adams" County, as in the previous bills, with Brighton as its county seat, pending an election to choose the permanent one.
		Adam County can legitimately be considered the direct successor to old Arapahoe County, first formed in 1855, since it comprised what was left over after the City and County of Denver and South Arapahoe County were cut out.
		The first three Commissioners of Adams County were Fred P. Watts, who had been formerly elected as Arapahoe County Commissioner from the Brighton district, and John Benbow and Wilson R. Smith, both appointed by the current governor of Colorado, J.B. Orman.

		It is the speed of it all that highlights the changes in the trio of friends because it seems that almost instantaneously they have turned from the closest of kin, to three independent riders, each blinded by their own goals.
		Alva's rash decision-making comes to a climax when he almost sacrifices his career for the chance to hit an opponent, severely damaging his left eye.
		Alva becomes blinded by fame and the better life he believes it will bring, while Adams shows a darker side, releasing his anger violently, not only because he realizes the world he has been sucked into, but because he is frustrated at his dead-beat, partying mother and the man who left her.

		It was named for the elder Alva's cousin William H. "Billy" Adams, whose long career in politics began when he was elected Alamosa town treasurer at age 22.

		Aerials, Alva recounts, came from surviving, from hitting the pool's lip so hard that eventually he was popping out of the pool and grabbing his board in the air.
		In the mid-'70s, Adams and Alva were a step ahead of everyone, pioneers of skating's hardcore approach to life in general.

		In a community known for gangs, violence, prostitution, poverty and worse, the Zephyr skateboarding team is a dream come true for many of these kids, a way to stay out of trouble while expressing their athletically driven artistic talents.
		Nicknamed Z-Boys, the team’s leaders are unquestionably Adams, Alva and Peralta, each turning the sport up on its ear with every surf-inspired twist, turn and gravity-defying leap into the air.
		These sequences sparkle and sing with eccentric energy; Alva, Adams and Peralta perfecting signature moves and techniques in venues taken over by the skaters like they were beaches made to be conquered.

	Zap2it.com - Movie review - Lords of Dogtown
		In shorthand, Alva (Victor Rasuk) is the rock star, Adams (Emile Hirsch) the rebel and Peralta (John Robins) the wallflower.
		The skating in "Z-Boys" mesmerized, and Hardwicke, a Venice resident, and her cinematographer, Elliot Davis, re-create it well here, capturing the beauty of a long, clear hill, the friction of a sharp turn and the promise of a drained pool.
		It's drama enough, really, but then there's this: Alva's never good enough for his father, Adams' single mom is a bum, and Peralta can't keep his girl -- Tony's sister Kathy -- satisfied.

		This thinly fictionalized account of the rise of skateboarding is built around the sportâs first ârock starâ heroes: Jay Adams, Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta.
		Alva apparently never outgrew his adolescent attitude problems.
		(He is also a filmmaker and wrote the screenplay for this movie.) Adams did jail time for drugs and never really cashed in on his fame, although many credit him with inventing a lot of the maneuvers used today.

		We get little insight into Peralta's family situation but he is shown to be a responsible, industrious kid with a good head on his shoulders and his personality is the least changed by the end of the film.
		Both Adams' and Alva have tumultuous home lives; Adams is thrust into being the family's breadwinner for his dissolute mother, and Alva's father is shown to be abusive to the skater and his sister.
		Barsuk hits all the right poses as the flamboyant Alva, the rock star of the trio, who is obsessed with both getting out from under his father's abusive thumb and fulfilling his demand that he not end up a ditch-digger.
