sk8ordie?, I totally agree with you regarding Adams' involvement in the hate crime. That's terrible and I absolutely don't condone it at all.
Arguably the only way you could consider him a hero is for what he--and the Dogtown crew--did for skateboarding in the 1970s, transforming it from a moribund hodad pasttime into something that was genuinely cutting-edge and exciting.
That's all I'm saying.

Hi Theo I have an issue,
"newly re-risen hero"? I don't care how legendary Adams is. He was an instigator in a horrendous hate crime. I guess people change, so sure let him go to the X Games. But please don't call him a hero.
