Skateboarding legend Jay Adams s sudden and unexpected death at the
age of fifty-three shocked the world. Media outlets including the
New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, the Hollywood Reporter,
ESPN, MTV, the Telegraph, and People magazine to name only a few,
paid tribute to Jay Adams; the broad coverage he received speaks to
the immense influence Adams had on the sport of skateboarding and
the subsequent culture he helped grow and shape. Universe is
pleased to bring back into print the little-known book of
photographs of Jay Adams s earliest days as a surfer and
skateboarder, taken by his stepfather Kent Sherwood. Sherwood is
directly responsible for unleashing Adams s talent on the world: he
introduced Adams at a very young age to surfing and skateboarding.
Sherwood, a self-taught photographer, began shooting the young Jay
Adams at play, surfing, and skating with his friends, including
Tony Alva, Wentzle Ruml, and Shogo Kubo, among others. Jay Boy is
an endearing, intimate look at the gifted Adams and his friends,
and includes sweet and revealing thoughts about his past, written
in his own hand before he passed away. It is certain to appeal to
any fan of skateboarding.

The definitive monograph of Glen E. Friedman, a pioneer of skate,
punk, and hip-hop photography, including much
never-before-published work. Glen E. Friedman is best known for his
work capturing and promoting rebellion in his portraits of artists
such as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, The
Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., and Public Enemy, as
well as classic skateboarding originators such as Tony Alva, Jay
Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta, and a
very young Tony Hawk. Designed in association with celebrated
street and graphic artist Shepard Fairey, this monograph captures
the most important and influential underground heroes of
skateboarding, punk, and hip-hop cultures. My Rules is an
unprecedented window into the three most significant
countercultures of the last quarter of the twentieth century, and
Friedman's photographs define those important movements that he
helped shape. A remarkable chronicle and a primer about the origins
of radical street cultures, My Rules is also a statement of
artistic inspiration for those influenced by these countercultures.
