This site is dedicated to Tony Alva and Jay Adams, members of the original Zephyr Skateboard Team.
Jay Adams is my age and like me, he also grew up in a broken home. Both of us have spent the better part of the last 35 years trying new and clever methods of self destructing and otherwise sabotaging lives that should have lived up to their amazing potentials. When Jay was learning how to skateboard in the early 70's, I was learning how to play Frisbee and by the time I began to hear murmurs of a disc based team sport by the late 70's, I was ready to step on the field and start playing but little did I realize that I as also stepping into decades of frustration.
After watching the movie Dog Town and Z-Boys in 2002 about the birth of modern day skateboarding and how these kids went against the conventional thinking of the day and ended up revolutionizing their sport, I set out to understand why the same natural and disruptive evolutionary mutation never occurred within the Ultimate Frisbee community. The end result was the creation of Dischoops, the greatest team sport created in over a century.
