[quote]Jay Adams -- a legendary skater who was portrayed by Emile Hirsch in "Lords of Dogtown" -- has died of a heart attack ... TMZ has learned
Sources connected with the skater tell TMZ ... he died late Thursday of an apparent heart attack in Mexico.
We're told Adams was there with his wife and the 2 were on a long surfing holiday. They had been there for 3 months.
Family sources tell us ... the 53-year-old has been sober for months and had no history of heart problems.
This was the first time in 20 years Adams was allowed to leave the U.S. He had been in and out of jail since the '80s on various felony drug charges.

Not a good year for celebs you mean.
Without him and the rest of the Z-boys, skateboarding would be nothing like it is today.

Celebrities die every year.
I watched the Dogtown and Z-boys Documentary when I was a kid. It's why I'll always have a skateboard around. [video=youtube;Lpaw__fOOtA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpaw__fOOtA[/video]
