The Legend: Adam Colton
Adam Colton is arguably the one of biggest figures in Longboarding. He is a master at Dancing, Sliding, Downhill, Photography, Video Filming, Editing, and Directing. Starting off as a skateboarder, he met his future partner in crime, Adam Stokowski. Adam started longboarding and worked for Longboard Larry. While working for Larry, he started directing and filming skate videos with Adam Stokowski like “Skating To Sunshine” and “Longboarding Adams’ Style.” After a few years, Adam moved onto Loaded Longboards and created iconic videos like “Whirling Dervishes” and “The Loaded Dancer.”
With the creation of both his skate videos and “The Loaded Challenge,” Colton helped create the list of tricks that have become the foundation of longboard dancing.
And as if his dancing wasn’t amazing enough, he is also amazing at ripping it down a hill. Alot of the people in the longboarding community never had a chance to see what Adam could do if he was put down a hill and when he posted this little video, it created quite a stir.

I was lucky enough to meet him personally in Santa Monica on National Skate Day and he is 1000x more amazing in real life than in his videos. He’s one of the smoothest skaters and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. If you’re a skater in Santa Monica, keep your eyes peeled for a man with funky facial hair and a dancer and it might be the legend himself.
