Jak’s is a hardcore skateboard team that emerged in the early 80’s when the punk scene was at it’s height. The team is a blend of old school skaters, hardcore punkers and crazy fuckers that skate. In those days not everyone and their dog skated… it was a lifestyle. There are Jaks in several cities on the west coast: Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, and the birthplace Petaluma San Francisco. These cities have spawnednew teams such as the Bopo Boys, Hate City and Team Shiddy.
The team and friends get together every year to have a reunion in the host city of choice. The reunion consists of skateboarding, punk gigs, beer guzzling, and serious shit raising. Every second Saturday in September the Vancouver Jaks put on a skate competition for the local East Van kids to show their stuff. Trophies are made and prizes are donated by Skull Skates, Zulu Records and others. Usually by the end it’s chaos. The first contest was won by Sluggo. He did a rippin’ run and finished with a break dance on his head. 13 years later it’s still as crazy as ever.
To be accepted onto the team, one must have a petition signed by every member of that division. You can recognize a Jak by his colours (jean vest customized to individual). When it’s completed colours are made (or you can go to Vic and party with Knob Schwan and he’ll draw you some up for free). Chances are you’ll catch up to one of the Jaks tearin it up on the street, in a pit, or on stage at the Cobalt. Jaks Team is the name and absolute music is the game!

message from Timmy

forget we exist.
this is my first and last post. attempts to reply or make contact will be ignored.
the jaks are and always will be the most impossible to join most impossible to understand most impossible to recreate most impossible to tolerate skate team to ever exist. absolute music! deny knowing of our existence. ignore those who speak our name. we are us. you are someone else. it will always be so. gang no skate team yes. do not attempt to document our activities or the fact that we occupy the same planet as you. live your life and be happy. skate or don't. it doesn't bother us either way. all we desire is to be ignored. our joy is derived from absolute music. may yours be found where it lay. live your life. ours is separate.
we may love you, we may hate you, we may copulate you. either way, have a nice day.

                                                      Scottie one of the original JaKs of the 90's.
When your on a getaway, lets say something like JaKs Reunion, and you meet a JaK for the first time there is always that moment when you fear he will not accept you. There may be be fist fights, they sometimes snatch your purse, pinch your titties or win your mom over. The first time I met Scottie, it was like meeting a blood brother and I ended up spending the whole reunion surviving with him. He had my back, and I had his and the creator made sure we laughed our heads off the rest of the time!
