Nickname: Flyin Skeleton

Birthday: July 12th, same day as Julius Ceaser

Home: Wherever there is water in the southeast but mostly Locust Fork, AL

Favorite Shred Ready helmet and color: Shaggy with lime green flames

Describe the time you were most glad that you were wearing your helmet:
I came down Gorilla and tried to to catch the eddy after the notch. I missed the eddy while trying to use the paddle to push into it. I fell off the waterfall backwards and upside down. I landed on the back of my head and it made me smash my face on the front of the boat which broke my nose. It gave me a severe concussion. At the bottom of the drop I heard Charlie Beavers tell everyone "He's cut, he's cut"

What person do you respect the most? My friend Jake. He goes down the rivers with us and he has no legs. He does not use any excuses of why he can not go down the river. He is very happy to be able to do something like kayaking.

Who is your hero? I have many heros.
Lance Armstrong (surviving cancer and 6 time champion)
Opie Taylor (having to eat bean pies)
Most of all the people like Pablo Perez, Chuck Kern, Charlie Beavers, Dave Norell, Rick Weiss, and Brennan Guth who died doing what they loved the most or dies while living the lifestyle they loved most.

What movies/books/comics/TV shows, etc are you into right now? I love Sportscenter and any college basketball, kicking ass at Connect Four

What are you listening to these days? Swollen Members, 311, Jurassic Five, Atmosphere, Blind Melon, Sublime

What was the best concert you attended? 311 with the coolest chick ever

What are some things that motivate you? Trust fund babies going all over the world when I have been paddling for eighteen years and dream of going to some of these places. My friends and I talking trash to each other.

What sports do you enjoy watching or participating in besides your main sport? I love watching and playing basketball. H-o-r-s-e anytime someone wants to play BRING IT! I am in the southeast so I love college football. ROLL TIDE! I enjoy watching snowboarding and surfing, I think we can take alot from how those sports are organized and have made it to the level that they have.

What's the most fun you've ever had while participating in your sport?North Alabama Whitewater Festival (NAWFEST.COM) It was a dream of mine since I was a small kid and with the help of Surface Dynamics and Alabama Small Boats it came true. There is nothing like watching 50 people one after another either go big or eat shit off a twenty foot waterfall.

Every day is the most fun I have ever had kayaking but if i had to pick one it would surfing Dries with Nick and throwing Air Blunts at the same exact time.

What's the best trip you've ever been on? Canada with Nick

What goals are you working towards right now? Making the 2006 World Freestyle Kayaking Team, gathering footage and finishing our first Production Video from Rainmore Productions titled "Kuntry Fried Kayakin", my new personal website (JeremyAdkins.com)and the world's first TRICKIONARY (freestyle trick dictionairy), making the North Alabama Whitewater Festival the best festival and competiton in the nation, getting my own instruction business on the ground (Kayakclinics.com), and continually pushing kayaking in the southeast and especially Alabama.

When people look at your life, how would you like to be remembered? Someone that makes people laugh and would give the shirt off his back if you needed it.

What do you view as your biggest accomplishment? Having so many great friends that kayak and having so many that have passed away that I share great memories with.

What advice do you have for other people coming up in your sport? Never stop believing, Persistance pays off.

One sentence that describes your life: "No Worries"
