    I remember reading Skateboarder magazine in the 70’s and being so intrigued. This documentary fills in all the history that me, as an east coast boy, never really understood. Such an awesome documentary that I have already watched about 15 times! And love, respect and RIP to Jay Adams - he might have been troubled at times in his live, but what an amazing person!
  • Excellent, Informative, Simply Cool!!!

    This documentary truly represents the birth of extreme! It gives you an honest look at the Z-boys, drop-out prone kids who eventually made it big in the world of skateboarding, thereby influencing extreme sports forever! Depicts reckless behavior like spraying graffiti over walls, but that's what it was about for them as outcasts! It gives you a look at skateboarding before it became a multi-million dollar industry, a look at the pioneers known as the Zephyr skate team!
  • Awesome movie!

    There was a time when all my friends and I, living in landlocked suburban Atlanta, GA...lived and breathed skateboards. As badass as we thought we were no one could touch the boys from Venice. They were the stars...our heroes who graced the pages of SKATEBOADER Magazine. An awesome entity in itself straight out of So-Cal. Every month we'd run to our mailbox to see if the next issue had arrived yet...only to mimmick the exploits of our biggest idols...the Dogtown boys. This film emboddies so much about the 70's and 80's skate culture...a must have for anyone interested in skateboard history.
  • Awsome Documentary
