the documentary was better

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2007)

I think this movie should have flashed "inspired by true events" every half hour to remind the viewer that it was LOOSELY based. If you want a really cool experience you should watch Dogtown & Z-Boys!!!!!!
I did think it was cool that so many of the actual people involved in making skateboarding what it is made cameos throughout the movie. And Tony Alva actually does skate doubles for his character---that's pretty rockin'!!
All in all I wasn't completely disappointed, I just wish it would have focused a little more--it jumped around a lot, and I think it helped that I had seen the documentary as a background first.
