Great telling of the legendary Z-boys

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2006)

I thought this movie was great. It had a great plot, and it was true to what the story really was. The movie had a great selection of actors and actresses, and they played their characters well. The style of skateboarding was interesting too. The tricks such as Ollie's and kick flips weren't invented yet, and skateboards were just small and skinny. The Z-boys relied on style to get good scores in their early competitions. There was some good action too, such as the fist fights. The movie also explained how the Z-boys went their ways. How Tony Alva became world famous quickly, and how Stacy Peralta was the hard working one, and started his own skate company. Overall i give this movie a 9 out of 10.
