Top Movie that captures the 1970's Skateboard Scene

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2005)

I have just watched the special edition version of this film,and i must say being very impressed with the outcome. The only problem is the film really sells out the true skateboarding idea thats its for the surf man,not the money. I found the actors to be at time uncanny in looks true to the original Skateboarders. I really fail to see why go for a PG13 rating after all anyone who was around in the 1970's would be well past 13 by now,and the Skateboard tricks then are unlikely to impress today,so new skat-boarders of today,its not for you. It is clear Stacy has went to try and capture real footage from his last outing onto Hollywood Film,and this is done to great effect. I found myself after watching it once getting radical again.
It don't really matter that it wont win the Oscars,its good fun with some great vintage action,and some great one liners (Grey Beavers!!)
To recap,a real Skateboard film,with some great cameo moments,from the original skateboarders,and a quote to all from a BBC documentary at the time (1979) 'Skaterboarders don't die,they just roll a little slower'
