Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2005)

well were do i start this is a movie about skaters + surfers contain some gnarly waves + good skate scenes . although this mainly focuses on Stacey Peralta (mainly because he wrote it)but it does contains some facts + not just made up stuff . i really liked it because it has a good story + some really fit people which is always a plus=) . basically its shows how skateboarding has changed + how not everyones stays the same + that fame + money can sidetrack people from the fun of skateboarding.it starts off with some people who are friends that surf but when the waves aren't fit to ride they skate. the local surf shop starts a team with them they all go to a freestyle competition all but Peralta who wasn't picked for the team. Stacey goes to the competition with no sponsor + wins because tony ( on the zephyr surf shop team ) would have won but he had a fight with the judge so Stacey scoops up first prize. after his good performance skip (head of zephyr team) decides to put him on the team. after a while their team becomes famous and local tycoon takes on tony (part of zephyr)and tony gets fame + money + deserts the team one by one something happens to all the team until only Stacey is left Stacey then goes on to be big . at the biggest competition yet Stacey + tony go head to head but Stacey wins in the end one of their friends from zephyr gets a brain tumour + they all realise that they shouldn't of forgot why they started skating but he ends up dieing.
