Had many doubts before viewing, but was surprisingly pleased.

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2005)

OK, yes this is very similar to the documentary "Dogtown & Z-Boys", however it dives into the story deeper on many levels. For example in the doc you get the idea that Jay Adams had a rough upbringing, but it is never mentioned as to why. Lords explains that situation in a little more detail. I guess it helps to be a skater at least at some point in your life, ICG wrote a great story on the making of the film, which I found very very interesting. I love Powell- Peratla Skateboards, grew up riding them. I also think that Stacy is one of the greatest filmmakers today, and any film that he has something to do with, weather its directing, or writing, or something else, I will check it out, even Police Academy 4, o-yea thats right.
