Dogtown and Z-Boys
(2001)

Buy it, rent it, just watch it!
If you have ever been, has a friend, or a kid that is or was into skating at one time, then watch this flick!. I have seen it several times and I get something new out of it every time that I see it. It reminded me of why I got into skating in the first place (a long time ago) . It reminded me of what skating brings to a person and I have found will also help a person who doesn't understand why skaters, well, skate. Sure there is a very dark side to the whole seen, which the movie does touch on slightly. But it tends to focus more on what is at the core of skating. Just a person on a board, doing it because they love to do it. This movie was so inspirational to me that I'm now skating once again (I'm 32) and I haven't been this happy with my self in years….. Give this one a go, you will not be disappointed.

Just watch it
I'm not going to commit on the movie in whole, if you want to know what it's about then read any one of the other reviews. All I can say is watch it, this type of stuff does happen and if your into beat downs the slaughter that happens in the park when some poor guy finds out the number reason why not to talk smack to a group of teens holding skates in their hands, *although unbelievable* is one of the best that I have ever seen.

Just watch it, it will have you thinking when it's over.

*(come on, you got about 7 trash talking aggressive skaters each with big pieces of wood with metal trucks on each end, does trying to act like a bad ass sound like a good idea to you?)
