![]() Lords of Dogtown - Unrated Extended Cut $24.95 Based on the true story of the legendary Z-Boys - three teenage surfers from Venice Beach who took skateboarding to the extreme and changed the world of sports forever. ![]() Grind $9.98 I had never seen this movie before i bought it for my girlfriend because she said she used to watch it when she was younger all the time. It was pretty funny. There was alot of skateboarding in it of course, but you can probably guess that just from looking at the cover. I would definetely compare it to "out cold" only instead of snowboarding obviously, the main action comes from skateboarding. Not the funniest movie in the world, but made me laugh quite a bit. ![]() Lords of Dogtown $14.94 WOW WOW WOW is all I have to say about this film! It portrayed a piece of Americana history so accurately and convincingly, it could have passed as a documentary (OK- not really, but you get the point). I'm 48 now, but I can clearly remember the skateboarding scene back in the 70's, since my brother and I were afficionados. Even back in the NYC area and Jersey, skateboarding caught on bigtime because of the media attention brought on by skate giants like Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. I can remember the many skateboard shops that opened up, even in music/head shops or bicycle shops as a 'side business'. We then even built our own 'half pipes' in our backyards, and ate up every issue of 'Skateboarder' magazine. We found out where skateboard parks opened up, and had our parents drive us there (before we were old enough to get a driver's license). We pored over, and debated about Bahne, G&S, Alva, and Banzai boards. Ditto regarding which wheels and trucks were the best (I liked Bennett, Tracker, Red Rider, Green Alligator, and Bonez). I digress. Anywho, major kudos to all involved in making this highly entertaining film, and thank you for transporting us back to that era and subculture! GREAT JOB! ![]() Lords of Dogtown $13.98 I love this cd it has so many great songs on it if you are thinking about buying it GET IT!!! |
