The Beginning of Skateboarding : Dogtown & Z Boys
It would be hard for me to do a complete review of this documentary because I could write about it for days. An award winning film by one of it's stars, Stacy Peralta, this brings me back to my very early childhood. Growing up in "Socal" with a few older guys who did skate pretty hard core, skaters like Tony Alva, Jay Adams and Stacy Peralta were iconic. The rock star status of professional skateboarding wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for these guys. They catapulted the career of Tony Hawk who is clearly the most popular skater in the world. I recommend watching this movie, if you have ties that that era, it will definitely bring you back. The soundtrack is awesome too. This also was the basis for the movie now out on DVD The Lords of Dogtown, if you haven't seen that movie, I highly recommend that as well.
