Amazing
I loved this film! It follows the passions and dreams of a group of boys in a skateboard team. When they win competions and get signed by the big names,friendships and the reasons they started in the first place are threatened. Don't see this if your only interested in Jonny Knoxville or Tony Hawks though cause they only have cameos.I left the cinema with a sudden urge to go and buy a skateboard. This film is cool.

One for your list
I’m a 52 year old local government administrator with virtually no interest in skateboarding, and I tend to be a little intolerant of my 12 year old son’s liking for the Extreme Sports Channel. This film, about the birth of the modern sport of skateboarding, was definitely not designed for the likes of me. Yet I found it held my attention from start to finish and I would recommend it to anyone who knows next to nothing about skateboarding (or skating, as my son tells me I should call it, because skating is called blading). It’s entertaining and also technically brilliant, as demonstrated in the fascinating “making of” extra item. Part of the film’s strength lies in the fact that some of the key real life people portrayed in the film were directly involved in the film’s making.
Now just because I liked it, you kids out there shouldn’t go thinking you’ll hate it. Just do as I tell you and put it on your list now! -

Hirsch was wowed by the 19 year old's talent after working with her in Sean Penn's 2007 adventure movie Into The Wild, and couldn't help but recommend her to his Lords of Dogtown collaborator Hardwicke while she made plans to bring Twilight to the big screen. Hirsch tells OKMagazine.com, "I was gushing about her. I think shes so... Read more
