 Great Movie to Watch June 22, 2010
Diaspora Chic (Silver Spring, MD)
Although I am not into skating, I like this movie. Watching it makes you wonder how did a pastime activity become a competetive sport? Skateboarding for these young men was a pastime, a chance to get away from family pressure and trauma. When the big companies stepped in, that is when became a competition breaking up friendships and putting some of the small shops out of business. "Lords of Dogtown" is a fun, yet insightful movie to watch.

Lords of Dogtown review March 30, 2010
John Sliney (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)
A very good film about how skateboarding evolved. Good writing. Good acting. Just good filmaking.

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!
