The Lords of Dogtown
- Thread starter arboc!
- Start date
i think it will be pretty cool. It's hollywoods interpritation of the documentary, but still it should be good. The santa monica pier stuff was all filmed in Imperial Beach. It was amazing how they recreated the entire old abandoned amusment park.
on a side note. if you're into the skate movies then check out the Gator documentary. It was very interesting. Crazy to see what fame can do to people.

Actually hosoi got popped transporting poundage of meth to hawaii, He must have been up for about a year to think he could get 1 1/2 pounds of meth into the state after he already had a record for that kind of sh*t. he's out though I hear and ripping it up again... At least he is out and trying toget his **** straight, fingers crossed for another addict on the come back road.

Homeboy's riding the first deck I have seen in years with rails.
All of those movies were low-budget, quickie affairs affairs trying to capitalize on the "Skateboarding" craze in the 80's. If I am not mistaken, Gleaming The Cube had Christian Slater chasing after bad guys who kidnapped his girlfriend on his skateboard.pnj said:
I am sure Lords of Dogtown will have all the trappings of a 2000 teenage movie: good soundtrack, fancy camera angles, Playboy-quality babes, and subtle product placement.
But the people involved behind the scenes have made their bones in Indie Film: the director made "Thirteen", the guy who plays Tony Alva was the title character in "Raising Victor Vargas", and of course, Stacy Peralta made the successful documentary which this movie is based on.
I expect this to be a great film. One huge advantage for any story based on real life is that if the real story was dramatic and engaging, all you need to do is to follow it exactly.
Its gunna be pretty cool, my friends bro was a stuntman for the skating, he said it was super fun! He said they made pools just to ride in
i used to skate, it was fun, but i hated staying on concrete.
I treid to skate but the only thing that resulted was my bum being sore
Is skating still cool like it was a few years ago? I haven't seen as many pre pubescents carrying a skate board everywhere they go as if it were diamond encrusted lately. I thought the fad was headed for another downward swing.
Maybe it's reigonal. I've moved around a bit over the last couple years, I definately see fewer skateboards in So Cal than I did in Utah.
i think the treand is turning towards biking, more bmx than mtb, but kids over 13 are geting mtbs more and more.
In whistler it is the 3rd sport. Boarders, skate, skiers bikeKornphlake said:
...thats the theory anyways hahaI will go see it. Looks like a good flick.
speaking of new movies, i want to see "on the pipe", an mx freeride film.
Crap. It's crap. Like Phantom of the opera movie. Crap Crap Crap
Heath Ledger doesn't know how to skate. It would be like making a movie about Steve Peat and casting Val Kilmer. It's crap.
that avatar of yours is so damn hysterical...dirtjumpP.1 said:
That theory works here too. Maybe it's a Canadian thing. We proudly boast the largest outdoor skate park in north America, and one of the largest indoor ones - or at least the last time I checked it was something like thatRoasted said:In whistler it is the 3rd sport. Boarders, skate, skiers bike
Boys and girls on skateboards EVERYWHERE! Even some old school ones kicking around. Definitely still popular here.
