“I have a weird history with this movie. When I was a kid, I came across the book adaptation of the movie in a used book store. As a young skateboarder in the early 80s, I enjoyed the book quite a bit. Then to my amazement I caught the movie played on Saturday afternoon television and also enjoyed it quite a bit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThen about 20 years pass and Iu0026#39;ve long outgrown skateboarding, and what do I come across being played on late night TV? Skateboard! I settle in for a nostalgic return to my youth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s obvious that this film had to be mostly improvised by the cast, but to me thatu0026#39;s part of the charm. It definitely feels more like a documentary than feature.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYeah, the skateboarding is completely archaic, but sheesh, this movie is 30 years old. Vert ramps hadnu0026#39;t been invented yet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you get a chance to catch it on late-night TV, I definitely suggest a look.”
