“Ok I know this film is old, but who cares? Letu0026#39;s get that out of the way, itu0026#39;s old itu0026#39;s old itu0026#39;s old. I donu0026#39;t care if itu0026#39;s old. I was 13 1/2 when this movie came out, and I know a lot of people even my age (27) would consider this a dated u0026quot;old schoolu0026quot; movie, but like I said, I donu0026#39;t care, itu0026#39;s still fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was a middle school skater in the very late u0026#39;80s, and this film brings back great memories. Ok the fashions got old by like 1991, but again who cares? Forget the fashions and just concentrate on the skateboard stunts, theyu0026#39;ll blow you away. Legendary skater Tony Hawk is in this film, and everyone who was or is a skater knows how valuable Hawk was to skateboarding. These days I see a lot of teenagers skateboarding in parking lots and malls, it seems the trend has come back since being dormant since 1990. Even though the skating fad died down then, I was still skating as a teenager into around 1995. It was uncool to be a 19 or 20 year old skating back in the heyday of grunge, but once a skater, always a skater. Many times when I see these kids skating today, I want to haul my old 27 year old butt out there and show them how us 13 and 14 year olds did it back in 1989.”
