I skated with a few of those cats on the regular. There used to be a skatepark at the end of the Marina Del Rey freeway and guys from the Venice/Mar Vista/Santa Monica area used to come over and skate. I'd bus it over from View Park to do my thing. The flick was great and reminded me how old I am...

I hated it. It looked sounded and felt like a damn infomercial.
Important subject, crap film.
That surfing footage where they're coming in with all the debris dotting the water was ill as hell, though.

d21: THAT IS AN AWESOME FILM!!!!! I really enjoyed it from every minute, from the early days in Venice area and those kids doing the crazy tricks, busting into people backyard' swimming pools to skate in when they weren't home, and all the later stuff. that one guy, who had the drug troubles, that was so sad to hear him talk about that.
jl: you used to live in view park? blair hills right here, after my family left the so. central spot in 72. wow. back when i was a teen, there were not but a half dozen kids who even owned skateboards, and the school banned them from skating on the campus. so they'd wait til after hours and climb over the fence, i heard.
hey d21: what lame ass last year film do you mean? i didnt know there was another film about their story. i only saw Dogtown/ZBoys back when it was in some of the little independent theaters out here years back.

Yep, Slauson and Angeles Vista. We used to skate the pool at the Jet Inn Motel just west of the WitchStand on Slauson (before it became the health food joint). Also used to skate at Windsor Hills and 54th street elementary schools - nice smooth banked asphalt. I was prob part of those 1/2 dozen kids you saw, I knew all the brothas that skated in the area. There were actually quite a few of us in the early 80's who used to get down - and there were a lot of empty pools in the Windsor Hills/View Park/Baldwin Hills area. We stayed outta of Ladera though, folks were pretty serious about calling the sheriffs out if they caught you in their empty pool. Ahh, the good 'ol days...

Rosenda:
The other Dogtown film that was directed by a girl (a woman actually,also the director/co-writer of THIRTEEN) which is a silly,immature thing to say, kaiser,and has NOTHING to do with the quality of any movie---to be fair,I haven't seen either one---is called THE LORDS OF DOGTOWN---it's a film about the skaters profiled in DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS. I didn't understand why the movie was even made considering the doc was already out there,but that's just me thinking that. It should be available on DVD by now.

Dude I really dont think my comment about a Female director is inaccurate, childish, or immature.
It is actually very valid.
You shouldn't comment until you watch the fucking movie.
Get Shorty was good(except they made an ass out of the black guy).
Penny Marshal did that.

Yeah I can watch this documentary over and over - I think I've seen it almost 10 times...! The guy with the drug problems was Jay Adams - the one I met about 15-16 years back... His' is a cautionary tale to be sure...
And coollikethat answered your question perfectly...
