While fast-paced, this film was nothing more than "Jack-Ass" with a Classic Rock soundtrack! LOL! Therein lies the problem with making a film about skateboarding (like golf - I never understood the fascination with it) - 90% of the film has an endless stream of skateboard stunts. While the filmmaker tried to shed some light on their personal lives, the characters still came across as one-dimensional hooligans. The documentary, "Dogtown & Z-boys" was far more interesting. The filmmaker should have built an inner story, as was done in the film, "Gleaming The Cube." All in all: great music, great skateboard stunts, mediocre film.
