Review of Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002) by John R — 09 Nov 2004
In the late 1960s, a group of burnt out teenagers from broken homes ambled together and began to surf along Venice, California's Pacific Ocean Park pier, a ghostly shell of a former amusement park nicknamed "Dogtown." United by their attention to style and willingness to take risks, this group of unruly boys were handpicked and nurtured by maverick surfboard designer Jeff Ho, who christened them the Zephyr surf team (or Z-boys). Originally taking up skateboarding as a distraction for the non-surfing hours, the team ended up revolutionizing what was to become an internationally popular sport, using emptied out pools to create a surf-inspired style that was fluid and vertical and ultimately made them legends.
What I think.
Well as a skater I love this movie seeing hawk and steve caband the other team members back is the day is cool as a film it works well ,but if your looking for a good skate vid that makes you what to skate you'll be disappointed I t's not I have a problem with old school or anything but there's to make talking to satify as a skate vid but as a film I found it entertaining and well done if you have no clue about anything skating youll still found something you like ,worth a watch.
