The documentary forgets to account for a national recession and ballooning insurance premiums for the parks in the decline in skateboarding. It wasn't just bad park and equipment design that killed off skateboarding in the early 80s.

Oh no, this is terrible!! So sorry. You need to start a go fund me. I will look for you when you come to my home town St. Louis!!

Top tier documentary

Hey, we've got some important info about the money we lost and how to get it back.

Definitely a classic surfing vid. You know the crowds are bad a Noosa when you have to fly to the opposite side of the planet to get wave to yourself ... LOL 🤟 " I know it's a silly exercise to test the human spirit with struggle, but I believe it is in these moments that we get to explore the very essence of who we are ! " Confucius could not have crafted a better saying than that.

This is such a good movie I hope it inspires kids to skate like Dogtown and Z-Boys inspired me to

Anyone wanna share their funniest timber theft stories. Mine was 10 sheets of ply on the roof rack and we didn't tie it down properly so the minute i touched the brakes they all flew forward. We just stared in shock as they flew down hill all over the road. We managed to retrieve all them before a neighbour came out.

Stacy is such an awesome human, the epitome of let’s be friends ….. forever

Zero trans kids in this video. What a disappointment 😢

i watched this film about a year ago and i started to skate vert and then bought a powell deck and now im better at vert than street😭

Watched this on Amazon last year. It's such a great documentary. All this happened before I was born up until I was super young so getting a long detailed account of what happened was awesome. I knew bits and pieces, but this filled in the gaps!

My first "real" Board was The Brigade Caballero with the red dragon on it. Damn i was so proud. This was 23 years ago, and appart from an 11 year break, im still rocking today 🙂

Yo

rodney "the mutt"mullen is THE BEST SKATEBOARDER of the fucking all times!forever and ever..... end of the fucking history.

skating late 80 and 90th in germany. What would life have been without? These guys an many others were like figures from a myth. extremely influential. in artclass 6th grade we turned our classroom into a skatehome, painting every detail of decks on the walls. Anybody knows the therm "skatebettie"? today sounds weird. videos were giving such an incredible feelingkicking tricks higher every time watching them. Pain was happiness hahaha

I can attest there were better skaters at the "Jungleland" abandoned wild safari park in Thousand Oaks, CA. There were pools for seals, etc. for the abandoned amusement park. We brought in shovels, brooms, boom boxes, spray paint, and metal saws to cut rebar off the pool walls. Yes, we had all the magazines of skaters in LA. Sorry dudes, Jungleland skaters were better.

Rodney Mullen, what a sweetheart, and SOOO far outside the box of whatever anyone had ever thought of, he was playing 4d chess from the very beginning

I rode freestyle BMX and was never "into" skating, but the Bones Brigade and their videos were the BEST entertainment in the extreme sports category. I watched Future Primitive 100's of times. Playing GOOD music like Agent Orange, Black Flag, DK, etc.... the skate scene delivered on all levels.

epic

Those who know, know but this movie means so much to me. I've been lucky enough to meet and ride with so many of the uncles of skating and for that I am greatful

I want to say thank you.. and this doc.. was so beautiful.. thank you..........

Rodney Mullen 👑

The Cortez bank is so mesmerizing and equally terrifying

I was skating during this time. Skating brought freedom, mobility and a means of self-expression. It was an escape from the ills of life as a teen. I rode a Hawk with Rat Bones wheels. I had big feet and that deck fit. I had all these magazines plastered over my walls. It was a great time. Alone or with friends kept us out of real trouble. I had a small mobile ramp and would put it on my deck and roll it to a friends house so we could do tricks. Sprained ankles and on crutches I rode that ramp. My mom didn't even bother because she knew I was going to skate anyway. I can't imagine this time in my life without skating, Powell Peralta and the Bones Brigade. Thanks guys. You made lives better.

I just moved to Costa Mesa--spent July 4th at Newport. I saw the statue and am presently working on a song for Ben. Exactly like Joe Delaney, there is nothing more touching than someone dying the way he did. Brings me to tears, just like Joe Delaney.

What's sad is Rodney Mullen is the best skateboarder out of all these guys but the only thing that Ronnie black was being able to promote him .... We had no Flair he was hard to market..... Tony Hawks very easy to market etc .

What we do? If we being sabotaged? Help we are brothers

I like the treebonk and the scoot

Well done

Dogtown zboys were def first pioneers of skateboarding but bones brigade skaters took it to next level of what skateboarding is today!

No disrespect to anyone but tony alva def started first ollie when he came out of the pools they skated back in day!

That was so great to watch. Brought many tears to my eyes, and really shed a light on a lot of things I missed as a young teen in the 80's Bones Brigade for life!!! If George and Stacey can patch things up... you can too.. reach out to someone you've cut ties with. It's not always worth it.

1:07:40 I love this comment so much when they talk about Rodney’s level. “Getting second to him was like getting first” because they knew nobody had his skill. Rodney is such a kind hearted legend

Wow! Great film!

This makes skateboard sound gay

What fuckin editor decided a black screen with skating sounds was the move??? So stupid lmao

Great documentary. Very well done. Nice to see people giving it another look (its from 2012).

Rodney svu c k s s

Bummer that Steadham didn't get much recognition & on the Powell site that still sells his board they say that Steadham regrets his decision to quit the team to this day.

Animal Chin is amazing. The retrospective embarrassment over it is lame.

Growing up and Surfing HB. I crossed paths with Lisa both in the water and out. She is a down to earth genuine person. HB back in the day was very territorial. Lisa didnt give a Sh*t she charged. Congrats on your success. I hope life has given you the peace you deserve.👍🤙

Tall l bc

Only thing you need to know about being around this dude is how to not have a heart attack

Go mt view cougars

Half way thru and this movie giving me the chills and making me miss old times so bad....also making me hate tf out Dyrdek lmao😂

the lack of belief that Lance has in himself still, is heartbreaking ... dude was a rad rider, mate had a Mountain board I had a Cab Dragon we all loved his riding. Rodney is like a wise sage.

Eighties was best time to be a teenager dirtbag
