Watched this around Christmas on Netflix and it did not disappoint. I grew up watching these guys and watching this is a trip down memory lane. Rodney Mullen will blow your mind when he talks, dude is a genius aside from that he made technical street skating what it is today. I remember seeing him sometime in the 80's, damn I wish i still had the hat he signed. This video has appeal to non-skaters too as it explains the marketing that made skating explode to another level. My wife even enjoyed some of it.

I don't think people realize how much skating is an outlet for so many things, personal, artistic and musical.

I am gonna have to check this out. Mullen is my favorite skater of all time.

I see its from the same crew who did Dogtown and Z Boys. i'm sure this one will be good too!

Mrs. G and I watched this over the holidays as well, and I would strongly second Kevin's comments. If you are of a certain age and had anything to do with skating in the 80's, this is just super enjoyable.

I don't think it works as well, film-wise, as Dogtown and Z Boys or Riding Giants, but it's still fantastic.

Wow! Each video was so good.

Cab is modern day renaissance man - he just turned 50 and still skates, rides Moto, great artist, car geek, and can play bass with a lot of good bands. His kids skate and race BMX too.

And Vallelly - only in Jersey would that happen.

I wasn't a hardcore skater but very glad I got to experience it during the mid to late 80's. Lots of characters (aka kooks) and good times back then.

Glad you enjoyed them, Don. The vallely stories were great because he turned into a badass and obviously did not start that way
