Lords of Dogtown

[Brent]

From a guy who was skating at the time (I'm 43 now), the documentary was good - in that it tied up all these loose ends that I lost contact with about 1982-3. All the "whatever happened to that guy" questions - that sort of thing. Along with generally revisiting being 12 years old.

Stacy P was one of very few who could have written & produced it. The only other person who could have managed it would be Craig Steyck.
Check out his writing & photography if you're interested in that era, and the deeper influences the DT thing then created in mainstream "youth" culture right up to the present day.

just talking to an old cat in venice, claimed to be running with Jay and Stacy and the rest at that time, he said it did not go down like that at all....sugared it up for Hollywood ya know.

but I guess a movie about doing drugs, and selling em, and ripping shiz off, and vandalism wouldn't be as hip.

shut it

Lords of Dogtown was a fictional film but had elements of the birth of skateboarding. Dogtown and Z-boys is heading more toward the truth. Watch that.
