It's more about a small-scale cultural revolution and how it was catalyxed by a bunch of kids from broken homes that were adopted by a surfboard maker than it is about skateboarding tricks. After sitting through it spellbound, all I could say was "Whoa!", I wish I made that! I'm a surfer and like the big, cold waves of the Washington coast but some of the footage in this doc made my nether regions contract. The B&W photography was really stunning too.

It chronicles the birth of the hardcore skateboarding scene in Santa Monica, CA in the 70s. Mixed with vintage stills and film footage are recent interviews with the participants. I'm not into skateboarding but it totally sucked me in. Which is what any good documentary should do. Highly recommended. It's now out on DVD so get down to the local Blockbuster and check it out. Then you'll want a 12mm CV lens for that M6.
