Skateboarding Reviews - Videos & DVDs

I wish I could resist films like this. Thankfully I didn't waste money in a theater to see it, but I'm drawn to crappy concept films - especially when skateboarding is the theme. It just seems as if such a flick should be good, and therefore will be. Even when sprinkled with a few good looking girls, the concept fails. Hollywood just doesn't understand street culture. To them, skateboarding and the circus are one in the same. Ugh!

This sort of group image kind of says it all: "We suck and so does this movie".

While the rest of his high school graduating class is heading to college, skateboarder Eric Rivers (MIKE VOGEL) and his best friends, Dustin (ADAM BRODY), a goal-oriented workaholic, and misfit slacker Matt (VINCE VIELUF) have one last summer roadtrip together to follow their dream of getting noticed by the professional skateboarding world - and getting paid to skate.

When skating legend Jimmy Wilson's (JASON LONDON) skate demo tour hits town, the boys figure that as soon as he sees their fierce tricks, he'll sign them up for his renowned skate team immediately. Unfortunately, the guys are intercepted by Jimmy's road manager (DAVE FOLEY) and they can't get their foot in the door, much less their boards. But they do get some free advice: keep skating, stay true to yourself, and stay in the game - if you're good, you'll get noticed.

Following their dream - and Jimmy's national tour - Eric, Dustin and Matt start their own skate team, reluctantly sponsored by Dustin and his college fund. After recruiting laid-back ladies man Sweet Lou (JOEY KERN) to join their crew and provide the wheels for their tour, team "Super Duper" launches the ride of their lives in an outrageous road trip from Chi-town to Santa Monica.

Filming Locations: Los Angeles, Santa Monica Beach and Santa Monica.

Thinking back on this flick... were these chicks even in the thing? If they were, they were eminently forgetable - which is a shame when a movie experience leaves me so devoid of feeling. Even putting porn star Sunrise Adams in the mix didn't register. Hey, it could have been worse. At the end of it, though, I felt glad.
