Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com As a time capsule for the 1970s, the picture is tough to beat, presenting a look at feral adolescence and open world skateboarding, going back to an era when the sport was developing, becoming a trend and a source of rebellion at the same time.

Audience Member Low budget pix about a bunch of skateboarding kids,mostly a vehicle for leif garrett who was a big teen idol back then,poor tony alva , a big skateboarding star is relegated to the background. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Part visionary and part dreamer organizes a professional squad of kid skateboarders to tour the California coast in an effort to emerge from his mounting debt. Sad to see corruption enter kid's sports when the financier of the team orders Leif Garrett to take a fall in the final downhill skateboard event. Helpful safety tips are offered at the conclusion of Vista's VHS release. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
