I remember when this movie came out. My town had a huge skate contest. My brother was sponsored at the time. Tony Alva came down and watched the competition. And went and watched Lords of Dogtown with my brother and his team. Watching my brother I grew a passion for the z boys. Jay boy Adam's is always going to be my favorite. Rip to a legend!
As someone who was there....Dogtown during the 70s who went to school surfed and skated with the Zboy crew i can say that Jay was the best skater. He also ripped on a surfboard. Alva was a great surfer...Sarlo...uh
There’s something special about the respect the rest of the Z team has for Peralta that even Alva sticks up for him here as an opponent when they see he gets disqualified when he says what do u mean he tied with me before punching that guy in the face lol Such a lovable movie that only skateboarders can really understand
other interesting cameos in the movie are jay adams, tony hawk ofc, and a bit unexpectedly at the start of the movie mitch hedberg! the standup comedian. i bet tony alva is in there somewhere too.
@@fourshore502 oh 100% is, Alva is in a scene in Jay's mothers house where he is telling her about his plans to buy a farm and grow herb. This is the same scene where Jay is asked to be the face of the "Slinky" in advertisiments.
@@fademusic1980 they would absolutely worship whoever did that hahahah, it’s funny, all it takes is the right person at the right time and boom, legend.
@@fademusic1980 frontside flips came so much easier to me, then fakie frontside flips were my absolutely bread and butter, the way I moved from fakie to regular was just so smooth, backside flips were way harder for me!
Some my not realize but all the characters depicted are old and also make cameo scenes. The cop taking the 1 dollar bill. The duder getting smacked with the orange. Jay and tony at the moms house party. And the dude in the food fight scene.
This movie bums me out every time. It’s depressing as hell for me. It reminds me of skating and the friends I had back in the day with similar outcomes.
all my skate friends went into meth/heroin, feel the pain bro. If you're 30-40, I was told it's the best years to skate. Let's shred pools this year bro.
6:38 Some people dont understand both Péralta and Álva were both chicános and probably laid out a few more pendéjos after this. I love the part in the movie when Jay starts kickin it with the homies, although that doesnt always end well...
Always liked that even though Peralta wasnt on the team Alva still stood up for him saying we tied didn't care about the win just cared that his friend seemed to get the short end of the stick
@@MCF961 you got a point there,I belive tony hawk was like 12 at this time and he rode for them also..i mean Mullen changed the skateboard game as we know it today,but imagine if he started at the same time as powel/Peralta
Anyone who comes out to 'Iron Man' automatically wins the competition in my book.... I don't care if it is skateboarding or the Great British Bake Off.
They were a legendary bunch but this scene doesn't work....The nerd before does a hand stand while riding or rides 2 boards at the time and these kids show up all with 2 tricks no one has seen before and that's it...Director tried making it more exciting with handheld but still, not enough
I hate Chino, he does that to Sid just to be a dick. Skip was just having fun and liked Sid. On a side note Skip was excellent with customer service. That bum wasn't buying anything.
yeah wasn't because he didn't fit into the stereotypical skater at the time, he always made sure safety was a priority and I think in the beginning that was frowned apon.@@iskatevans95
I dont know about hate. street skaters didnt like him and didnt really respect vert skaters. When he came out with his own boards and clothing HAWK which i skated it was seen as poser gear. But everyone respected him as the goat of vert when he busted out that 900. Goats like Mullen hold him in extremely high esteem.@@iskatevans95
All the actors are soo good here, so believable. Great performances from all of them!
“Skip called me bro ! “. Lol
Stacy Peralta is a mad genius. He doesn't get enough credit for the things he's brought to all humanity.
You can see a bit of a prototype Ledger Joker come out at around 7:28 lmao, very cool

6:35 😂🤣 one of the funniest scenes in the movie
There’s something special about the respect the rest of the Z team has for Peralta that even Alva sticks up for him here as an opponent when they see he gets disqualified when he says what do u mean he tied with me before punching that guy in the face lol
Such a lovable movie that only skateboarders can really understand
they all grew up together in dogtown, they knew all knew the value of friends
Exactly❤!
6:11 thats the actual Stacy Peralta bustin out those 360's. What a mad lad.
Niice !!~

This movie was complimentary with the psp I got for christmas
Awwwww that sounds fireeee just like in ur bed watching that shit 😂
Same. With that ATV game as well.
@@aja23136 yes!! It was my Christmas present
Weird reading that on how we grew up
Criinge
That was my favorite scene that Skip brandished that belt. Ten lashes would sound fair...POOTIE TANG STYLE!!!
Jay was doing tricks no one had ever seen before, shame these judges had no appreciation for the future
He didn’t do a single wheelie, he didn’t do a single compulsory trick
In the real competition they actually all scored high because the judges loved it. All the other contestants hated it though
Their little tricks didn't age well, did they?
@@AZ-kr6ffuhhhh what? Yes they did lmao
@@pnut3844able
Nobody does them anymore, so...
I just want to go blow everyone’s mind with an Ollie hahaha
go do a fucking backside flip on the flat and leave them speechless
@@fademusic1980 they would absolutely worship whoever did that hahahah, it’s funny, all it takes is the right person at the right time and boom, legend.

7:34 you can def see the joker coming out in heaths performance
Let's put a smile on that face 🤡

Jay was the innovator
" i thought this was the end of the line "😂😂
Obv statement incoming, but goddamn Ledger is so good in this movie
Did you know that he died some years ago, my son ?
“Skip called me, bro.” “Skip called you bro???” Like she wasn’t standing right there staring at skip.
Lol, he said you look hungry bro
they should make a follow up to this movie, about the bones brigade. it could start pretty much exactly where this movie ends.
This movie bums me out every time. It’s depressing as hell for me. It reminds me of skating and the friends I had back in the day with similar outcomes.
At least you have good memories
@@Thunda1986 Like I said - it bums me out.
all my skate friends went into meth/heroin, feel the pain bro. If you're 30-40, I was told it's the best years to skate. Let's shred pools this year bro.
All my friends who were skateboarders or hung out with the crowd are either dead or on drugs. And it hurts. But the good times we keep. Always.
7:42 "Tony Alva has been disqualified."
6:38 Some people dont understand both Péralta and Álva were both chicános and probably laid out a few more pendéjos after this. I love the part in the movie when Jay starts kickin it with the homies, although that doesnt always end well...

Everytime I see this movie,i always wonder where rodney Mullen is at
Mullen skated for Powel/Peralta. He didn’t exist yet.
@@MCF961 you got a point there,I belive tony hawk was like 12 at this time and he rode for them also..i mean Mullen changed the skateboard game as we know it today,but imagine if he started at the same time as powel/Peralta
This movie takes me back to my California childhood! 🌴☀️🏖
Florida
@@mellowrose9470 long haired dude is stacy peralta who creates powell/peralta after the events in the movie
I forgot how great this movie is.
Rip Heath Ledger
Good ol Heath Ledger lol
Good old dead Ledger
@@pnut3844ableyikes
“I thought this was the end of the line man.” 😂😂😂 still gets me
You look hungry bro 😂😂😂
Greatest movie of all time
This movie came out the year I started skating
Girl you better recognize 😂
6:46 how I should have ended my last job
Rip in peace Jay
First time I noticed out of the many times I've seen this movie, that Jim was the security guard that got beat out of 99$.
Heath ledger does a great TJ miller
Heath Ledger at his finest.
Ce film !
Sorry ,what song is it?
Epic
Anyone who comes out to 'Iron Man' automatically wins the competition in my book.... I don't care if it is skateboarding or the Great British Bake Off.
Emile was so hott in this movie. Idc what anyone says. This is what made him famous
Girl next door was before this and put him on the map
Z-boys to competition "hold my beer"
Could someone explain why Jay got 2nd place when that curly haired dude scored higher but got 3rd place?
2nd place in slalom totally different event not shown in the film.
If Stacy got disqualified for touching the ground and Tony got disqualified for sticking up for him - How did Stacy win and get undisqualified?
Like Stacy is Soo cute
I’m not sure who is more obnoxious, Heath Ledger playing Skip Engblom or the actual Skip Engblom
There goes Cheyenne
Sorry but drama kids trying to act tough is the funniest thing about Hollywood.
Lol i dont even kmow what to call that lol
Jay didn't do what they wanted to do because he invented tricks
They were a legendary bunch but this scene doesn't work....The nerd before does a hand stand while riding or rides 2 boards at the time and these kids show up all with 2 tricks no one has seen before and that's it...Director tried making it more exciting with handheld but still, not enough
Lol calling Ty Page "the nerd" is hilarious.
This was the beginnings of skate
No it wasn't
Wtf they try to disqualify Stacy ???? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I hate Chino, he does that to Sid just to be a dick. Skip was just having fun and liked Sid. On a side note Skip was excellent with customer service. That bum wasn't buying anything.
@pnut3844able trolling the F outta this comment section 🤣 having a bad day little guy?
LOL
"He's hoping up in the air about 3 to 4 inches... I... I don't even know what to call that"
Jesus christ this is all kinds of cringe.
new moves, what do you expect them to know them?
You're right, pal, your insipid comment is all kinds of cringe
Women, he was standing in front of u. How did u not hear that? Learn to listen.
Locals only mf 💯☠️💩
Does anyone else find this annoying.
No. They're kids at the time, remember being 14-17
Nope, only you.
It’s not so much the kids it’s the writing of the movie and the acting. Oh and it’s pretentious as fuck
Absolutamente NO
Nope
Except in the actual compatation adam got 3rd, and tony got 4th. Peggy got 1st in the women's competition
if tony hawk went back to the future and whipped out the 900... everyone there would fall over
dumb comment
Tony was hated back in the day believe it or not. Dudes didn’t like him at all
yeah wasn't because he didn't fit into the stereotypical skater at the time, he always made sure safety was a priority and I think in the beginning that was frowned apon.@@iskatevans95
