I've been trying to collect all the good old skate movies. Any good skate movies I don't know about, or may have forgot about over the years. Please share.
Feel free to add to the list.
- Skateboard - Thrashin - Gleaming The Cube - Lords Of Dogtown -
I think you're talking about mainstream movies that featured skateboarding, not skate videos. In that case, "Police Academy 4," "Freddy Got Fingered," "Skateistan," and probably some others.
If you're talking skate videos a lot of people missed "Sick Boys" back in the day; it's on Youtube. The commentator goes in and out of failing his once-through, so that sucks, but it's also sort of funny, and the street skating is solid.
I watched "Stoked The Rise And Fall Of Gator" last night. What a douche, we never liked him around here because of the fad style, so I never thought to watch the movie back in 02' But damn that story is messed up.
I got blasted for saying this a few years ago, but I stand by it. When it comes to the trouble guys like Gator, Hosoi, Adams, and many others found themselves in, I believe Stacy deserves credit for coaching his guys both in skating and in life. I belive that Stacy, seeing what happened with the guys he skated with, knew that he needed to help his young skaters navigate fame and fortune.
As far as the movies go, the docs in a certain order kind of tell the history of skating, even though they are all told from a biased point of view, and most focusing on one skater.
Not if you live in Australia or New Zealand SK8ER. The Hardcore(Globe) bros' pumped Ralph and Gregor Rankine more than a brothel is when a US warship is in town!
There are a lot of things that children grasp from the shows and movies they watch. My kids started skating after they saw one of the series by Andrew Yeatman online. I felt very happy about it because when I used to tell them to scared they were scared but after watching, the kids do that, they did it on their own.
