Now here's a swerve. Recently restored in HD and ready for action, for our next sport we decided to take on skateboarding! This is a movie Randy supported via crowdfunding so we decided to give it a go for our special, despite neither of us having seen it before.
As a result, this movie becomes a time capsule of a specific time and place as well as the sport itself. The movie had to contend with the then-burgeoning hobby of skateboarding into a full on sport and this movie highlights that very transition. That makes looking back on it as interesting as it might be quaint for those used to the more extreme image it would have associated with it decades later. The plot even seems to foreshadow a lot of this.
Despite all that, it's a fun little flick still worth seeing today. Check out the full episode to learn exactly why that might be the case.
Randy's Score: 4/5
