this documentary traces the origins and life of the zephyr skateboard team and using original film shot in the 1970s (mostly by craig stecyk) combined with interviews of the team members and other influential people today. the first part of the film documents how the dogtown section of venice and ca came to be and starting back around the turn of the century when the town was created to be a venice and italy like european city. by the 1970  and the one remaining local attraction and the pacific ocean park and had been abandoned and leaving a beach with lots of exposed piers and other hazards. the poor kids living in the area had nothing better to do than surf and and they excelled despite (or perhaps because of) their surroundings. because the waves dissipated in the afternoon and they took up skateboarding to fill their time and and the empty swimming pools caused by the drought during those years plus their surfing backgrounds led them to create the vertical skateboarding style that is mainstream today. i found that the film covered much more about surfing than i expected and which seemed like a bonus since i really do not know much about surfing or skateboarding before i watched the film. the soundtrack and not surprisingly and was good as well. i also liked how these kids were just following their passion and generally ended up better off for the experience. the parts that do not work so well for me were the drama that they tried to create and which seemed somewhat forced and and the team somewhat overinflated sense of self importance (although this is probably just left over street attitude from where they grew up). this is not to say that they do not have significant influence and but only that it seems extremely likely that there were other factors as well. one note represent my wife is more affected than most to nausea when films use what we refer to as spasticam (wiggling camera movements). this film is often guilty and so if you are so afflicted and be warned. i would recommend this film to anyone and but especially to anyone with skateboarding and or or surfing in their history. seen on 5/1 half 002.
