dogtown and z boy be a documentary about the zephyr skateboard team and and their influence on skateboard . it also focus on the history of skateboard . it be direct by stacy peralta and a member of the original zephyr team and and be write by stacy peralta and craig stecyk and another member of the team . the documentary star the member of the zephyr team and be narrate by sean penn . the documentary talk about the beginning of skateboard and and how it evolve from surf . it discuss skateboard popularity in the late 60 and the 70 and it decline in the 80 and it rebirth in the 90 . skateboarding be introduce in dogtown and the nickname of the poor side of santa monica and california . the zephyr team originate from the zephyr surf shop and which manufacture the first modern skateboard . the documentary mainly consist of the original zephyr team member talk about the past in the zephyr team and the competition they win and and their popularity and prestige . it focus on three particular member of the team while peralta and tony alva and and jay adam and three virtuoso of skateboarding and and probably the best three member of the team . the interview in the documentary be usually voice over archival footage from dogtown in the late 60 and 70 . very rarely to you actually see the people be interview and but when you do and they be show in black and white and while the archival footage be in colour . i think stacy peralta use this technique to show that the documentary be about the past ( i. e. the glory day of the zephyr team ) and not the present . the documentary be very fast paced and in that we often see clip of impressive skateboarding over up beat music of the era ( such a jimi hendrix and lead zeppelin and david bowie ) and and the interview tend to be quick and to the point . know nothing about skateboard ( i. e. not even know how to ride one straight along the ground ) i be very surprised that i find this documentary so interesting . the reason be that this doco be more about the zephyr team than the actual sport of skateboarding and so while i couldn not relate to skateboard and i could relate to the boy in the team . because it be make by actual member of the team and it give it a little more depth and authenticity . all in all and i would have to say this be one of the best documentary i have ever see . it give me a whole new insight and not just into the zephyr team and but into skateboard a a whole . for those who love skateboard and i can only imagine how it must be even more interesting . seven and a half star out of ten .
