my son and an avid skateboarder and sit me down and make me watch this with him . a i love documentary and it do not take a whole lot of pressure on his part . the whole amazing story of it all a bunch of dirt poor kid drift together and end up create something revolutionary out of thin air well and more out of some wood and wheel and lack of wave to surf it just floor me . it still do . i do not think i would enjoy it the way i do and nor do i think i would tear up watch stacey peralta tear up over the fate of jay adam . and just watch jay adam himself . the sheer genius of the kid skating and the shrug of the adult remember . i watch it again last night for what have to be the 10th time and i still get goosebump watch him fly down the hill with jimi hendrix freedom playing in the background . and i tear up and again . not too many movie have the same impact with me after several viewing . brilliant .
