I can’t believe I haven’t watched his movie until now. Lords of Dogtown is quite an interesting movie, and maybe even more so for a skateboarder. The movies is based on the Z-boys who are often credited with popularizing skateboarding and the skateboarding culture. The Z-Boys perfect their style in the empty swimming pools of unsuspecting suburban homeowners, and turned skateboarding into a more “vertical” sport than it was at that time. They became pioneers in the sport and eventually legends.
Aside from the little history lesson, the movie itself was pretty interesting too, and well-acted by some actors you may have heard of — Emile Hirsch, Rebecca De Mornay, Michael Angarano, Johnny Knoxville, and Heath Ledger.
If you haven’t seen Lords of Dogtown and you are a skateboarder, or if you’re just interested in a little skateboarding history, I urge you to pick up a copy of Lords of Dogtown and watch it.
