Skateboard is the implausible but engaging story of the LA Wheels, a 'professional' team of adolescents traveling the skateboard circuit (who knew there was one?). Allen Garfield plays their mentor and manager, and he is surprisingly effective as the desperate Manny Blum who needs cash to pay off gangster Antony Carbone. Kathleen Lloyd provides a touch of class as his assistant coach and the kids of the skate team seem to be having fun. An excellent family film that goes out of its way to eschew profanity, Skateboard has a happy ending for everyone, including the hoodlum.

If you're into skating then you gotta see this
pvollan7 January 2006
This movie is worth watching when there's skating on screen; too bad there's isn't more of it. Most of the screen time is taken up with the stupid, predictable plot, and I, too, found myself thinking that the stupid dialouge must have been improvised, plus I can't figure out how they managed to make 35mm film look so bad. Manny reminds me of the park owner from Kiss meets the Phantom, a fat loser frantically running around trying to figure out what's cool and then cash in on it. Perhaps more beer or bad behavior from the kids would improve this movie, too.
It's worth watching this just to spot Tony Alva (I can't believe he's in this turkey) and to see what skaters looked like in 1977. This movie was already a curiosity when I taped it off TV in the 80s.

Iconic 70's skateboarding movie
wrxsti544 October 2021
A low rent LA promoter Manny (Alan Garfield) latches onto a bunch of hotshot teenage skaters and turns them into a traveling skateboard demonstration roadshow entering lots of skating competitions to pay a debt back to Sol (Antony Carbone) his mobster type investor.
This is definitely a B movie with stilted acting and weak plot line but it is a fascinating piece of 1970's history chronicling for the first time on film the dramatic rise of the skateboarding craze. It features some of the early real life icons of skating only in their late teens who helped build the sport: Tony Alva, Richard van Der Wyk and Ellen O'Neill along with some excellent footage of skating in deep empty pools that was the forerunner to the big pipes that became a feature of the sport from the 80's on. The skating tricks pulled in the skater boys and throw in 15 year old Leif Garrett who was on the cusp of major stardom as blond eye candy for teen girls (actually Garrett did all his own skating stunts) and the movie wasn't a complete box office flop.
Anyone who grew up in the 70s is going to love the bell bottom jeans, big collared shirts, the proliferation of green and brown styles and short shorts. It also features cameos from WKRP Cincinnati star Gordon Jump and famous Hollywood 50s and 60s icon Orson Bean.

Skatebored

"Skateboard" is a late-70's exploitation movie so bad it cannot be saved. The film centers on an unkempt schlub, a beefy deadbeat named Manny (bald on top but shaggy on the sides) who is attacked by a random troupe of street youths on skateboards. (Isn't that always the way?) Manny scolds the punks and then gets a phone call from his bookie, to whom he owes mucho dinero. Manny, the brain-lame slob, as played by Allen (Goorwitz) Garfield, has to think of a quick lie to stall his threatening shylock.
"I'm going after the youth market," he says, at which point the bookie parrots the sentence back in question form.
"Yeah, the youth market," says Manny, bluffing, "I'm going to start a skateboard team." You've just heard the movie's most memorable dialogue. Manny's understanding bookie gives him an extension... a new due date for the debt which happens to coincide with the "Skateboarding Championships," an event which Manny, at this point in the film, has no idea exists. Ain't it a small world? Manny then recruits (or maybe kidnaps, as these children don't seem to have parents) the dead-end street kids who are so prevalent in films of this era. Like the bastard children of "The Bad News Bears" or the crude campers from "Meatballs," these early-adolescents drink, smoke, and curse from furry heads of hair and heavy-lidded eyes. Professional skateboarding was in its infancy at the time of the film, and the "stunts" that the kids do are so lame you'll be humiliated FOR them. Handstands on skateboards? A traffic-cone slalom in a high school gymnasium? Stepping the board end-over-end for the "Walking The Dog" trick? Skateboard Downhill Racing?!? We're asked to believe that people will pay good money to see such inanity, because the fans come out in droves, cheering on these semi-determined hobbyists with a fervor found only at the seventh game of the World Series and, maybe sometimes, the Superbowl.
The film is not as exciting as I've described it, shot in a care-less documentary style in which the director does not even bother to set up shots. Characters wander in and out of the frame at random... everything is shot in a long master and there is zero coverage- no intercutting or close-ups... and the camera does not move at all. But where the film is truly awful is the lead performance of Allen Garfield. I considered myself a fan of this overlooked actor before I saw this film. His unmistakable apathy disgusted me... he just didn't care. I also don't believe that there was ever a finished script for this film, since most of the dialogue is clearly improvised; it is not only repetitive and overlapping, it is too astoundingly stupid to have been planned beforehand. Bad enough but Mr. Garfield takes it to the next level.
The Manny character does most of the talking in the film, which in Garfield's hands becomes neurotic, ineffectual, repetitive, stream-of-conscious babble. I wish I could describe it better but it defies organized thought. He yells at the children constantly, who ignore him as if he weren't there, and he responds to all exchanges by muttering under his breath and bitching like an old crank. He is also so self-indulgent in his grousing that you'd think he was unaware he was being filmed. By the predictable finale I didn't sympathize with him- I hated him. One of the characters- in what I had to believe was an unscripted, improv'd exchange- actually tells Allen to shut his mouth so that someone else can get a word in. Are you starting to imagine how bad this really is?
In conclusion "Skateboard" is a movie so bad it's bewildering, and there is nothing here for anyone to enjoy. You can either trust a man who is able to find good in almost *every* bad movie or you can experience it for yourself; please remember you've been warned. If you really want to be depressed just consider the fact that I spent more time and effort on reviewing this film than anyone involved did making the actual movie. Goodnight, folks.

Lowbudget fun
stargeek9916 September 2006
I have a weird history with this movie. When I was a kid, I came across the book adaptation of the movie in a used book store. As a young skateboarder in the early 80s, I enjoyed the book quite a bit. Then to my amazement I caught the movie played on Saturday afternoon television and also enjoyed it quite a bit.
Then about 20 years pass and I've long outgrown skateboarding, and what do I come across being played on late night TV? Skateboard! I settle in for a nostalgic return to my youth.
It's obvious that this film had to be mostly improvised by the cast, but to me that's part of the charm. It definitely feels more like a documentary than feature.
Yeah, the skateboarding is completely archaic, but sheesh, this movie is 30 years old. Vert ramps hadn't been invented yet.
If you get a chance to catch it on late-night TV, I definitely suggest a look.

Pleasant enough but not great; skateboarders had talent
vchimpanzee23 August 2005
Manny is in debt to Sol, among others, and he has to come up with an idea to make money quickly. Earlier, he nearly ran into some kids who were skateboarding in the road. When he sees one of them outside his window, he pitches the idea of a skateboarding team to Sol, who reluctantly accepts this chance to get his money back and then some.
Manny knows nothing about skateboarding. He doesn't even realize there are already teams, and as talented as the kids are, it's hard to believe at first anyone will pay money to see them.
A number of problems get in the way of the team's success. One is the need for someone to supervise them, like a parent. So Millicent is hired. Of course, as often happens in sports movies, one of the kids thinks he is too good to follow the rules. Later, the events really look like something worth seeing.
I didn't see anything here approaching good acting, but Manny, Millicent and the kids were all easy enough to like. Manny was certainly funny because he was such a loser. And the kids certainly had talent on skateboards if nothing else. The situation was hard to believe but was executed well enough.
I seriously question any reference to this being a 'family' movie. The sound went out a number of times, and other times it sounded like words had been substituted, and while tame by today's standards, the sex talk seemed pretty frank.
If you're not looking to use your brain and if your expectations are not high, I suppose this was a pleasant enough film.

Skateboarding cash cow
bkoganbing6 January 2015
The phenomenon of skateboarding which blossomed in the 70s gets a look in this G rated film about a down and out promoter who sees a bunch of kids doing their skateboard thing and turns them into a team. Allen Garfield stars as the promoter who gets to like the kids no matter how much he first sees them as just a cash cow.
Garfield's probably a decent enough guy under ordinary circumstances and considering what he does for a living. But these times aren't ordinary, Garfield is into Anthony Carbone for some bucks and then borrows some bigger bucks to promote the team. The leg breakers will be paying him a call if he doesn't succeed.
Which explains the pressures he puts on the kids to win although they don't understand it. Neither does Kathleen Lloyd, team nurse and guardian and all around confidante to Garfield though he levels with her.
Leif Garrett who was on the cusp of bubblegum stardom plays one of the kids and Garfield's eventual savior. The rest of the players are skateboarders first and barely handled the dialog.
Still it's skateboarding and Leif Garrett that people paid to see and Skateboard gives them their money's worth.

Roll, Roll, Roll
skullislandsurferdotcom31 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
For a mainstream 1970's flick, SKATEBOARD sticks firmly to the exploitation style of spontaneous direction, freestyle dialog, and capricious plot line. And although billed as a Leif Garret vehicle, the bulk belongs to character-actor Allen Garfield as a tubby, struggling talent agent who owes big bucks to a dangerous bookie so, after discovering a group of wayward teenage skateboarders, Manny starts a hopeful team that travels in a decapitated bus doing borderline minstrel shows disguised as freestyle competitions.
While Garrett meanders in the background as one of the younger skaters, too shy to really take chances, the true hotshots are real life rollers Richard Van der Wyk, Tony Alva and Ellen O'Neal. And while the trio skate better than act, there's something genuine in the deadpan deliveries: after all, it's their territory more than Garfield who, with a constantly frantic bicker, seems more part of a low-rent gangster flick than skateboarding propaganda: which this needed more action shots of.
But Manny's a likable antihero, especially after Kathleen Lloyd joins the ranks as the chaperon/nurse. Although scenes where Manny attempts talking ingénue Pam Kenneally from sleeping with Van der Wyk seem a bit creepy, he eventually becomes the endearing sloppy uncle as the team climbs to the final competition where – after the star skater drops out – it's up to underdog Garrett to win a do-or-die downhill race, providing more suspense in the buildup than the real thing.

Oh The 70's
ronaldsteele-544672 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
First off I'll admit that I sat through this just to see Kathleen Lloyd in a movie other than "The Car" released the previous year. I also say that anyone who grew up during the 70's would remember the skateboard/roller skating fads. This movie however does in my opinion very little for the skateboard sport. I have watched a few skateboard movie's and the others I say definitely had better plotlines.
You quickly get tired and Manny (Allen Garfield) blabbing throughout the entire movie. None of the other cast really had a chance or get a chance to say anything cause Manny (Garfield) is running his mouth. I don't know what others see in this movie except a few decent skateboard scenes, if that's the reason they applaud this movie then they do have crappy taste in movies. Lied Garrett who was gaining popularity at the time would shoot it international stardom for his music. His career would crash and burn after "The Outsiders" from 1983 as for the rest i never heard of them. Tony Alva does have a small role as has Gordon Jump.
Now about the movie itself, to me it just doesn't do justice for the skateboard sport at all. It feels more like a documentary than a movie and again Allen Garfield running his mouth constantly gets annoying. Except for the few scenes where they actually have skateboarding looks amateurish at most. It's the laughable plot that I feel kill's this movie. A guy (promotor) is in deep with a bookie and uses the skateboarders to make fast cash.
Gleaming The Cube is a lot better and enjoyable even Thrashing is better than this. Save yourself the time and pain and skip this one as I repeat the storyline stinks and A. Garfield blabs throughout the movie. You literally get tired of hearing him run his mouth, so much so that the other actors mainly had nothing to do but skateboard.

Skateboard, you've come a long way, baby.
vertigo_1410 April 2004
Skateboarding is a pretty ancient depiction of both skateboarding culture and technology as manufacturers somehow hit upon the new, revived fad that was gaining more interest than it had when skateboards first made an appearance in the late 50s and early 60s.
The movie itself is rather stupid, especially when you have Dogtown's Z-boy Tony Alva only playing a supporting role while a wiener like Lief Garret got something of a starring role as a burgeoning member of the skate team. With Alva, they wouldn't have needed stunt men.
Manny Bloom is a washed up promoter of many failed opportunities. Owing a large debt to a bookie, he surmises that his only shot at squaring his arears is to promote a skate team. Now, being that this is the early days of skateboarding, Manny seemed like a fellow out of his mind for taking such a big risk on a sport that was still developing, never having had the extreme commercial following it does today. But Manny finds a bunch of misfit skateboarders (boys and girls) that he convinces to join a team with him as manager. As the story rolls along, Manny looks pretty pathetic, and fails to earn any respect from his team, which likewise have their own assorted problems. So, in that Mighty Ducks kind of tradition, he has to work hard with the team, so that they may win the championship that Manny has bet everything on.
Though terribly corny, the movie is a rather good look at the early days of skateboarding. More like when the sport modeled gymnastics as competitors in their goofy uniforms and flimsy protective gear rolled around on shiny maple floors with their twenty-four inch boards doing nose wheelies and hand stands. To think, Tony Alva, was part of the skating team (the Z-Boys of Dogtown) that competed against fool skateboarding like that and helped turn the entire skateboarding culture upside down (see the documentary, Dogtown and Z-Boys).

Great!

All that I can say is that the other guy that reviewed this movie knows nothing about the history of skateboarding. In the 1970s skateboarding was one of the greatest spectacles of the time. There were actually skateboard World Championships which drew grand crowds and the invents did include slalom(weaving in and out of cones) and downhill races... I found the other guy to be completely asinine in his reasoning. This movie has a cameo of Tony Alva of Dogtown fame. Who recently was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, and the feature film Lords of Dogtown and the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves skateboarding and its history because this is clearly a part of it...
GRADE: A+, excellent

You gotta love it! These guys (and girls) have what it takes to be the best skateboard team ever, it takes skill,heart, and determination to get to the top of the game. The action was fast and fearless witch turned me on to the sport of skateboarding. Skateboard rocks!
A Good introduction to the skateboarding world
irvinetustin28 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie in the theaters as a grade school kid and I knew nothing about skateboarding. This movie was a good introduction to the world of skateboarding. I've seen the reviews from others who said that it doesn't show authentic skateboarding. However, to an audience that was not aware of what real skateboarding looks like, everything looked really cool. I recently saw it again, and I'm sure that as a kid I didn't understand all of the references to sex, alcohol, drugs or owing money to a gangster. And I found it odd that Manny would tell the kids that they could win $20,000 when he knew that $10,000 would be going to the gangster to pay his debts. And even with the $10,000 being split up amongst all the participants, I imagine it wouldn't be split evenly and that Manny would get the lion share with his need to pay alimony to his ex-wife. However the movie ends before we find out how the money was divided up. I was also surprised that the parents would be ok with this random guy showing up who knows nothing about skateboarding and taking their kids on road trips on a bus with overnight stays at motels and making unclear promises of payment for their involvement on the team. However what makes this film shine is the use of real skateboarders Richard Van der Wyk, Tony Alva and Ellen O'Neal. A surprise is that the teenybopper heartthrob Leif Garrett looked very natural on a skateboard and doing most of his own stunts. I ended up asking my parents for a skateboard as a kid because of this movie, and they gave me one. I never got very into skateboarding but I grew up knowing guys that did. This movie was a small 1970's glimpse into the skateboarding culture.
AWESOME

I was in 6th grade when this movie came out. Me and a friend HAD TO GO GO SEE THIS!!!
IT WAS RAD AND COOL! We saw it in the movie theater when it came out. WOW! IT WAS one of the greatest movies we had seen up until Star Wars and TRON came out! We were super into skateboarding at the time! I ACTUALLY GOT TO MEET the BEST skateboarder in the world, at the time! TONY ALVA!!! WOW!! There were the SIMMS also, I didn't get to meet them. I got a part-time job building skateboards too. What a dream! Then a few years later the movie TRON came out. We had never seen anything before like these movies! It was a crazy cool time.
