Really enjoyed watching this doc. I was only ever a half hearted highschool skater, but still found this an inspiring watch. The dedication, the heart, the work...all while enduring being a teenager, which is hard enough on it's own. The old footage is fantastic, and I love the slow build and history of how the sport evolved, died, was revived, died, and on and on. Tricks got bigger, skaters got older and stronger, and the context of the sport changed so much. I learned a ton from this doc. I met Tony in 2010...went to LA to shoot an interview with him, along with a few other celebs, for the olympics. Watching this doc really added context to the interview and the chats we had in the short time we all spent with him, and gave the film even more depth...for me anyway.

Honest and moving doc. Great film making.

I think this is an excellent film. It's real, compelling, and intelligent. The editing pushes you along through the story with such smoothness; very well done. I actually laughed a couple times at how well some parts of the movie were cut together, you just don't see that sort of effort put in everyday. The viewer is vaulted from one scene to the next in such a seamless, but poignant way, it almost catches you off guard, while leaving you thinking it was just the way it should be. The acting is great, and it's such a unique perspective. David Lewis slaughters it. Stellar. He makes it come to life. Can't really fault the film in any way worth talking about. go see it.
