Plot
In the 1970’s, a group of teen surfers from a rough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, California, created a cultural revolution by transforming skateboarding from a recreational activity into an extreme sport.
When a shipment of urethane wheels arrives at Santa Monica's Zephyr Surf Shop, the owner, Skip Engblom, played by Heath Ledger, puts together a team of local layabouts to test his new invention.
Known as the Zephyr Skateboard Team, the boys transferred their surf skills to drain pipes and empty swimming pools with stunning results. Their acrobatic manoeuvres inspired generations of teens and catapulted them to fame and fortune.
The movie is based on the real rise of skateboaring started by Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva and Jay Adams. It follows their friendship, the rise and fall of the Zephyr skateboarding team and the tragic loss of one of their friends. It follows their rise to fame and the struggle to stay on top as they begin to turn on each other.
The movie has an awesome soundtrack which includes Cher and Pink Floyd.
