Deathbowl to Downtown[1] is a 2003 documentary that follows the evolution of street skating, documenting skateboarding’s shift from parks and pools during the 1970’s, through the ramp skating of the 1980’s, to its proliferation and adoption into the more accepted sport it is today.

Overview

Deathbowl to Downtown retraces the origins of skateboarding in New York City beginning with an early crew of graffiti writers and skaters who called their crew Zoo York. The film follows efforts by riders Harold Hunter R.I.P, Mike Valley, Keith Hufnagel, and Mark Gonzales to bring the West Coast Dogtown pool craze to the East Coast and New York City. The locus of their efforts was a single pool at the end of the 1 train in the Bronx at 242nd Street in Van Cortlandt Park which the coined “The Deathbowl.” This soon proved too small and the documentary follows the Zoo York crew as they take their moves to the infrastructure of the city. The film includes rare archival footage of the alternative culture of New York’s skateboarding scene.[2]
