Customer Reviews of Dogtown and Z-Boys (Deluxe Edition)
Fascinating Even if you've never skated before, this documentary will keep you tuned in till the end. And, in the event that you are a skateboard enthusiast, you'll sink your teeth into this one like a junkie on crack. Invigorating, illuminating, heart-warming, eye-opening, educational, depressing (Jay Adams...what could have been). All of these adjectives at some time or another are fitting throughout Dogtown and Z-Boys. Stacy Peralta writing and directing flows well with the superb narration of Sean Penn. Tony Alva and all of the Zephyr Crew join in to recount this larger than life tale that's almost too cool to be true. <

>The invention of an incredible art form in emptied swimming pools along with the cool story of skating in the Dogbowl at the home of a cancer stricken youth skating enthusiast who simply longed as a last wish for the Z-Boys to skate in his pool truly make truth stranger, and in this case better, than fiction.
A different slant on a bit of history
Was this movie the best skate flix ever? No but then I haven't seen that one yet. Was it cool, make a statement? Yes, here's my take.

>If you pre-date `Dogtown Z-boy' period and were involved in lets say conventional sports. Then you might just pick up on Peralta's central theme in the movie, that `We set the stage for the future of extreme sports'. Although never a skater, I tend to agree and here's why.

<
>Check out the scenes of the revived Delmar event. Notice the competition, they were athletes 1st, and skaters second, e.g., handstands, gymnastic moves etc. Were they good, talented? Sure but they were acrobatic and there is nothing new about acrobatics other than the equipment used.

>Then along comes the Z-boys with a unique, spontaneous (out of the box) style. Were Z-boys the best? Maybe not but they put something on the map that was not there before and has since changed the face of sports. I keep this in mind when enjoying the modern X-Games, surfing etc. the EXTREME stuff. And ponder, how did they get there?

Come on you old sour grapes! It was a fun movie!
Of course they are full of themselves! That's part of their "thing"
<
>So what if they weren't THE pioneers, they were pioneers.
<
>It was a great fun documentary that my 13 year old son and I really enjoyed. It was interesting and well made. Much better than the Lords of Dogtown we saw last night.

>Let them have their glory. They earned it.
