Skate/Skateboarding/Old School/Pool Skating/Alva/Documentary DVD; New
...for anyone who skates or has skated, or just likes the idea of skating. All the guys in this movie are legendary, ground-breakers who would rather find an abandoned (or not so) backyard pool than a huge commercial ramp or concrete skatepark to ride in. For something that was discovered/invented in the mid-70's, pool skating seems as strong as it's ever been.

FRUIT OF THE VINE (Skate Documentary) 2002; DVD
Skate/Documentary/Skateboard DVD, Used
Long after most Hollywood films have faded into obscurity, Fruit of the Vine will stand as a vital, independent document of a thriving American subculture. We're talking skateboarding here--specifically, the maverick bicoastal pursuit of empty swimming pools to be ridden and mastered by expert skateboarders, some of whom have been perfecting their sport for 25 years or more. Codirectors Coan Nichols and Rick Charnosky have perfectly matched their subject with the grainy aesthetic of Super-8mm film, resulting in a no-frills work of art that captures, with time-capsule longevity, the obsessive mindset of those who pool skate despite numerous physical and legal obstacles. Fueled by a driving punk soundtrack, this is a loving portrait of outcast rebellion, embodied by such featured skaters as Tony Alva, Pat "Q-Man" Quirk, Mark Hubbard, and others who've turned skateboarding into a working-class religion. Simultaneously, Fruit of the Vine surveys a depressed American landscape, rotting and ripe for the infusion of energy that pool skating provides.
STREETS ON FIRE Santa Cruz (1988); DVD
Skate/Santa Cruz/Skateboard/Cult DVD, Used
Jason Jesse is locked up in prison for skateboarding in this sequel to Wheels of Fire. As he wastes away behind bars, dreaming of his imminent excecution, his pals come by to recant their sessions and let him live vicariously through their stories. Aside from the obvious retro-wonder of seeing an old video given new life on DVD, there are the familiar yellow and blue Rector pads everywhere. It's easy to forget how progressive skating was getting. Especially when you see Natas do his fire hydrant spin - amazing! Streets On Fire offers a nice selection of different skate styles and locations. They hit up the Fallbrook Ramp, The Turf Skate Park and Upland Pipeline park and there is some great ditch footage.
