Emile Hirsch was really good playing Jay adams in this film, infact they were all VERY talented, maybe because it is a brilliant story full stop. and based on the real mccoy man, im talking of legd's like tony alva, stacy peralter..jay adams..Peggy Oki...
heath ledger as Skip...brilliance. the soundtrack is amazing awell..everything about this film is solid neat stuff. the dvd xtra stuff...man it never seems to bore me after watching several times. Director Catherne Hardwicke, i give props to this lady, her vision was on point. just brilliant. Please watch it. Before you watch it watch Dogtown and Z-boys ,its the documentary made by stacy peralter a while back before the movie, i think this is slghtly better because, its less ciematic storylines and plots, and more raw cut with basically skateboarding footage from the z-boys 70s glory days. i reckon if anybody was to watch it they end up buying a board and want to be skateboarding all the time!!
