Finally Skating Sids Pool | Lords of Dogtown (2005) | Now Playing

[@TreasureChestVHS]

Grew up skating and one day in middle school I found this movie on dvd at the library. Best thing I ever watched. I still have the dvd, never returned it to the library.

[@SHDBandit]

My PSP came with this movie when I was younger and I watched it till it broke. Great movie.

[@mariesdad645]

[@luisceballos4051]

[@JTSunami787]

The moment Jay started solo shredding the entire bowl you realize he was always the most talented one out of the three. TA and Stacy were skilled too just way more competitive, but this scene depicts how creative and passionate Jay Adams was to Skatebording. Riding over the steps, something TA or Stacy never thought of. His constant search for new structures to skate, while they’re in tournaments. Jay should have been destined to he bigger than both but chose to follow his own path, fuck money. He had it all to himself

[@Capsule71420]

Rip Jay Adams 🕊️

That's what the narrative tells us

Earliest depiction of street vs vert. Def a legend in his own right.

4:53 I love this part right here. You can see that Sid is out of breath just like they are, out of pure excitement of seeing his closest friends skating in his pool. Its like in that moment he was in there skating with them..

[@Killgore316]

The first time I saw this scene I just felt this terrible sadness thinking about a father who can do nothing more for his son than to drain the pool to let him and his friends spend his last days of life having fun together. Still terribly sad scene.

[@itelluwut4535]

This scene is incredibly beautiful. This movie inspired me to get a long board. I would drive to the new neighborhoods being built with the freshly paved streets and have the smoothest ride. I had a hill that was perfect, I felt like I was snowboarding. It inspired me to be able to enjoy being by myself and finding ways to enjoy life. Hiking around the lake, to the mountians.

[@theobell2002]

I mean, it's sad that Sid would never skate again but he has a supportive group of friends and a supportive father so.. that kinda balances it out.

[@vincenthammons-kd9du]

@@theobell2002 you do know he dies right?

Está escena que es una reproducción de la vida real, instalo más valores en la sociedad skatista que cualquier movimento político o urbano, es triste, pero las revoluciones nunca fueron de paz y amor

[@maxfrankow1238]

It is but they created something that will last an eternity.

[@StyxByrd]

Oh the memories of skating with my buddies. Some of us are not here anymore and it just makes this scene hit that much deeper now that I am grown.

[@killmonger4169]

Agree 😢. I miss the boys, some still living and some are not….this scene hit the heart for sure

[@derikstinson667]

I was 18 when this came out, never thought I wouldn’t talk to my skater buddies, but you grow up and start a family and life takes everyone different directions

Grab a board and go skate, and then send them a message or something. It's only too late to get in touch once you're dead.

[@Lagerboyy]

As someone who has had a brain surgery and skateboarded this movie hit me hard I understand how hard it can be, can’t imagine how bad a surgery on the brain was back then, gave me some hope seeing his friends push him around

[@RmfDiz]

I feel like this is most peoples childhood. Whether you skated or not, you had friends, you had falling outs, friends die, you reconnect, and then lose touch. It seems like an unavoidable sequence of life. Its sad.

[@vincenthammons-kd9du]

never used to be like that communities always stuck together before all this technology came out really feel like we are the lonely generation. pretty much the industrial revolution ruined everything imo

[@RmfDiz]

@vincenthammons-kd9du There have been a lot falling outs in the skate community since before cellphones. My parents who were born in the 50s, were telling me long before my first Nokia brick phone that I wouldnt have the same friends from high school that I have now, and that's true for like 90% of the planet. Ive got ONE friend from high school still. Everyone else either moved out of state, moved hours away, or we just stopped being friends for various reason. I've also had several friends die before I was in my 20s. My experience isn't unique, it's just life....but this scene really makes one reflect on it, and why that is, and how it can be prevented.

[@RandoWisLuL]

@@vincenthammons-kd9du yea not true at all. I had fallouts with people as a kid long before cell phones became popular. Like when this movie came out for example. That was about 20 years ago. cell phones/social media didint get this way until at least 2010-2012.

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

Jay was the best one the way he went around the pool ladder was sick 🔥 🔥 No people can do it better that the originators of the skateboarding sport.I wish i could of skateboarded like that.A great scene from the true story of the Lord of Dogtown movie.My first time watching it was around 2006 or 2007 era.Do ya'lls thing homeboys

[@mrpandasian8871]

You need you friends like that man, best homies let their homies get in the pool no matter what 👌

[@ryanthecaptain189]

love this movie. so much heart. heath is a force, and the whole movie is really well cast.

[@INCOGN3GRO]

I was like 7 or 8 I think when this came out and it hits me the same to this day I'm a super reminiscent person to begin with but this really gives me such a bittersweet nostalgic feeling about friendship and back in the day shit it's crazy. this is truly one of my favorite movies of all time skate shit aside too

[@JuanMendoza42259]

"dame yerba" is a dope line🤣🤣🤣

[@TLeW28]

This is truly one of the best scenes of the movie. From the guys reuniting with Sid and putting their pride to the side for the moment to skate the pool with their dying friend, the background music, Jay yelling "I'll let you bang my Mom" lol, even the maid getting mad at Sid and telling them to "Don't be idiots!" while they have him in the pool. So poetic, even though its sad. I never get tired of watching this scene.

[@JacobSupertramp]

This scene made me start my own skate team in my town, all you needed was a logo!

[@cablevamp3163]

Man when I was a kid I lived in the country I had no friends No one wanted shit to do with me So one day tech decks started showing up at Walmart and my mind was blown by the artwork and I just had to collect as many as possible and about 5 months later the movie grind comes out and that’s when I said I wanted to skate My mom got me some skate adidas and a real cheap darkstar board and it was on after that This movie is when I realized I wanted to do freestyle All the people at the time were kind of jerks and more worried about who was a poser rather than bringing others up

[@The85F0X]

Vice did a catch up with jay. You can see how amazing a skater he was. Everyone always said he was the better of them but the mental health and drug use got the best of him.

@@AZ-kr6ff I doubt its BS. A lot of parents are jealous of their children and don't actually want the best for them. It's usually the parent has no talents themselves, was given everything and is envious of those that had to work hard, or is just a failure in general and takes their failures out on their child/children.

You missed the point of Jay’s entire development. He wanted to he a team, he never wanted to leave Zephyr. The reason he’s pissed with TA and Stacey is because they used to he close friends and they grew apart after time. He’s not a POS he’s just an angry kid. And the most talented skater out of the three. He simply chose a pth thats not of glory or fame. He turned into a better skater than both TA and Stacy put of sheer experience with different structures in his time away from the both of them.
