Picking Up Skateboarding | Lords of Dogtown (2005) | Now Playing

[@MitchellFace]

By far the best skateboard movie of all time. My mom used to board back in the day about the same time this movie took place and getting to watch it with her was a fun experience.

[@snooch1]

MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate is the best skateboard movie

[@shmokin702]

But have you seen the search for animal chin?

[@soulreaperx7x]

Your mom used to board all the dudes around town is what she used to do 😂😂🤣

[@DrakeBrunette]

1:49 I just realized that the guy Skip rudely kicked out of his shop is the same guy who buys the shop and becomes skips boss near the end of the film....

[@mdb1010]

Yeah im wondering if this was accurate or not

[@rsb6677]

😲Holy Crap never realized that!🤯

[@GWEENIEE]

This movie is special to me my homeboys growing up literally modeled ourselves after these guys' skateboarding was our life when we were younger, and this movie made us just wanna live our life just like this lol hard imitation i love skateboarding i dont skate no more but it's still a big part of my life and where i pay my attention

I remember seeing this on repeat on my friend's house he had cable good times still have the psp movie

[@valdie91285]

Didn't realize until now that the guy they kicked out ended up owning the store at the end.

Omg, great observation! I would have never caught that

[@redwood9992]

chino thought he was the toughest guy in all of venice til jay clacked him in the face w/ his board 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀 all seriousness wish we couldve seen more of peggy, shogo, reddawg n some of the other z boys

[@slimj091]

Love that they are talking about making money off the kids, and the same time making fun of Peralta for having a job.

[@ThePhukst1k]

Yeah I just watched a few clips from this movie and my perception of the film has completely changed from watching it so many years ago.

[@derpymouse1959]

yeah that's kinda how it boiled down in reality too, everyone kept making fun of Peralta because it was like everyone knew he'd sold out, but then everyone started to realize people were selling out to Stacey now, he had made a franchise.

[@derpymouse1959]

and learned how to by actually working jobs

[@lovebug9696]

yup

Loved Heath in this role. Man had so much range

[@BOSSMAN-xz3hw]

Tbh I thought it was Pete haha

[@Pepespizzeria1]

Nah, he wasn't allowed to shine until dark knight, he did mostly pretty boy roles which was a shame

[@michaelmcguigan5278]

⁠@@Pepespizzeria1not completely true his role in The Patriot was definitely a great supporting role to Mel Gibson’s leading man. I wouldn’t say he was the prototypical “pretty boy” in Knight’s Tale or Brokeback Mountain either. Dark Knight was his second big time breakout role. His career was really just getting started.

[@fernandomaron87]

@@Pepespizzeria1 'He wasn't allowed to shine', are you f*cking kidding me? Go watch 'Monster's Ball', 'The Four Feathers', 'The Order', 'Ned Kelly', 'Brothers Grimm', 'Candy', and say that again, the dude even directed some music videos, he had an incredible range for an artist who was just 28.. Saying he 'wasn't allowed to shine until dark knight' is definetly an exaggeration.

[@Pepespizzeria1]

@@fernandomaron87 ok well i was being objective, you're clearly emotionally invested, didn't mean to upset you

[@BMCGreifyy]

Imagine if a modern skateboarder went back in time to this era and showed these guys modern day skateboarding. Their heads would exploded lol.

[@fernandomaron87]

That's pretty much what happened when Rodney busted into the scene in the early 80s

[@DavidinSLO]

such a great clip, I grew up in Los Angeles not far from where this all was filmed, my elementary school and junior high had the exact same asphalt embankments, and - of course - kids skating them all afternoon long

its so fun to watch this and imagine a time before we were warped by our smartphones and social media.

[@aqualust5016]

Bro I forget so often, but social media has had this wave of retro-inspired channels and accounts that constantly remind me. Never forget where you came from or you'll get sucked into someone else's way of thinking and acting when you don't want to.

Skip Engblom, Heath even lived at his garage for a couple of weeks to spend some time with him to understand his lifestyle and catch his mannerisms.

[@allendeufriend6930]

I have such awesome memories of that time And it’s way sad that our kids didn’t live it too.

[@homelessman3483]

Don't feel bad at least our generation (millennial) still got to play outside and have friends... my generations kids "the tablet generation" or gen z are the ones you should feel for.. everyone is addicted to the internet now and can't even have fun without a device.

[@mikedabserrlday]

Damn I never even noticed that was Mitch, RIP to 2 legends in the scene.

[@b5Bart]

anyone remember getting the psp bundle with this movie as one of the things in the bundle???

[@soapbox187]

Good lord... Heath Ledger Mitch Hedberg Legendary. Great movie.

[@Bill-in-SF]

In 1977 rode my new G&S Fiberflex 27" with Bennett Pro Ads and RoadRider 6s from UCLA over to a grade school named Kenter that supposedly had banked walls. The walls in this scene sure look like those at Kenter. When I arrived there were a dozen or so guys skating; I recognized Stacy Peralta and another younger kid who was pretty famous at the time, Baby Joe Constanough (I think I'm mangling his last name). I just googled "Kenter Elementary School" and some of the banked walls are still in place. Those were the days...

[@cheryl9389]

These actors nailed it...surf punk rock😂

[@marcjohnson7882]

It's amazing that they skated as hard as they did on clay wheels before getting onto urethane.

[@NickDash-ht4uv]

We really missed out on Mitch Hedberg movie career RIP. Dude was just getting into acting.

[@LeoNeedsWaffles]

Whoa was that Mitch Hedberg?

[@TonyHiimself]

i Always said to myself there's no one in the cars lmao

[@IcyIndra]

I love the little details in this movie. Skip says "Who has bad karma?" and Tony get's the board. In the movie he punches the judge in the face who tried to DQ Stacy and got his Karma for that punch later with the G&S Skater.

[@beaniemanmg9134]

Was this before street skate was established? Awesome.

[@fernandomaron87]

Yeah, street caught on in early to mid 80s, this is set in 75-79

[@TheTopProgrammer]

Bro this movie so far and never got the recognition but now the algorithm can set sail

[@jacobtennyson9213]

The introduction to urethane wheels made skateboarding smoother twisty and gripping. In those times roller skating and skateboarding wheels are made of wood and vulcanized rubber. And they don't grip good.

[@Xxmeca421xX]

I forgot Mitch Hedberg is in this.. nice

[@MaxxxWellz]

I had no clue that was Mitch Hedberg!!!

[@Fishbone8891]

I didn't realize the Hanson brothers were making movies

[@douglasbull4147]

Can this be anymore 70s California

[@fvw1187]

Was not expecting Mitch Hedberg

[@1COMIXMAN]

And look what happened in the end. They judged peralta but because of him skating is what it is today. No bones brigade without peralta.no powell peralta sponsor for Tony hawk or many other greats of the 80s. yes the others I their crew laid the groundwork the foundation's but peralta not only lived the dream he brought it to millions of kids with his boards. The rest are just footnotes in the creation of modern skating.

[@fernandomaron87]

The other guys maybe, but not Alva man, T.A. is considered one of the most influential skateboarders of all times. Every skating history book will have his name on. Also he was doing pretty much the same as Stacey in the 80s, the Alva team was tight, full of talent as well, except more down to the people and less mainstream.

[@HeronPoint2021]

co-worker would visit me with his lab, Sam, found on the beach in Santa Monica where I lived. He was a vet, serious surfer, and hard worker. you didn't surf the pylons off the pier unless you were very skilled, and the Zephyr crew would not tolerate amateurs.

[@cheryl9389]

..locals only

[@fdsjlaf]

that was peralta presenting the wheels right?

Wasn’t Mike of Suicidal Tendencies brother one of the boys?

[@happinesshotel5375]

Yeah, get a haircut man. Says the guy with the same hair but more curly lol

[@fernandomaron87]

I guess he meant Stacey didn't belong to the long hair crew and needed a short clean haircut, as he was a 'normie' to them and not a bad boy.
