This isn't a perfect documentary. although i was entertained, i think it could have somehow delved deeper into its subjects. how? i don't know, maybe revealing more of its seedy underbelly. maybe interviewing the "skater groupies" of the era.
i skated in highschool and college 1985-1989, so when these guys talk about how much fun it was, i can relate.
i have to agree with the reviewer that stated Dogtown should have been half as long. i felt like i was watching the same footage over and over again. i also thought the camera movement on many of the photo montages was unnecessary, too quick and shaky.
it was an entertaining documentary nonetheless. i am looking forward to seeing STOKED, the documentary on 80s skater Mark "Gator" Rogowski.
