Really enjoyed watching this doc. I was only ever a half hearted highschool skater, but still found this an inspiring watch. The dedication, the heart, the work...all while enduring being a teenager, which is hard enough on it's own. The old footage is fantastic, and I love the slow build and history of how the sport evolved, died, was revived, died, and on and on. Tricks got bigger, skaters got older and stronger, and the context of the sport changed so much. I learned a ton from this doc. I met Tony in 2010...went to LA to shoot an interview with him, along with a few other celebs, for the olympics. Watching this doc really added context to the interview and the chats we had in the short time we all spent with him, and gave the film even more depth...for me anyway.
Honest and moving doc. Great film making.
