Dogtown and Z-Boys

In the 2001 documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys," a group of discarded kids revolutionized skateboarding, shaping the attitude and culture of modern-day extreme sports. Featuring vintage skool skating footage, exclusive interviews, and a blistering rock soundtrack, this award-winning film captures the rise of the Zephyr skateboard team from Venice's Dogtown, a tough "locals only" beach with a legacy of outlaw surfing. The documentary explores the pioneering of the Zephyr team in the 1970s, led by Stacy Peralta and other original members, including Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Steve Caballero, and Tony Hawk, who were influenced by surf culture and went on to bring edgy moves to the sport.
