@@twsartadventures3660 Thanks for the tip. I didn't know how to respond to this other than saying without The Z-Boyz and Thrasher, people would still be skating like Russ Howell doing headstands on a board. I don't think the people at Thrasher are Luciferians, and it's more about an attitude and style of skating. You shouldn't take symbolism so serious and tell people that they're going to hell. I think Jesus and God got that covered. Here's a list of nice Christian Skaters that have been featured in this blasphemous magazine: Ray Barbee, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Christian Hosoi, Chad Tim Tim, Brian Sumner. In my opinion you would turn more people on to Christ by leading by example, living like him, and living a joyous and fruitful life, instead of using fear and regurgitating bible chapters and verses.

Love that very ending film clip of Jay. Kind of choked me up. I lived in PV CA when the Z-Boys were hitting the scene and putting the commercial skateboarding community on its ear. I moved to Fort Worth, TX aka "Cow Town" and I started imitating Jim Muir's Dogtown skates cross with Cow Town, which fit perfectly, making boards for friends. I was "Mad Cow," that's how much these guys meant to me, to we local skaters here. And Shogo came to Texas and skated the Rat Hole (the name Skateboard World got wrong "Rat Bowl" pfft) Shogo said, "Texas skaters shred." We were in heaven with such high praise.

To me this was the greatest era of skating. Thank you

Blessed to have gotten to hear these stories straight from Wentz himself. All these people are LEGENDS and we owe a lot for what they’ve created for us.

i remember finding my dad’s old skateboard and it having writing on the griptape saying “dogtown” and being so confused. now i know

Back in 75 and before it all went big time, I was lucky enough to have skated with pretty much all of the team. I helped empty a pool (the Canyon pool) where some footage was filmed by Hal Jepsen was used in the Zboy film. At that time I had never skated a pool, all I knew was riding the banks at Revere, Kenner, Bellagio. etc. After we had emptied it out the first one to take a ride was Alva....I was amazed at the way he carved. His style was flawless. To this day I will always say out of all those guys , he was the best. However, they were all phenomenal skaters.

I just watched it again last night. A superbad crew of skaters with visionary leadership. Team Zephyr was and is the American Dream.

Watching dogtown changed my life. Thank you for this

As a teenager growing up in the 70s in and around Ocean City MD believe me we all felt the vibes from California, we skated and surfed too. The magazines were a huge part of it for us.

Love these retrospect segments, thank you Thrasher.

My uncle grew up skating around this time in New Jersey, always talked about Shogo Kubo at Cherry Hill. His favorite skater

So many people I know have gotten into or back into skating because of the Dog Town and Z Boys. It's inspiring. I think we all feel like misfits in one way or other and the film points out skateboarding was built by misfits. Makes me feel like we have a place in skateboarding.

Grew up in southern California, got my first skateboard in 1975, I was 11. I remember these guys and all the hype, I wanted to be just like these guys, dog town!!! I'm 59 now, still ride, moved on to a long board, easier on the old body.. Great movie..🙂✌️

This video gets me so hyped to skate all day, every day. This one, and the Tony Alva film and the Z Boys film. So lucky to have this info accessible to us. So hyped to surf concrete every day.

most stylish mfs to shred the surface of this earth. grew up emulating n lovin with these guys, my fuckin childhood idols. this is what skatin, art, punk rock, etc., life, is about, you do shit your own way. fuck it if your not following the new fuckin trend, go out n shred, waves, concrete whateva. much love to you jeff ho, to jay adams, you were my best friend from without even knowin. i grew up broke as fuck in hawaii wit nuthin but a board n would always see you n come close to meeting you cuz you lived out on the north shore. i never did but i feel like i known you my whole life. shred in paradise brother. love all of yall

I learned to slip n slide from watching these guys and when i skate that's all I do and I love it

I dont think saying thank you is enough im 23 been skating since 12 i always watched the movie then went to skate with the crew no other feeling compares

I was introduced to this documentary by my History of Architecture teacher. You would never think it at first, but the way they repurposed the environment of concrete and abandoned locations captured the heart of my architectural teacher. And now me

Watch the biography on these guys if you haven’t. And your love for skateboarding will find new depths

Dogtown, Z-Boys, the roots of skateboarding, ... documentaries, movies, ... always a pleasure to watch. Thanks to Trasher and all people that contributed to another masterpiece of skateboarding history. Thumbs up.

If memory serves me well, right about the same time that Tony Alva began doing those first front side aerials at the dog bowl, Kevin Thatcher was doing the same identical thing that he and his friends called the K-Hop. That one move alone revolutionized so many sports.

This is so 🔥 just the history alone about these pioneers bringing skateboarding to everybody’s face

I got into skating because the dog town boys, the culture was so real

Dogtown and Z-Boys got my ass back on my skateboard, and back to the skatepark. I'd had been twenty years, and I was 30 pounds heavier. I skated every day that I could and almost before I knew it I was 35 pounds lighter and pushing myself like never before. At 38 I knew that my time to skate was probably going to be 10 years at the most. I actually made it 6 years before a severe head injury. My wife and children were so afraid that it might happen again that I decided to stop. I owe my second lease on life and 6 years of being 15 years old again every time I stood on my skate. That's a gift few people ever experience. Stacy has done so much for skating that it would take an hour to type them all. I would like to thank him for what did for me. I hope I get the chance to tell him that in person one day.

Fucked up so many back pockets of my jeans cos of this documentary.

Because it happened to me in Central AL, I think late 70's and early 80's T.V. helped spread the ethos of what was going on out there! Hell, we all wanted to be you and live that lifestyle it was and still is magical and I think the documentary reminded many of us of how we felt back then.

The Zboys inspired me to buy a board and learn to shred, am 31 and learned plenty in the past 2 months. Feels so good cruising, did my first hill bomb today, was roughly 1/2 mile long and gentle but I got up to 24mph! Was super scary because I couldn't adjust my footing to slow down a little lmao. Was totally locked on, either full commit or fully going to eat it and i held on for the full 1/2 mile!!! Can't imagine where I'll be in a few years thank you all from Z-Boys, you guys are 110% my inspiration to be shredding 👊

Brings back great memories of a cultural shift that still resonates today .. Thank you Thrasher for uploading this fantastic video of these Legendary people who made skateboarding more than just a sport. 🤙

A short doc about the doc, uh? This movie rules, a must see

The photo of Jim at 12:04 is so pure stoLk ! It says so very much about SkateBoarding . . .

I grew up north of Boston next door to a kid named Don Lanoette’s grandmother. Don grew up in Florida but when he came to visit he’d teach me all the tricks of the 70s. Had all the magazines with the z-boys. He was Alva! Incredible at everything ! Thank you Don where ever you are! Oh, and I’ve watched this documentary 1000 times. Makes me feel like a kid again.

Loved the larger crew montage per Paul's wish. Outstanding follow up doc.

This is an excellent doc... the transitions, story telling and the look is top notch. Super strong and very engaging. Loved it.

i wrote a 2 page paper in 7th grade on Dogtown and the Z boys and got an A on it, it was the only time i ever got a good grade on a paper. it was so good my teacher used it as the example paper. what's crazy is i wrote the night before for about 30 minutes, I was just so passionate about the topic that it came natural explaining it. I could talk about it for hours man.

Thanks Thrasher ! It was as a 26.40 min of pleasure ! 😍😍

I wish this was 5 hours long.......I grew up with this, and I am Grateful !!

In 1965 me and my cousin saw Patti McGee on the cover of Life magazine; bought a pair of roller skates, and made 2 skateboards [in New Zealand, that is] You can bet this doco was definitely interesting to me!!

I was a very shy person growing up as a kid but the day I stepped on a skateboard I was able to express myself through my tricks and style and that feel rubs off on people making others feel what your feeling. This isn’t a sport as certain companies today makes it out to be, it is a lifestyle and choice to be a part of a community that symbolizes family that you never had. Never stop rolling homies we’re all here for one another ❤️

Inspired me and my crew. Thank you ❤️ Still do.

4:49 Thats the best tail tap I have ever seen. So that's how you do it.
