Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002) on Netflix

Sub-titled "The Birth of Extreme", this documetary takes a look at the transformation of skateboarding from its former image as a land-bound pastime for surfers to its status today as an extreme and acrobatic sport in its own right. Starting from the California surf community of Dogtown, the film follows the evolution of modern skateboarding through it's 70's heyday, its decline during the 80's, and its eventual (and highly lucrative) return in the 90's. —Jean-Marc Rocher skateboardingsurfercaliforniaplaygrounddrought101 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisTaglinesA Film About The Birth Of The NowGenresDocumentarySportMotion Picture Rating (MPAA)Rated PG-13 for language and some drug referencesParents guideAdd content advisory
