I had Rollerblade Lightnings and dam it was hard to even soul grind on those. When Randy Spizer came out with his own skate from Rollerblade I immediately jumped at my mom to get me them. Finally I could royal and tweak a fishbone.When I was in 4th grade my middle school gave us part of their asphalt on the play ground to house our own made jumps, boxes, and rails. Soon it caught on and the local mall's Surf Shop started carrying skate stuff. My town and others got together and we raised enough money to have our own asphalt and some wood&nails to build bigger quarter pipes and pyramids and eventually a flybox. It caught on more and more and our school paid for cement ramps.(Bad winters and ware&tare meant horrible wooden ramps after a lil while)
MAYBE 2 YEARS LATER ALL GONE!!! Why?
Because they needed the space for PARKING! for the performing arts center they built. The cement ramps still to this day sit behind the high school in a fenced up bundle. That skate park was my life! I would bring my skates to school shove them in my locker till the end of the day when it was time to get hurt trying new tricks.All 'n All - I felt this passion and lived the emotion that these skaters in the movie felt......AND NOBODY CAN UNDERSTAND THE COMMITMENT YOU NEED, THE FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT YOU GET LANDING YOUR TRICK, AND THE POWER OF RESPECT FROM YOUR FELLOW SKATERS.... UNLESS THEY WERE THERE AND LIVED IT. This movie is the closes thing to that indescribable feeling that so few will understand. Best point of the movie: The guys went around and slept at random kids they don't know places. One of them said if you ( lets say a Football player) called up a random kid in another state and ask to crash at their spot because they played football, good luck your sleeping in the street. IT"S THE SKATE THAT BINDS US

I love the Pure-Passion, and the Hearty-fulfillment that these awesome athletes get from doing what they love to do. Rock-On.

I've been aggressive skating since I was in Jr. High (about 15 years ago) and I'm almost as old as Arlo Eisenberg now, man it's been a long time. I remember skating seven days a week and making videos with my friends. But it's true, once you get older you just don't have time to do everything anymore. We have to make a choice; I went to college but still think back often about skating. After watching this film I realized that I learned a lot about dedication, applying myself, setting goals, striving to be better myself, and probably a lot of other things through skating. I think I'll dust my skates off and hit the local skate park and see what I remember. I still have my original modified Rollerblade Lightnings and a pair of new K2 Fatty Pros from 1999. I just hope I don't hurt myself :P
