Z-town Boys and Skateboarding

The first skateboard was made in the 1950s and was used as an exciting part of the event as waves came out. Since then, sports has changed dramatically thanks to the group of young skaters in the slums of Venice Beach and Dogtown where local people call the Z Boys of the 1970s. Skateboards are well known and invented, but there are boys who made the skate movement famous and led it to new heights. But how did they do it? Z-boys made this sport today's sports and played a very important role in the history and evolution of skateboard style and quality.

Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001) shows that the skateboard has evolved from a dying fashion to a tropical stunt-based competitive sports born of surfing technology. The documentary includes a stunt shot of a vacant pool around Santa Monica and an editing of the first competition sponsored by Zephyr Productions Surf Shop. In this movie, skateboarders such as Tony Aruba, Jim Muir, and Jay Adams have moved from surfboards to skateboards and are performing similar techniques on land and water, and the skateboard's It depicts the appearance of lifestyle.

Skateboard has spirit of anti-establishment like early surfing. As documentary films "Dog Town" and "Z Boy" in 2001 revealed, in the mid 1970's, vertical transition skates were born by pioneers such as Tony Alva, Stacey Peralta, Jay Adams. Alba and his staff invaded the backyard of the house in Southern California and glided through the drainage pool where they found it. They played matches with police and cats and rats and were often driven out of private property by angry masters and law enforcement officials.

This land is a warning story about four teenage boys from the town of Cleveland, Ohio. They dreamed of escaping their difficult reality through skateboards and being outside the "land" they call the house. The film tells the story of their summer travel and their decision to pursue their dreams and change their lives by trying to survive at the same time. This film was written and supervised by a classmate Steven Caple Jr., an excellent friend of the University of Southern California. About 2 years ago on the weekend, I shot a color film in Los Angeles. Because I studied a small part of the story and worked on developing the visual style of that film. In the movie photo, Steven and I were inspired by the boy's severe family life dichotomy and skateboard magic. As a surfer, I understand immediately that skateboards provide escape and the freedom of these characters.
