About

In the ’70s there were very shallow pockets of skateboarders spread across the vast Great Northwest. These interviews tell about struggles and achievements from those who fought hard for it when no one else cared - personal histories of true friendships, love, debauchery, blood and guts, addiction, and death. No "pro deals" here... just the hard-edged hard-earned moments that it took to build Northwest skateboarding’s under-appreciated, misunderstood, wild and entertaining past… to its colorful present… and powerful future. Dedicated to all the pioneers and unsung patriots of Northwest Skateboarding. Interviews by Tim Hayes. Music by Tom Simpson
