It's fascinating to see the process by which skateboarding, in all its concrete grittiness, was transformed into a mainstream activity of consumer cool.

The movie fails to pull off all its trick moves.

Offers a fascinating look into the skater's tumble from grace, as well as chronicling the renaissance of his rebel sport.
