Its funny how these movies elevate friggin skate boarding into some kind of mythical, Zen, Budda, rock and roll fantasy legend.

I grow up in the 70's and 80's and skate boarding doesn't even register as a activity. Of course there was the occasional getting pulled by a bike,car or motorcycle story using a skate board, but that was usually listed under stupid sh&& you did in some state of boredom or induced stupor.
