  • July 2, 2007
    I really liked this movie, highly underrated film, great cast. I think anybody slightly interested in todays youth would find this movie amusing.

    This movie it was done in 2003 and it feels so retro and is not as good as others skate movies and I prefer the in line ones so!! it just didn't cut it!!

    Four skaters follow their idol on his summer tour in an attempt to get noticed, get sponsored, and become stars themselves....( read more)


    While the rest of his high school graduating class is heading to the same old grind of college, skateboarder Eric Rivers and his best friends, Dustin, a goal-oriented workaholic, and misfit slacker Matt have one last summer roadtrip together to follow their dream of getting noticed by the professional skateboarding world--and getting paid to skate. When skating legend Jimmy Wilson's skate demo tour hits town, the boys figure that as soon as he sees their fierce tricks, he'll sign them up for his renowned skate team immediately, right? Unfortunately, the guys are intercepted by Jimmy's road manager and they can't get their foot in the door, much less their boards. But they do get some free advice: keep skating, stay true to yourself, and stay in the game--if you're good, you'll get noticed. Following their dream-- and Jimmy's national tour--Eric, Dustin and Matt start their own skate team, reluctantly sponsored by Dustin and his college fund. After recruiting laid-back ladies man Sweet Lou to join their crew and provide the wheels for their tour, team Super Duper launches the ride of their lives in an outrageous road trip from Chi-town to Santa Monica. The professional scene doesn't exactly welcome nobody skaters, but these outsiders stick together through extreme misadventures. In their quest to go pro, they meet professional vert skating champions Bucky Lasek, Bob Burnquist and Pierre Luc Gagnon, skate pro Bam Margera and his crew Preston Lacy, Ehren Danger McGhehey and Jason Wee Man Acuña, as well as sexy skate chick Jamie as they grind handrails across America and force the skateboarding world to give 'em a piece of the action.

    To all my friends on flixster, who've rated as not interested on this movie

    "GREAT CHOICE"

    I wish I didnt watch this film...jennifer morrison was a silly excuse to watch it.

    In many tv channels here it was shown as a teen skateboarding movie involving four pals.(jen. mor...( read more)risson too)...so I had thought of checking it out.
    now I regret my decision.

    At one point they show you how enthusiastic you can be in your game,but the outtakes towards the end really give the stauotory warning

    "SKATE BOARDING IS INJURIOUS TO YOUR WHOLE BODY,DON'T TRY IT JUST AFTER WATCHING THIS FILM"
    pretty dull film actually...nothing to offer...but however a little modification in MOST parts could have made it exciting....but since no modification will ever be made...the movie is a great waste of time.

    Bobcat Goldthwait cracks me up.

    I didn't mind this movie.

Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The skateboarding footage is underwhelming compared to Dogtown. full review

August 14, 2003
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Laughs are virtually nil, despite a plethora of crude attempts at humor: jokes about vomiting, defecating, flatulence, bosomy babes. full review
