A photographer (Kurt "Mellow Cat" Ledterman) has been told to find something new and exciting to cover for his next magazine assignment. As luck would have it, the photographer soon crosses paths with a team of radical skaters who offer to take him on a tour of California's best skate spots. The tour soon turns into a comic free-for-all of wild skateboard action and inspired hijinks. Skateboard Madness features vintage skate footage dominated by Stacy Peralta, Kent Senatore, Gregg Ayres, and Dan "Mini Shred" Smith; Peralta later went on to direct a definitive skateboarding documentary entitled Dogtown and Z-Boys. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
