Description

Skateboard was the first feature film to depict the height of the 70s skateboard craze. Many refer to it as the Bad News Bears of the sport. A Hollywood agent finds himself in debt to a powerful bookie. To make a fast buck, he creates a team of exceptionally talented skateboarders and enters them in a downhill race. If they win, they will get $20,000. It’s star studded cast includes Alan Garfield, 70s teen idol Leif Garrett, skateboarding legend Tony Alva, and iconic female freestyler and member of the Skateboarding Hall of Fame Ellen O’Neal.

    I! Was made for skatin'. . .

    I had the old laserdisc version from MCA Discovision in the big silver box, so needed an upgrade. The art on the slipcover grabbed me too. So colorful and 70s! I was into skateboarding big time back in 1986 with my Tony Hawk Powell Peralta deck. So happy with this purchase.
