Concrete Playground

     This week we kick off Remake Month with a documentary and it's fictionalized offspring.
Stacy Peralta shines the light on the group, which he was a part of as well, which changed the sport forever with the invention of slide and aerial skateboarding. Tons of  vintage footage and contemporary interviews bring immediacy to Dogtown and Z-Boys.
     Peralta didn't stop there, writing the screenplay for the film version. When a skate shop owner sees the value in newly created polyurethane wheels, a group of young people from the rough side of town will get their chance at fame, fortune, and escape but first they will be Lords of Dogtown.
     Join us, won't you?
