Description: Framed, original, signed Poster! Dogtown and the Z Boys documentary was the 1st to record the birth of skateboardng & surfing in Southern California, which unlike today, Venice and Santa Monica were rough locations. I come from the industry and attended the debut when Stacey Peralta, Director, presented it at the Sundance Film Festival, where hardly anyone attended. Surprise to the movie industry, the documentary won Sundance audience award, got huge praise, and I attended when it came to SoCal, which is where I got the poster in 2001 and took a pic of Tony Alva signing my poster. I framed it of course! From Wiki: Dogtown and Z-Boys, narrated by Sean Penn, begins with the history of skateboarding in Southern California and how it had been strongly influenced by the surf culture in the surrounding areas of Santa Monica and Venice, nicknamed Dogtown Surf shop owners Jeff Ho, Skip Engblom, and Craig Stecyk established the Zephyr Skateboard Team with local teenagers from broken homes. The sport of skateboarding evolved as the Z-Boys continued to bring edgy moves influenced by surfing. During one of California's record-breaking droughts, local backyard pools were emptied and became hotspots for these young skateboarders looking for places to skateboard. The members of the Zephyr team gained notoriety and national attention when they competed in skateboard championships and started to receive media attention for their skills as young athletes. Testimonials and commentary provided by the members and founders of the Zephyr team combined with the rock-and-roll soundtrack and vintage footage all come together in this documentary about the history and lives of the original Z-Boys and skateboarding subculture of California.
