Stacy Peralta, Director
Appeared at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival
Sean Penn narrates a "taut, viscerally propulsive insider's history" (New York Times) of the original X-treme sport: skateboarding. Utilizing astounding archive footage, Stacy Peralta, one of skateboarding's first teenage superstars, directs a kinetic, freewheeling nostalgia trip back to the golden days when California's daredevil teens -- many from broken homes -- pioneered daring moves in drained swimming pools and asphalt wastelands. Winner of the Audience Award and the Documentary Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
