Remember when we were young; running out in the rain chasing the ice-cream man, chewing gum in church, and climbing out onto the highest and weakest branch of a rambutan tree?
Remember all those “nothing is impossible” movie staring Kevin Bacon, Sylvester Stallone, Rachel Welch, Demi Moore and all those other pretty faces with funky overblown hair-dos of the eighties?
Remember a time when we were young and anything seemed possible? Some of us wanted to be rock stars while others dreamt of becoming stunt riders, world champion boxers, suffer dudes, super commandos, superman and much, much more.

Lords of Dogtown is a compelling true story of friendship, dreams, broken homes, heartaches, innocence, indifference, puberty and all the pains of growing up against the odds. In a place where the surf, the sun and tanned bottoms were all a dream come true for most and where few would dare dream beyond; even fewer faced the harsh realities of life and unwittingly stepped up. Where the dream is the only thing that gets you out of bed each morning and passion is the only thing that’s keeping you alive. Youth and innocence were forced to step aside to give way to aspiration; and friendship is a bond forged from the emotions and experiences of shared memories.
