Day 165-Found out today is the 30th Anniversary of this classic movie from my childhood/tweens. It was one of the first full length skateboarding movies Id ever seen (there was a brief skating bit in the Disney movie Exile). I remember talking about this movie to my cousin and how cool it was gonna be and I thought it was amazing. I had a bootleg (still do) that recorded off of cable at the time and I almost wore out that tape i watched it so much. I mean, we went to record store after record store to find the nonexistent soundtrack, it dominated my life so much. Years later, I still look on with fondness for it, even when it was on primetime with a different name one time (A Brother's Justice). I catch it now and again randomly and here I have it downloaded from youtube as the dvd is freaking expensive and region 2 only that I could find...Years later, I met Richard Herd, the bad guy of the movie and he was the nicest man, which to my tweenage mind was blown...if you get what I mean. Such a storied history with this movie and I cant believe its 30 years old. I still remember the theme song...GLEEEEEEAMING THE CUUUUBE! RIDINGHARDER AND FASTER THAN ANYONE BEFORE!!!!
