Trivia:
Many parts of the dilapidated pier set (e.g. the big dipper) were added using CGI to keep costs down. However, the derelict ferris wheel was real and had been purchased on eBay for a few thousand dollars.

A good movie about some skater-teens in the 70's, basically based on a documentary (which I have not seen) and this kind of has a documentary-feel to it.
It's not much to say about the plot, it's basically just a look at the lifestyle and lives of 3 skater-teens.
Heath Ledger pulls off a nice supporting role as the skater-teens mentor, he's basically the perfect fit for the part and is very convincing in his part.
Emile Hirsch also pulls out a standout-performance but really the whole cast is pretty brilliant.
The music-selection fits the movie like a glove, mostly 70's bluesy rock, not my personal taste in music but very fitting for the movie.
What more to say? It's a good movie.
