    What did you expect?
    Yes this was an excellent movie. I had fun making it. The skateboard club was called the Imperials. We won a skateboard contest in Hermosa Beach around 1964 and Noel Black was there looking for some kids. Since most of the other teams were sponsored by Hobie, Jack's Surfboard,etc., he talked with us. Melisda was the only one with prior experience in acting, Noel and Marshall got her from somewhere else. All the rest of the group went to Newton Elementary and then South High in Torrance Calif. The two girls at the end of the film where Molly Macloud (RIP) and Ceilo Weislo (sp) which they usually don't get the credit for.
