When the team get in to an argument with the judge at the first skateboard competition when Stacey is disqualified, Skip says "our boys are kicking your girls' asses". What he should have said is "our girls are kicking your boys' asses". In reality, when the team went to the comp, the female members of the Zephyr team were outperforming the other male competitors, and this is what the character was actually trying to say. This is explained in the Dogtown and Z boys documentary. See more »
Prior to the Z Boys skateboarding team in the Dogtown part of Santa Monica it wasn't even considered a sport with most of the tricks being more related towards gymnastics. The Z Boys one of the first teams to use polyurethane wheels which allowed them to take their skateboarding to a whole other level then anyone else. They were able to make skateboarding into more of a fast paced and daredevil artform that it's today. Being able to stay on their boards on more types of terrain then ever before. They invented skating empty swimming pools which eventually lead to vert skating being invented. All of the skateboarders of the 1980's like Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain and s on wouldn't have been able to do what they did if it wasn't for Stacy Peralta, Jay Adams and Tony Alva. They were truly the forefathers of modern skateboarding.
