Good

Actual history, it's about a kid named benton who pretty much invented grip tape and literally invented pool/vert skateboarding. Then the "z-boys" pretty much steal everything from him so they could sell out for money except Jay Adams who was real about it and Straight up. Contrary to the other review Benton does not equal Duane Peters total lie lol.

Stacy Adam's bill Clinton's out in the interview. Tony Alva sort of plays it off. Jay organizes the whole thing and is the only honest one lol which is just who he was.

Benton winds up getting no money and cheated out of skateboard magazine and history by Skip Engblom who blocks it because he didn't like him. Then everyone else except Jay goes along with it and steal his moves to get famous and get money. Benton winds up in jail and pretty much his life gets ruined up until this documentary comes out.
