Watched it last night, just superb as the era of the Bones Brigade is basically my entire time skating (skill have a Powell-Peralta setup in my parents garage). Some real insights into the team and what made them tick. Rodney Mullen in particular is a fascinating guy. If you've seen Dogtown and the Z-Boys this is a great follow-on
Trailer here:
Sounds a bit like an astroturf I know 🙂
Anyway, really good, definitely worth watching as these effectively are the people that formed modern skateboarding into what it is
Is it released on DVD or what?
I was on holiday in Newquay and Smile surfshop were playing a video in their window with Tommy G section of Future Primitive, seeing him street skate is what got me into skateboarding. I ended up skating a vert demo with Tony Hawk !
Yes Its Vey Veery good indeed.
also worth a watch if you haven't already...

it's on netflix if you have that. I watched it the other night - also started skating properly during the bones brigade years. Mullen is definitely the most 'interesting' character. I remember watching him at a demo at southbank in 1989 (I think), totally mindblowing.
scruff - I watched it on Netflix. Looks like it's on DVD but not cheap (30 quid or so).
passtherizla - Rocco documentary eh. He and Mullen sold World Industries for 20M dollars and he always seemed like an interesting bloke so I'll put it on the list.
vintagewino - I think that was a random stop on the BB tour that year. I went to Romford to try to see the demo there and it was totally rammed, couldn't get near the place.
Atlaz, Yeah Rocco is a ruthless business man... Quite hard to watch in places.
Mullan is Excellent in it.. what a guy!
rammed is about right! there were about 8 million people at southbank that day. later he went to slam to do a signing session, it took forever to get inside...
