looks cool, when is it coming out?
is there any male/male scenes?
skateboarding has done nothing and everything…
that’s what i respect about oregon: any dirtbag oregon skater (who might never get a cheque, maybe flow from a friend who’s on flow from some northwest company) is 10 times more fun to watch than a vert pro.
hmmm…looks like a CHLORINE rip off to me…some art fag shots and the “dude” telling it “how it was” back in the day…It might be cool because of Q…Fuck yea Q doggg……art fags
That is awesome.
i like the part where a dude who runs a company says he’s not trying to sell any products.
irony gets me hot.
finally a documentary about skateboarding!
heywood – funny you should mention Chlorine…Milan Spasic made Chlorine….and he shot the ‘art fag’ shit.
Jay Smay has not been with Rebel for several months. Keep up people!
Does Art Fag mean good cinematography. Thought it looked sick… will be looking out for this one
You’ll dance to anything…
This trailer is a far cry from the first one, totally different vibe. I like how “reality TV” has become “documentary series.” It looks really slick.
With Howard running for office they could have a field day…
Sure, why not have more media attention on the Northwest scene… then we can watch the egos really explode!
…and watch the profits explode! Think of the promotional opportunities for Portland Skateboard maufacturers and marketers.
Film and annoy.
Oregon IS a die-hard scene. I think interviews in the rain under the bridge might capture that more. Too sunny and pretty… Sunglasses?!? Seems too much like San Diego. Makes skating in Oregon look too easy. Probably 50 kids packing their bags for Oregon right now. Yikes. I love being an internet critic! …’killing all the wounded after the battle’
“A critic is someone who comes onto the battlefield after the battle is over and shoots the wounded.”

I already made this movie, come over to my house and watch it, then we’ll play garage hockey.
That was awesome, I can’t wait for that to come out.
You know, the shots of beautiful weather are nice but incongruous and they don’t manage to capture the bouquet of Burnside either.
@carvin marvin, yeh man seriosly, like there are so many rippers up here that could easily be on a top company but we just put all that aside and have fun!
