LORDS OF DOGTOWN (2005) in 2023 | Must-See Then & Now

Lords of Dogtown is a film about the legendary Z-Boys skateboarders that redefined skate culture in the '70s. Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta, Jay Adams, and the rest of the team made massive impact on skateboarding that still resonates today.

Lords of Dogtown was filmed entirely in the greater Los Angeles area, mainly San Pedro, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach. The filmmakers used many of the true-to-life locations along with new ones and we feature as many as we could find in this video tour!

On this trip, I'm joined by the great Rob On Location and don't miss the cameos from Scott on Tape and Reel to Real Locations (I'll be impressed if you catch those!).

The attention to detail in this video is phenomenal.

[SanDiegoPicker]

Man, absolutely incredible camera and editing work. My attention was captured from beginning to end. Bravo !

[jeffreyreisbig]

I love the overlays in the videos and would love to do this one day. Keep up the great work.

[itsHoodStar]

Omygosh! The attention to detail and the effort you put into this video was extremely wonderful! Dogtown is one of my fav movies of all time. I definitely appreciate the editing and time you put into this man ❤❤❤🎉

[heathhunziker]

Great job on this episode!!! You do an amazing job on all your episodes. That last scene you shared of them in the parking lot across from The Cadillac Hotel in Venice Beach was also where the first basketball scene in White Men Can’t Jump was filmed.

[Seph_vision]

Boom 💥 over the light! Hell yeah looking forward to this one

[Ann-edj]

Bad ass. Your tricks are looking good brother—smooth. This is refreshing.

[pladampa]

One of the best videos I've seen that lined up shots, shot for shot. Definitely deserves a thumbs up.

[ErinsNerdStuff]

That was amazing. So beautifully edited and thorough. I can’t wait to go to some of these locations myself. I absolutely love this movie. Thank you for the shout out! ❤

I got to see when they filmed some scenes in Imperial Beach and got to meet actor Victor Rasuk, who plays Tony. I could have met Heath Ledger, but a crew member said he had left set a couple of minutes before I got there.

[backslider_bob]

I was there when they were filming the location of the burnt down boardwalk Pier they rebuilt it in imperial Beach, California. It was awesome. I met some of the little dudes that were skaters in The movie they're way cool. Thank you for the video

[mobileradiofitter]

Great video, one of my favourite movies and the reason I went to Venice beach in 2018. I just spent Christmas there this year, on my return I changed plane at Vegas and bumped into Kyle Walsh ! I'm gona crack the code and move out to LA

[SeanLake]

Great editing and FX, very entertaining! Also love this movie.

[AShogunNamedDavid]

God, this video is fucking perfection, Ryan.

[desert_dom]

That’s so cool! I went to Bandini Elementary in the early 90s and never knew that’s where they filmed later

[DRESSWEARINGDEION]

Great video. They name drop the beach I learned to boogie board at. In the scene where the workers are loading up the van to go surf, they say Rincon A.K.A Bates Beach

[anadraham]

I absolutely LOVE that you got the bug again‼️ Once a skater... (btw - you snapped that heelflip really nicely! You're not Neen yet but you're ahead of most in the style depot brotha). Love the channel and you and 80's Life (also a skater from waaay back) should totally pull the colab💯

[MaldoMusicTV]

My guess for the movie Dogbowl is, 1040 S. San Gabriel Blvd., Pasadena, CA

[Sixmedia]

@32:22 that is a photo of Steve Cathey. He wasn't a Z-boy. Lots of people mistakenly post it as Jay Adams, but is G&S Teamrider Steve Cathey, the photo used by Skateboarder Magazine eventually became the logo for Sector 9

[Greenmile]

This could be your breakout video…brilliant! Perfect match ups, incredible aesthetic, you keep getting better and better. Keep them coming!
