Bones Brigade: An Unexpected Journey

An interview with the director and subjects of the upcoming documentary BONES BRIGADE: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

Was at the premier at Sundance - I'm not a skater, but this movie gave me such a beautiful window into soul of a skater and what made these guys so special. All the guys were there (except Tony - previous commitment) - all were awesome...but Rodney stole the movie. He's definitely at the top of my list of the people I want to have a beer with before I die. Truly magical guy. True magical movie. Great job Stacey. Go see it!

Do it!!! I started in 85 and just got back into skatin' after quitting for GO!!!!
You'll never regret it.

[JudiOyama]

Looking forward to seeing this movie. Thanks Stacy and crew.

"Future Primitive" was what did it for me. The opening sequence alone, capped by Hawk's 720, completely blew my mind. These guys continue to inspire me as they are well into their 40s and still ripping. I'm 42 and don't plan to to stop skating anytime soon. Can't stop!!

[xxnthing]

Know your roots kids.  Those guys are our history!  Much respect!!!

Saw this today at the Atlantic Film Fest and it was mindblowing.

[SecretSpots]

Cant wait to see this .... Saw the original when it came out and STILL have a copy! HUGE part of my life for that time period

[NVYeti]

Cannot wait to see this film; these guys influenced all of us back in the '80's.
And some of us still skate way too much for our age ; )
Have you seen him?!

dang ... I've quit skatebaording 20 years ago.. I remember getting m first Tony Hawk deck in 1988 (with the Eagle face) the rounded nose... Of course some of friends were bragging about the Caballero's, the guerrero's; the alba's even the Hosoi's, but I sticked with Hawk's it looked cool and he was more popular back then... Well he's a legend now... I think I'm gonna grab my board this saturday call up my ol pals and go ride that pipe... Gettin old but childhood memories never fail...

[steve]

id love to see these guys tour the country on old school boards !!

[TheElsadogge]

Killer, I can't wait until it comes out!!! These guy's are my hero's!!! My first skateboard was a Rodney Mullen freestyle that I got for my 8th B-day in 1985. I am 34yrs old and still freestyle skate. Thanx Bones Brigade!

[einc]

Thanks man. Im so caught up with work right now but will definitely...

@bongzuki dont get me wrong.. circumstances got me in a different route after high school... I first started in 86 shared boards with friends until my dad could actually get me one dec that year... We had BMX I wasnt a big fan... Started to get into skating in 1988 quit it for body boarding in 1989.. resumed in 1990 was deep into it.. watched all the Bones Brigades of the time, H-Street, World Industries, Blind videos of 1990-91... After school this all I did practice in the parking lot...

He was into Quantum Physics during his 'college' years....his 'Mutt' autobiography is an entertaining read.

Bigpimp- Rodney is no druggie. Just too smart for the room with a brain that's on eleven. Guy is seriously bright, and on his own wavelength in a big way. (You would have to know his dad, which my folks did, to understand where he's coming from intellectually.) Very pure, kind soul.

[JOSKIthedirector]

I don't know why, but i'm really inspired by BONES BRIGADE

[thomasrohdes]

@einc70: I got my first G&S in 1986 and never looked back or quit!
Gotta love Peraltas comment on "Skateboarding shaped our identity"
BTW - believe it was a Hawk head, not an eagle ;)

[JudiOyama]

Bones Brigade : An Autobiography will have it's West Coast premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on the evening of Thursday, February, 2nd at 8:00 pm. The red carpet starts at 7:00 pm. Not sure about any others.
