A coming-of-age movie about a California skateboard gang. One member disgraces himself by taking up with a (gasp!) girl. The movie ends with a skateboard duel between the traitor and his former buddy. The two face off doing slaloms down a steep hill.
Winner of the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival, it additionally was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Short Subject category. First prizes in international film festivals including Moscow and Venice.
The film tells a story with no dialogue. The surf rock-esque soundtrack was composed by Mike Curb (of later "Mike Curb Congregation" fame) and Nick Venet with Davie Allan and the Arrows playing "Skaterdater Rock".
Long considered to the first-ever film about skateboarding, it was distributed theatrically, both domestically and internationally, by United Artists and reviewed extensively in the print media including "Time Magazine".
The skateboarders were members of the neighborhood Imperial Skateboard Club from Torrance, California. Their names are Gary Hill, Gregg Carrol, Mike Mel, Bill McKaig, Gary Jennings, Bruce McKaig and Rick Anderson. Most of the action shots were taken in Torrance, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes Estates. The final shot was Averill Park in San Pedro.
