Skaterdater -1965 Skateboard Movie
It really doesn't matter which generation you're from, if you grew up with four wheels under your feet you'll appreciate the insane vintage longboard surf styling from this 1965 skate movie titled "Skaterdater". These kids are styling through the streets of Santa Monica with the old original clay wheels - barefoot!
The film was created by Noel Black as his first project after graduating from UCLA film school. The 18 minute short chronicles a quick coming of age illustrated by the leader of the stylo skate pack who loses his position as the leader after he decides to pursue the young chick he discovers after he plows into her on a sidewalk at full speed. The styling is way better than the plot.
If you ride a longboard and have any sense for the casual cool style, you're going to be blown away by these kids styling around on clay wheels, walking the nose, and doing insane tricks on narrow little boards with narrow trucks and clay wheels. You also can't miss the matching 'team' jackets with the racing stripe down the chest. Boss!
