Valley boys take on the punk rockers in this teen-age adventure. This time they use skateboards instead of zip guns, knives and fists. The rich Valley kids, "The Ramp Locals," are led by Corey Webster... read more read more..., while the leather-clad, street-wise punks follow Tommy Hook. The trouble begins when Corey falls in love with Tommy's little sister who has come from Indiana for a visit. The rivalry between the gangs culminates during the grueling "LA Massacre," a 20-mile downhill skateboarding race. The winning team will earn a corporate sponsor. For the final race, the filmmakers strapped a camera in front of a skateboard to give viewers a sense of the thrills experienced by the daring "thrashers." ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    Looking for a throwback to skateboarding at it's prime in popularity, this is for you. Complete in Hollywood form with cheesy romance music, but also a live performance by Red Hot Chilli Peppers (25 years ago). Cameos from skatings best: Christian Hosoi, Tony Hawk, Tony Alva, St... read moreeve Cabellero, Mike McGill and more. Josh Brolin (straight from The Goonies) is the skateboarding star from the valley who battles it out with the Dagger punks in one of the dumbest showdowns in movie history. Skate or Die!!!
