Theatrical Release: August 15, 2003
Synopsis
In this comedy–action film, four high school graduates — Eric (Mike Vogel), Dustin (Adam Brody), Matt (Vince Vieluf) and ladies’ man Sweet Lou (Joey Kern) — follow their dreams of becoming full-time skateboard competitors on a road-trip adventure. They try to get noticed by skateboarding legend Jimmy Wilson (Jason London) but find out that the pro skateboarding world is slow to welcome no-name skaters. The foursome lies, cheats and cons their way into each skateboarding venue, and gets turned away at others despite their creative, and often immoral, manipulations. Doors start to open for them when a professional female skater, Jamie (Jennifer Morrison), takes a liking to Eric.
