Virgin Blacktop: A New York Skate Odyssey

synopsis

A film about life, death, friendship and something even more important - skateboarding. The film is an uplifting and sometimes heart-breaking coming-of-age story about a super funky crew of suburban New York City kids. When they met in 1977, they had nothing in common except a passion for skateboarding. Despite their vastly different ages, races and economic backgrounds and with their parents hands off approach, they formed a competitive, traveling team of spirited outsiders called the "Wizards". Now, nearly 40 years later, they remain friends but their lives have followed very different paths, from boardrooms to jail cells.
