The revelation of this film is Rodney Mullen
The Bones Brigade, we've heard/read/seen so much about them, know their influence and admire their contributions to the sport of skateboarding, so it's about time for a recap.
Once again Stacy Peralta tasked himself with chronicling the history of this (his) part of skateboarding history.

Composed of some of the most influential skateboarders of the 80s, including Tony Alva, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Tommy Guerrero, Rodney Mullen, and Mike McGill, Bones Brigade revolutionized skateboarding and paved the way for the sport's growth and evolution.
