Sk8 Life


The Van City gang has thrown together a drama. "Sk8 Life!" This is an actual movie about making skate videos and making ends meet. It's casted by all real skaters, so you can assume the quality of acting is nothing short of brilliant. But besides the Grammy hype, it's a really fun, good feeling, low-fi movie that makes me want to run out and buy a damn video camera. The plot is the classic "it's the best summer of our lives, but we don't have enough money to pay for our house, so we gotta skate so hard that we save the world . . . " you know the classic drill. And they drink beer and ride minis and pools. Kris Foley plays the father figure to all the little rug-rats, who are totally stoked, except Dustin Montie. Dustin is entering a critical point in his skating abilities where he is considering breaking away from the crew . . . but what about the house Dustin, we gotta save the house!! Will Dustin come through at the end and help out. You gotta go download this ish for free and find out. www.sk8life.com
