Lately I’ve watched two very good documentaries about the movement of illegal skateparks building.
The first one is Treasure Island. It’s about a bunch of guys building an hidden illegal skatepark, on Treasure Island, a semi-abandoned place between San Francisco and Oakland. We see the construction of the skatepark from the very beginning, to it’s completion (the documentary was filmed over two years).
… But the city come to discover the spot… and that’s all, live with that, I don’t say more 😀
I REALLY liked this one. So much DIY spirit!
The second one is about two guys and a bunch of friends who start the movement of building illegal skateparks and become a major international company for building the best skateparks in the universe.
A very good outlook at the skateboard community, with some amazing characters!
