In the 1970's, a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, California pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding. Riding the waves of the Pacific Ocean Park Pier, the Z-boys, known for their aggressive and hard street attitude, combined the death-defying moves of surfing with the art of skateboarding and became overnight sensations and local legends. With empty pools as there canvas the Z-Boys paved the way to what is now referred to as extreme sports, and created a lifestyle that spread infectiously to become the worldwide counterculture phenomenon. But all of this fame would take its toll on the friendships that they thought would last a lifetime as the sport that started out as an afternoon hobby turned into big business.
