The Wall Street Journal’s Conor Dougherty checks in with The Bones Brigade: An Autobiography before the film opens in New York City and goes for sale on iTunes (November 6, 2012). Dougherty says:
While skateboarders can be precious, Peralta’s film is refreshingly honest about the commercial motivations behind Powell’s marketing efforts. For instance, while the biggest stars of the Bones Brigade were ramp skaters like Hawk, Powell-Peralta began pushing street skateboarding as a way to broaden the appeal to kids who didn’t have access to ramps. (He claims to have enough on the cutting room floor for an entire documentary on the advent of “street” skateboarding.)
