Documenting The NYC Skate Scene

by The Editors on May 5, 2008

According to a post on Hypebeast, this new skateboarding documentary will be something everyone will want to see: especially skaters from the NYC.


Deathbowl to Downtown, a movie made by NCP Film, is a documentary about the history of skateboarding in New York City. With promises to be an unprecedented film, the documentary not only explore the culture of street skating, but also provides an anthropological overview of skating’s shift from the 70’s to modern day. It also digs into broader issues such as how urban planning changes the environment of skaters and how skateboarders went from being ignored to being loved. With never-before-seen footage and interviews ranging from old school skaters to current innovators, Deathbowl to Downtown is definitely a film worth watching.
