1978 (I was 20).

"Skateboard: The Movie."

Starring a very young Leif Garrett.

Dr. John performed a song called "Sweet Rider" that has been stuck in my head all these years.

I was hot for the action
Keepin' close to the ground
Flyin' through the cold dark night
At the speed of sound


I think this is gonna be my new RC theme song . . .

(If I can ever find a really good version of it, I don't think it was ever released outside the movie.)

Oh, and congrats jayman24 on your win!!!

Skateboard is the best skate movie ever made, imo. Love that movie.

[jon burrows]

Great movies. Great, well, good music. And skating and BMX!!!
I jumped on my board two years ago at a local skate park after not skating for about 15 years, and after every kid at the place was finished laughing, i dropped into the bowl, and still able to pull some some air. Then I busted my ass...
Gleaming the cube is a classic! I have 3" scar on my right hand from skitchin' like that on an old hosoi!
