The Bones Brigade: An Autobiography	comment	In the 70s, Stacy Peralta was at the top of his game when he and his team, the Zephyr Skateboard Team, won the freestyle competition by pulling surf maneuvers on a skateboard. However, just as the team enjoyed the success they'd achieved, it dissolved almost immediately. From that day forward, Stacy wanted to create a dream team that not only was great but also lasted long, made up of young amateurs with great potential who nobody ever heard of to get them to progress further. He consulted his creative cohort, Craig Stecyk III, about how to name this brand new team without the word 'skateboard' or 'team'. Craig shrugged and answered 'Bones Brigade'.Thus, a team of legends was born.Distributed by Vans and produced by Union Avenue, this is a documentary on The Bones Brigade, mainly focusing on four of its original skaters: Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero and Lance Mountain, as well as other skaters like Tommy Guerrero, Mike Vallely and Mike McGill; it takes the viewer into Stacy Peralta's creation of the Powell-Peralta company after the sudden disbanding of the Zephyr Skateboard team, and the start of the Bones Brigade, their rise to fame, their revolutionary contributions to the skateboarding community and the emotional roller coaster of each individual skaters.You can buy the digital version of the documentary among other things, including reissues of the skater's classic decks, here.

This was back in the time when skateboarding was all about the contests and if lost, the skaters will lose their pro status and would have stop pursuing their dream.

However, Stacy said that the weird thing about him was that he was a 'political pyrotechnician' but that did not capture as much of the man's sanity than Craig's own words after that.

Each of them, especially Tony, Rodney, Steve and Lance, has their own flaws and emotional conflicts to overcome and they were banded together by their amazing skateboarding abilities. The Bones Brigade, and its company Powell Peralta, grew into one of the most successful teams and company in the world, disbanded only over business ideals between George Powell and Stacy Peralta.

Like shooting a photo of Steve Caballero near a Cadillac headlights and lighting a Cadillac on fire, near George Powell's parent's house. Justified that Stacy specifically stated that he does not want generic product shots and Craig was strongly against putting a skateboard in a skateboard ad, saying that the magazine should do the talking about the board and Craig and Stacy do the 'ideas and images'.

Tony Hawk took it to stride, knowing he won't quit skateboarding and that goes for people who kept bumming him down for his 'circus tricks' or being accused of exploiting his connections with his father being a head of the National Skateboard Association.

That isn't to say that Christian did not need to keep up with Tony with learning tricks, though.
