The Skateboard Kid is a 1993 comedy film directed by Larry Swerdlove. It follows Zack, the leader of a gang of mischief-causing skateboarders, who suddenly finds having to move from Los Angeles to Mill Creek, Pennsylvania. Even though his old gang follows him on skateboard all the way to Mill Creek, they slowly turn from Zack's friends to bullies. After Zack's skateboard breaks, he meets Maggie, the mother of one of the local girls, who gives him a new skateboard as a thank-you gift. After making some modifications to the new board, a bolt of lightning hits it, bringing it to life (voiced by Dom De Luise.) After Rip the board protects Zack from the bullies, they form a friendship like no other.In 1994 a sequel, simple entitled The Skateboard Kid II, was released.
