POWELL PERALTA
Bones Brigade Documentary in the Works!
The original Bones Brigade! in picture at left: from left to right: Stacy Peralta, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Tony Hawk, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, and Tommy Guerrerro.
Monday, November 29th at Los Angeles International Airport, seven
individuals that have had an extreme influence on skateboarding sat down to
discuss work on a documentary of their experience. They met at the Encounter
restaurant in the middle of the airport to begin work on this monumental
film.
Stacy wrote, "Those skaters known as the Bones Brigade are now old enough to
take a look back. At a time in the 80's when many people were mourning the
second death of skateboarding, the Bones Brigade through passion, drive,
creativity and a surprising sense of teamwork redefined the sport for their time
and the future".
Documentary filmmaker, Stacy Peralta in a new film with Tony Hawk, Lance
Mountain, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Rodney Mullen, Tommy Guerrero and others
will investigate the history, the team and the men to determine what is the
legacy of the Bones Brigade. "Five years ago the guys got together and told me
they wanted to do this. They believed they had a significant story others would
want to know about. So now we're going to see."
Simultaneously, a Powell-Peralta coffee table book is in the works. It will
include the Bones Brigade, but also other things you knew and didn't know about
Powell-Peralta.
