Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain—names synonymous with skateboarding—dominated the sport in the late ’80s and early ’90s, inventing many of skating’s greatest tricks. And they all came from one team. Stacy Peralta, trading on the success of his own career, paired with businessman George Powell to create a team of fresh, undiscovered talent, Bones Brigade. And with the help of artistic mastermind Craig Stecyk, the Bones crew was responsible for a whole new art form, the skate video. This revolutionary marketing campaign of stylized print ads and videos captivated legions of young skaters, and the team’s outsized personalities made them fan favorites. Under the strong mentorship of Peralta, they weathered bouts of adversity and emerged as the most successful and innovative team in the history of the sport. A sequel of sorts to Dogtown and Z Boys, Peralta’s previous skateboarding documentary, Bones Brigade draws on a similar mix of enthusiastic interviews and rare footage. But the real heartbeat of the film is in the raw emotions still felt by the team members, and the director’s pride in their accomplishments.  RM
