Saw Wreck It Ralph finally today in the theaters.

It was that good. If you are even just remotely interested in skateboarding, do yourself a favor and watch this movie. If you actually did skate, it is a must watch. These guys pretty much single handedly defined the modern era of skateboarding. All of them had a hand in shaping what skateboarding is known to be today, but especially Rodney Mullen.

Brilliant, brilliant documentary, and really does tell the story of a very, very important group of skateboarders.
