Well here is a little treat, Powell Peralta has decided to
give away their 1987 film The Search For Animal Chin as a fee download! At the time the film was the benchmark for
what skate films should be acting as one of the first skateboarding films
to have a "plot".
The Bones Brigade travels around California,
Nevada,
and Hawaii to
different skate spots in search of a wisened old man, Won Ton
"Animal" Chin. The movie is of the old-school nomadic,
skate-everything-in-your-path genre with interludes of stopping to rip-up a big
ramp, pool or kicker. After much searching and skateboarding, they locate a
large ramp in the desert. They also find a Chinese character on the inside of
the ramp's spine. They conclude that in searching for Mr. Chin, they may have
found his spirit.”
Staring Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Lance
