just watched it and i'm really impressed by it... the plot is stupid but kinda funny and the skating is really well done, i was really impressed by the skating in it
best hollywood skate film i've seen in the last few years
good motion capture by known skaters (chris haslam did all the motion capturing for some character and you can really tell its him)
the best parts were the skate montages, they did it really well, real tricks, real obstacles and they didnt overdo it... kept it as real as you can do it... no 900s on flatground and shit... realistic tricks and it was really fun to watch the skate parts...
also, they have tons of references of 'real' skating that only skaters will know, in one point of the film they find some full pipe and one character shouts in the pipe "salbaaa are you in here?" and tons of references of gleaming the cube and shit, it shoes that tony hawk really participated in making the vid
you should check it out its pretty enjoyable and amusing

Is Icelounge still around and running?

Is there anything worth checking out in that site?
I haven't heard about it since it was launched.

[chalmchalms]

I haven't seen the movie yet, only the trailer online. It was Haslam, Keegan, Jesse Booi, Russ Milligan, Allison Matasi and myself in the tight suits with the reflective taped balls.

A hopeful sign that ChalmChalm gets his due from birdhouse:
Our first choice was Alex Chalmers, who is just the gnarliest all terrain skater and one of Tony Hawk's favorite skaters. It helped too that Alex and Tony are friends and have toured extensively. Alex is also an accomplished stunt-man in Vancouver and does all kinds of film and TV work, so he was key to get on the project and would help the other skaters climatize to our tech world. At one point, he was giving everyone tips on what to do with their pay from the shoot, which accountant to go to, pretty funny. Alex did all the skating for the character Kud.

Chris Haslam was another Vancouver skater that we just had to have. He's known for the most insane technical skating and is just a work horse. He constantly blew everyone away with trick after trick after trick. It was pretty incredible to witness his skating, especially a 2.5 minute mini-ramp run with pretty much every trick, then all those tricks switch (riding your wrong way). Haslam did all the skating for the character Sage.

Keegan Sauder is another local shredder that we had to have. He's just got this flowey style and Mike and I were so stoked on his ollie alone, that we had to have him skate in the show. He's also got a great sense of humor and added that into some ridiculous tricks that made it into the show. Keegan did all the skating for the character Jesse.

We rounded out the group with Russ Milligan, who is a very technical skater and did all kinds of sick switch stance "manny" pad tricks for the character Switch Mitch. Allison "Nugget" Matasi is another local shredder and did all the skating for the character Kit. Additional skating was provided by Jesse Booi, Mike Mckinlay, and Dave Priest.
