Favorite Moments:
- Reminds me very much of Tuff Turf, and I mean that in the best possible way.
- "Thrashin'... it's just an aggressive type of skating."
- Red Hot Chili Peppers playing at the nightclub
- A young Tony Hawk as one of the pool skaters
- I believe the always-awesome Pleasant Gehman mentioned being one of the extras (Daggerette) in Escape From Houdini Mountain
- Odd Feldman connection: Josh Brolin starred in The Goonies with Corey Feldman, who starred in Lost Boys with Brooke McCarter.
