John and I met several weeks before production was set to begin. It was night−time, early summer 2004. We had spoken by phone and agreed to meet at Bicknell Hill with our skateboards. I arrived early and began skating the hill, which is the same hill all of us on the original Zephyr Team used to skate back in the 70’ s, doing Berts etc. After about 30 minutes of skating I looked down the boardwalk and saw this kid in his late teens skating toward me. He had very long blonde hair, he was wearing old school straight−leg cords, a 70’ s style tee−shirt, Vans old school blue deck shoes and he was riding a homemade wooden board that was about 5 inches wide with tiny original issue urethane wheels. Seeing the image was like looking back through a time machine. I was relieved to see that John could skate. He wasn’ t stiff or awkward but in fact had a very natural style. But the thing about him that really got my interest was how much desire he had to get it right. He was dead−set determined from the start to skate old−school 70’ s style and do it well. He was quick to learn whatever I showed him. He told me how important it was to him to be able to do most of his own skating in the film, that he really wanted to pull it off, he didn’ t want to be just another actor.

We finally landed on a location that gave us the Spanish Style backdrop that 'Del Mar Fairgrounds' required. The challenge with Del Mar set was to design the low tech ramps and platforms of the original event in such a way that they were a bit more skater friendly for the several days of shooting and repeatable skate choreography without losing the cheesy originality. In other words making sure skaters didn't wreck on loose screws, dusty plywood or bite it in a row of hay bales at the bottom of the slalom ramp when ripping it up with the retro skateboards.
