Deathbowl to Downtown: The Evolution of Skateboarding New York City

Dir. Coan Nichols and Rick Charnoski (2009)
87 min.
Deathbowl to Downtown documents the shift in skateboarding primacy from the parks and the pools of sunny California in the 70’s to the gritty streets of New York in the 90’s. This transition also foretells the recent hybrid uptake of skateboard culture in Harlem and other communities of color.
