ROCCO

Finally picked this dvd up courtesy of the one and only Sean Goff.



















Whatever your thoughts on Steve Rocco this documentary is essential viewing for anyone with a passing interest in skateboarding. Like Dogtown and the Z Boys, 'TMWSTW' has skateboarding as its background but really it's a story about people and a culture. Rocco and World Industries meant a lot to me when I was younger, I would have bought anything they put their stamp on - which is probably why many have a problem with them. For me though, World were exciting, anarchic and perfectly of the time...and it was all down to the man like Rocco.
