Editorial Review:
Description
Downhill Motion is a history lesson for people who weren't there. This is how it started: skaters riding down the sidewalk, doing freestyle tricks, cruising hills and racing, getting towed down the street by the dog, hanging out at the beach, skating barefoot. Filming was done between 1974 and 1977. It was screened occasionally in theaters with surfing films and was first shown in 1977. Downhill Motion was made before home video. The popularity of Dogtown and Z-Boys rekindled interest in skateboarding for a lot of old skaters and the reappearance of this film on DVD provides a further look into the roots of skateboarding.

Get this just for the Surf flick.......2005-02-02
Remember back in the day, when you had VHS with bonus footy? You would have to fast forward for like 10 minutes and there would be some secret flick. DVDs have kind of changed this, but the concept here is but the Skateboard Movie Downhill Motion, and the bonus film is Uluwatu. Imagine Gerry Lopez and Rory Russel in Bali - Indonesia in a sick grotto with epic waves. Oh yeah, I forgot, it's also 1975. Unreal footage. If you surf, you are gonna love this. Worth every penny...
