SKATOPIA: 88 ACRES OF ANARCHY in (mostly) other people’s words:

In 2006 we moved to Skatopia and shot for the entire year – over 400 hours of footage. As a result, this film shows a side of the place no one will see in just a brief visit. It may be the most unflinchingly honest documentary in skateboarding.

Completely even-handed… must be seen to be believed.

A must-see for the history of skating
– Rodney Smith, SHUT NYC

Skatopia lets you into the lives of these kids… you can see the passion, the enthusiasm, the pain, the craziness, and most of all, the dedication.
– Urban Extreme

Skaters have seen some of Skatopia’s craziness on Fuel TV, Viva la Bam, or Tony Hawk games. Our movie goes behind the mayhem to see what it takes to actually live out your very own, custom-made American Dream.

Skatopia is a grimy bubble of pure freedom; a skateboarder’s dream and end-of-the-world Thunderdome all at the same time.
– Film Threat

It’s the real shit out here… a bunch of fucking crazy hippie, fucking punker maniacs fucking just building shit… just going off… taking advantage of what they own. It’s what you learn how to skate for… it’s living.
– Dustin Dollin

For better or worse… Brewce Martin and the gang are keeping their dreams alive, on their terms.  In many ways, its very existence is like the ultimate dare; they dare you to find out what being free really means.
