Board Control

About This Movie

Board Control is this deep dive into a very peculiar slice of skate history, right? You’ve got this era where skating was completely outlawed in Norway, which kind of adds to the mystique of the whole scene. The documentary captures raw footage and interviews with skaters from the late 70s to the 80s, showing us how they navigated a world that didn’t accept them. There’s a real sense of rebellion and camaraderie, especially when they’re sneaking around those secret spots in the woods. The pacing feels almost like a nostalgia trip, with a vibe that shifts between grit and exhilaration. It’s not just about skateboarding; it’s about identity and fighting against the odds. Makes you appreciate the culture's evolution, you know?
