Dogtown and Z-Boys: The Birth of Extreme.

I think that the film was both an ethnography study and a work of entertainment because it had a historical aspect and it had many interviews with individuals that were insiders and a few that were outsiders showing their views on surfing or skateboarding. It also had a lot of footage of surfers and skateboarders that made it very entertaining.
The interviewees were mostly from a skate team called Z-boys or a surf team called Zephyr. The interviewers played a huge role in telling the viewers what skateboarding or surfing was all about. I believe that it moved the story along and showed a great perspective on how these individuals lived their lives.
Some of the attitude and beliefs were that not everyone could skate and you had to have a good style of skating in order to be part of the Z-boys. Some lingo that I heard was "cockroach style" which meant that you had no style.
This piece was organized like a story. It tells the story of how skateboarding came from surfing. This really helped me understand how skateboarding arose and became so big.
Some stereotypes I had for skateboarders was the longer hair, tough guy attitude, and mostly males. The stereotypes I mentioned were mostly correct. I think that is because I have a lot of friends that are skateboarders so I guess I am kind of an insider; although, I have no skills on a skateboard.
