FRUIT OF THE VINE

1999

Armed with a Super 8 camera, Rick and Buddy surveyed the USA on an ofte-dangerous quest to seek out empty pools for skateboarding. Most evident precursor is Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer...except the waves are man's concrete detritus. This was Rick and Buddy's first film and best exemplifies their DIY aesthetic.

"Fruit of the Vine is a seminal work of scraped knees, bruised elbows and big air...they find beautiful settings for raged glory." - Rolling Stone
