To follow up our last rager with the Daggers and Thrashin’, JUICE is stoked to bring you the brilliant cult classic film “MACHOTAILDROP” with the Man Wolfs skateboarding gang! From 5-10pm, Thursday, June 26th, at the Waterfront Venice, JUICE will be showing a FREE screening of the movie (at 8pm), starring Rick McCrank, John Rattray, Anthony Amedori, James Faulkner, Lukacs Bicskey, Vanessa Guide, Fred Mortagne, Frank Gerwer and Steve Olson.
We are thrilled that, star of the movie, ANTHONY AMEDORI, who plays Walter Rhum in the film, will be our special guest for the Q&A at Juice Movie Night. Check out the perfectly bizarre “MACHOTAILDROP” movie trailer HERE.
JUICE DAN is also going to be hosting SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME JUICE TALKS (at 7pm) where we invite inductees to the SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME to entertain us with skateboarding stories and give us a chance to honor our legends. We are hyped to announce the special guests for JUICE TALKS will be SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAMERS: JAY SMITH, JIM GRAY, LONNY HIRAMOTO, CLAUS GRABKE and EDIE ROBERTSON as we also show SIX STAIR BUDDY NICHOLS‘ video tributes to these Skateboarding Hall of Famers.
This will also be another excellent JUICE MAGAZINE #80 Release Party, with special guest SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME inductee, and skate legend, JAY SMITH, in attendance to sign mags. If you’re not already familiar with this revered skateboarding rebel, Steve Olson, who interviewed Jay in the new JUICE MAGAZINE, said when describing Smith, “Keep it low, and stylish. Go fast and lay it down. Do the exact opposite of what they want. This is sounding like the JAY SMITH story. It is, so read on and you shall soon discover why one does one thing, and not the other.”
Known for innovating the layback beyond anything previously imagined, JAY SMITH has always kept it real. In his JUICE interview with STEVE OLSON, he said, “Skateboarders are very intelligent people. We can morph and adapt because we’ve lived with our backs against the wall and we come out fighting.” TONY HAWK spoke of JAY SMITH and remarked, “His style endured. To this day, no one can throw a layback like he did.”
ABOUT THE MOVIE: “MACHOTAILDROP” is a highly visual and fantastical journey about an amateur skateboarder, Walter Rhum, who realizes his dream of turning pro and riding for the world’s greatest skateboard company… Machotaildrop. Set in an anachronistic time and place, Machotaildrop is the greatest skateboard company of its day and the regal and grand sport of skateboarding has been thriving for many generations.
It plays like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with a touch of Wes Anderson and Spike Jonze. With nods toward Clockwork Orange and early Werner Herzog films, the movie also features Steve Olson of Thrashin, Light Up The Night, The Paranormals and more.
This film by Corey Adams and Alex Craig was originally released in 2009, after its filmmakers won $1,000,000 from Fuel TV for the Fuel Experiment where filmmakers submitted short films to win a million dollars to make a feature film. Adams and Craig submitted their short film Harvey Spannos and won the contest with the result being this unique film.
In keeping with the theme of the movie, the event will have the BIGGEST SURF SKATE PUNK ROCK GOLDEN TICKET CONTEST yet with 100 prizes that guests can enter to win, while special guest DJ MXF spins the tunes.
