The \u201980s were a magical decade for skateboarding, especially on the gritty streets of Venice, featured in THRASHIN<\/em><\/strong>\u2018. It was from this film that the legendary Daggers crew was born and continues to be part of skateboarding to this day\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Robert Rusler<\/strong>, star of\u00a0THRASHIN<\/em><\/strong>\u2018, recalls,\u00a0\u201cI remember growing up and seeing the changes that took place in Venice over the years, but it all came to an intense crescendo when we filmed\u00a0THRASHIN<\/strong>\u2018 there and I skated up to the Venice Pavilion for the first time with the Dagger gang, who were all my skateboard heroes growing up. Suddenly, I find myself, the leader of this gang, skating up to the Pavilion, and I knew that I had arrived. I think that it\u2019s important to say that making\u00a0THRASHIN<\/strong>\u2018 really did change my life. I made more friends on that movie than all my other movies combined. Friends for life. Daggers for life!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave “Double D” Duncan<\/strong> shared his memories of the Alva posse days and filming for Thrashin’,<\/em><\/strong> \u201cI remember getting sponsored by Alva Skateboards in the early \u201880s and, in 1985, we filmed the movie Thrashin\u2019<\/strong>. It was a dream to hang out with all the guys and get paid to skate. Some of the first scenes we filmed were here in Venice at the Pavilion, riding that big quarter pipe with the Daggers crew. Later on, they came down to Del Mar, which was my home skatepark. Del Mar was closed at the time, so they had to rent it out and we were so stoked to skate the park and have it to ourselves all day and get paid as extras. I was just an extra in the movie but, in real life, I was like Hook, because I was Team Manager for the real life Alva posse raging around the world skating pools and ditches. We were really living that Thrashin\u2019<\/strong> lifestyle. It\u2019s great to see that, 40 years later, Thrashin\u2019<\/strong> is still going. Thursday May 22, we\u2019re all getting together at The Waterfront at 205 Ocean Front Walk in Venice so come hang out with the Daggers and all the guys from the movie. Let\u2019s celebrate!<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
