4:14 – “there’s proper places to skate – in the parks.” I had to laugh, because he couldn’t really go on film saying “empty swimming pools and skate them.” Thanks for posting this great movie!

@MassEffectCrew No Stacey was old before his time, JayBoy and TA were the crazy ones Staecy was the sensible one!
I do agree though, JayBoy was the top dog in terms of style and attitude!
