Little more than an extended piece of lifestyle merchandising, a long montage for monitors in sporting-goods shops.

The person we want most to hear from, Way himself, is largely missing. Go figure.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post

Only for the converted.

It's enjoyable enough, but how much you like it will depend on how much you like skateboarding and extreme sports.

IIf it's a god on a skateboard you want, a god on a skateboard you'll get in this hagiography ...
