Chlorine is a documentary that covers all of the aspects of backyard pool skating as it is today, from driving around, jumping fences, draining pools, and getting busted. Features incredible footage of Salba, Tony Alva, Dave Reul, Lance Mountain, Brian Patch, Sam Hitz, Omar Hassan, Darrell Delgado, Steve Olson, Dave Hackett, and some vintage footage of Duane Peters, Caballero, and others. It is not another film about the history of pool skating. It portrays the pool skating scene as it exists today.

Stoked_The_Rise_And_Fall_Of_Gator_(2002).ShareReactor.avi
Mark "Gator" Rogowski inspired legions of young kids towards skateboarding in the 1980s and helped to cultivate the image of the rebellious athlete. But his rise was extremely short-lived and ended with a violent, horrifying tragedy. What elements lifted up this troubled individual and then contributed to his crazy demise? Once ranking among the legendary Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, and Lance Mountain as an elite skater, Gator lost it all and ended up with a 31-year jail sentence. His tale provides more than just a personal tragedy; it illuminates the progression of skating from the '80s and into its current heyday.
Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator presents the tumultuous rise of skateboarding from a sport of outcast kids to a mainstream business commodity. As the representative of Vision, Gator grows with the sport and becomes one of its most recognizable figures. Countless skating figures sell both the action and a silly image of standing up against authority. Skateboarding had always moved apart from the mainstream, with Gator as one of its key figures, but he quickly became embroiled inside the corporate machine. Others like Tony Hawk also made considerable amounts of money skating, but they retained some credibility by keeping the focus on the action. Gator's overexposure included stints on Club MTV with Julie Brown and numerous advertisements that made him a joke within the skating community.
The rise and fall of celebrity athletes is hardly a new story, but rarely has a person fallen as far as Gator. Following the rise of street skating, he tried unsuccessfully to adapt his style to match the new trends. Unfortunately, he failed miserably and looks extremely clumsy practicing basic moves on the concrete. Searching for an outlet, Gator became a born-again Christian, but even this world didn't hold the answer for him. Angered at his longtime girlfriend for leaving him, Gator struck out violently at her best friend. The tragic result was her rape and murder, which delivered him an extremely lengthy jail sentence. As a symbol of skateboarding, his demise represented a black mark for the sport and drew the hatred of his friends and associates.
83 minutes. Plus over 90 minutes of killer bonus extras, including tons of skate footage, rare interviews (including the last interview ever done with Gator), and the Stoked Fuel TV Special from 2003
