Skatopia is an Appalachian farm where hardcore skating, punk rock and hillbilly culture collide. Mad-Max style demolition derbies and spontaneous car burning accompany all night skate sessions. Pain is a badge of honor. Tony Hawk calls Skatopia a “rite of passage” for hardcore skaters.
Skatopia’s owner, Brewce Martin, grew up dodging the skateboard-hating cops of Parkersbug, WV. With his explosive energy, he knew he could never survive in a 9 to 5 world. He dreamed of a place where he could live and breathe skating… a place where people could forget their “outside” lives by plunging into high-energy craziness. In 1994, he bought 88 acres of land in rural Ohio. With a volunteer labor force of locals and underground skaters, he began building his dream. Skatopia was born.
Ten years later, Skatopia has become a mecca for skaters who want to live outside society’s rules. Brewce, the self-proclaimed dictator, presides over the mayhem like a modern-day Jim Jones. His secret weapon is a free labor force of itinerant skaters and local hillbillies. They come for the freedom and the skating and end up pitching in: doing laundry, picking up garbage and building new skate terrain. They may stay for hours or linger for months in shacks and abandoned cars.
But despite Skatopia’s infamy, Brewce must scramble non-stop to keep the farm solvent. Now turning 40, he is determined to create a monument to freedom and skateboarding that will outlast him.
As filming begins, Brewce has hatched a grand slew of plans to get out of debt and build crazy new skate terrain. His infectious optimism persists through the first set-backs of the year.
But the misfortunes pile on and the movie follows him as he staves off bill collectors, mobilizes his free labor force and struggles with his own rebellious son. Finally, his ambitious plans grind to a halt when he is sentenced to 60 days in jail.
Brewce frantically tries to direct his work crews from the jail phone, but progress on the farm slows to a crawl. “My totalitarian skills will be demonic,” he declares the day before he bursts out of jail. He returns to Skatopia bent on salvaging his income, his relationships and rest of the skating season.
The movie celebrates the freedom from everyday life that Skatopia offers, but it also takes a hard look at the flip side of Brewce’s energy and charisma. The audience won’t find a story-book hero – Brewce can switch from inspiring visionary to bullying cult-leader in seconds. But his fierce, unapologetic pursuit of his dream will inspire even those who have never touched a skateboard.

Ever wondered what to do in Yorkville this spring with two energetic kids? Well, stop scratching your head. Being my self the proud mom of two adorable (but never tired kids), I have it covered.
Since spring is back, Carl Schultz Park offers some skateboarding classes every Sunday at noon on their basketball court or in the shady alleys of Central Park (entrance at 76th and 5th). No need to show up with an all-geared-up-kid; they’ll provide the boards as well as the knee, elbow and wrist protection. You will just need to bring a helmet. And believe me, they’ll need all these. If there’s just one garbage can in a half mile radius, your kids will crash into it.
The classes are super fun and laid back, taught by Jennifer and David, two pros who will really get your children hooked up from class one. From belly board races to balancing boards, your kids will be able to skate in less than five lessons and master that cool street dude attitude. You’ll need to call ahead. Jennifer Willis, the owner of the uptown skate school, takes reservations so she’ll make sure there’s a three kid per instructor ratio.
But don’t try to get on one of these things yourself; I almost broke my wrist while trying to impress my kids, ending up embarrassing them and getting that “what on earth were you thinking???” look from my husband.

WASHINGTON — World-famous skateboarder Tony Hawk went to the White House yesterday to celebrate Father’s Day, but it was his inner boy that made the biggest splash.
After getting permission from White House officials, the rad dad shredded around America’s most famous residence and the office building next door.
Skating through the famous Grand Foyer in the White House and down the hallways of the Old Executive Office Building, Hawk, 41, took hip to a whole new level for an administration already among the hippest in history.
Sending Twitter messages to fans, Hawk wrote: "Hi, I am inside the White House gates eating Frosted Flakes and about to do press. You heard it here first. Yes, I brought my skateboard."
One of the shots of Hawk shows the pro-skateboarding pioneer — the star of a series of skateboarding video games — with his hands above his head as he cruises down one of the corridors of power.
"And here is my exit," he wrote on Twitter. "Supposed to return at noon for the First Fathers event if they let me back in."
Gathered with other famous fathers, including Mesa Grill chef Bobby Flay, NBA players Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat and Etan Thomas of the Washington Wizards, Hawk also wrote: "Tweeting live from the Diplomatic Room. Unbelievable."
"The Prez addressing all of us fathers before we split up to visit DC charities," he tweeted. "D Wade & Etan T make me feel short."
A father of four, Hawk has been skating since he was 9 years old, when his brother — on a whim — gave him a skateboard.
Hawk wrote on Twitter that he briefly talked skating with Obama.
"He did apologize for not having any ramps to skate on the grounds during our brief chat."
At 8 p.m., Hawk posted a picture of himself doing a "nose dive" trick on a driveway outside the White House.
"Last shot," he wrote. "This really happened. Thank you for the invite, President Obama. It was an honor."
