Airborne



So I don't know who's seen this movie, but I assure you that you should all do your best to find it and watch it immediately. It was made in 1993 and has Seth Green and Jack Black, among others. It follows a California surfer who gets stuck moving to Cincinnati to live with his cousin(maybe), Seth Green. While there he gets caught in the middle of the neverending war between The Preps and The Townies/Not Cool People/whatever. In the process he also falls in love. Awe.
So what makes this movie great, besides the dorky performance provided by Seth Green, or the over the top "Chill" performance by Shane or whomever he is. But it's the rollerblading, of course. The final race is worth watching just because it's kind of fun, and the reason I started rollerblading. But what's even better than this is the sound effect associated with the jumps. It's this awesome whirring sound, I assume it's meaning to be the wheel rotations, but it's awesome either way.
Watch it. Let me know.

and if you've seen it, which I'm sure most everyone has (ummmm), let me know if you liked it.
