Synopsis: A bunch of African American kids are very fond of disco skating but the disco house in their neighborhood is closing down. They start going to another place at the other side of town. They establish a rivalry with a local group and enter a tournament to decide who is the best skating team.
Appraisal: The first half is pretty funny and upbeat, well written, well directed, well choreographed and well acted - even though it is not the actors themselves who do the skating, for the most part, I guess. Of course it's a recycling of clichés from several 70s and 80s movies, but it is well done and works. The second half loses a little bit of steam but it is still watchable.
