DVD Reviews of Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator
DVD Review: A Tragedy from the World of Skateboarding
Summary: 3 Stars
Way back in 1992, I happened across an article in the Village Voice that told an amazing tale. It was about a professional skateboarder named Mark "Gator" Rogowski who had murdered a woman, dumped her body in the desert, and subsequently plead guilty to the crime. The dramatic tale has stuck with me through the years.
When I saw that there was a documentary about Gator, I jumped at the chance to watch it. Stoked is a great time capsule about 1980s skate culture. Though not a skater, I remember that time quite well and the film brought back a lot of fond memories. (There is even a clip of Gator appearing on MTV with "Downtown" Julie Brown). Stoked includes a lot interviews Gator gave during the 1980s as well as more-recent interviews with his ex-girlfriend and many professional skaters.
Stoked is great for 1980s nostalgia, but it is not as good at discussing Gator's crime. Some of the most-interesting information is missing completely (particularly the role that Gator's spiritual advisor and court-appointed attorney played in the case). Stoked is pretty good, but those who want to know more about Gator's crimes should seek out the original Village Voice article. (It is by Cory Johnson, titled "Free Fallin'" and appeared in the December 8, 1992 issue).
