Anecdotes

Former pro-skater Tommy Guerrero made $500 per day teaching Christian Slater how to skateboard.

Pro-skaters Mike McGill and Rodney Mullen were the stunt doubles for Christian Slater.

Former pro-skater and Bones Brigade promoter Stacy Peralta worked as the Second-Unit director and consequently shot all of the skate sequences for the film.

The stunt on the freeway when Brian goes under the truck was performed by Mark 'Gator' Rogowski

Max Perlich, who portrayed Yabbo, was a prolific and veteran skater before filming. However, unlike all of the other skaters was not a member of The Bones Brigade - the Powell-Peralta sponsored skate crew featured heavily in the movie. Perlich would do most (if not all) of his own skating for the film.
