A Super-8 documentary shot by Coan Nichols and Rick Charnosky, FRUIT OF THE VINE chronicles the directors` travels from California to Washington searching for empty, or near-empty, pools to skate. More of an episodic collection of stories, the film follows Nichols and Charnosky as they meet and profile skaters who find, break into, and skate the abandoned or neglected pools of the suburban west coast. Featuring well-known skaters such as Tony Alva, Lance Mountain, Tony Farmer, Salba, and others, FRUIT OF THE VINE is an entertaining chronicle of one of skating`s proudest and potentially dangerous traditions.
