About the event:

Tony Alva and Juice Magazine will host a screening of “THE TONY ALVA STORY” documentary with special guests Tony Alva, and Six Stair filmmakers Buddy and Charno, on Wednesday, July 24th at The Waterfront at 205 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, California from 6-10pm.

Considered by many to be the godfather of modern day skateboarding, Tony Alva’s brand of aggression in the 70’s set the stage for the way skateboarding would be forever defined. “THE TONY ALVA STORY”, produced by Vans, chronicles T.A.’s humble beginnings on the streets of Santa Monica to his rise to superstardom, as part of the legendary Z-Boys, his drug-induced implosion and his ultimate rise from the ashes. This is a story of inspiration, innovation, incredible talent and long-lasting legacy.

VANS presents “THE TONY ALVA STORY”, written and directed by Coan “Buddy” Nichols and Rick Charnoski of Six Stair, and produced, edited and co-written by Christian White who will also be a special guest for this Los Angeles premiere.

“THE TONY ALVA STORY” features an all-star cast which includes: Tony Alva, Jeff Grosso, Jim Murphy, Bill Danforth, Jef Hartsel, Stevie Dread, Dave Duncan, Steve Olson, Shepard Fairey, Henry Rollins, Ian Mackaye, Josh Brolin, Jeff Ament, Glen E. Friedman, Robert Trujillo, Brad Bowman, Pete Zehnder, Jeff Ho, Stacy Peralta, Elijah Berle, C.R.
