Hot. Reckless. Totally Insane.

The Rio Theatre‘s deep dive into 80’s-era cinematic gold continues with the the sk8r classic THRASHIN’ on Wednesday, August 14.

Corey (Josh Brolin) and his band of skater buddies sometimes make mischief, but they’re more interested in girls and having fun on their boards than in getting into any real trouble. Notorious enemy crew the Daggers, led by Tommy Hook, get their kicks terrorizing the locals at Venice Beach. When Corey starts dating Tommy’s kid sister, the Daggers are furious. The boys then take their beef to the “L.A. Massacre,” a deadly skate race down a canyon road. With Robert Rusler, Tony Hawke, Pamela Gidley.

Presented in partnership with our friends at Landyachtz and Jefferson’s Barbershop – so turn up in your best 80’s skate gear and maybe with trivial answers on your brain for a chance to win some killer prizes, swag, and who knows what else…

Partial proceeds from this event will be donated to the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition.
