i don't think the video was ever intended to be a doc. it is very much like a modern skate video in that its target audience is the subculture itself. a "those who know-don't tell, those who tell-don't know" type thing..

that being said, my film production classes (high school) watched several segments together and everyone totally enjoyed it for entertainment/production value alone. and when the kids found out there were no brakes and that Gabe was filming a lot of it on a skateboard... the stoke factor went through the roof.
