From 5-10pm, Thursday, June 26TH, JUICE DAN is launching SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME JUICE TALKS (at 7pm) where we invite inductees to the SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME to entertain us with skateboarding stories and give us a chance to honor our legends. We are hyped to announce the special guests for these JUICE TALKS will be SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAMERS: JIM GRAY, LONNY HIRAMOTO, JAY SMITH, CLAUS GRABKE and EDIE ROBERTSON.
JUICE is also stoked to bring you the cult classic film “MACHOTAILDROP” with the Man Wolfs skateboarding gang. JUICE will be showing a FREE screening of “MACHOTAILDROP” the movie (at 8pm) at the Waterfront Venice, starring Rick McCrank, John Rattray, Anthony Amedori, James Faulkner, Lukacs Bicskey, Vanessa Guide, Fred Mortagne, Frank Gerwer and Steve Olson. We are so psyched to announce that one of the stars of the film, Anthony Amedori, who plays Walter Rhum in the film, will be in attendance for the Q&A too!
“MACHOTAILDROP” is a highly visual and fantastical journey about an amateur skateboarder, Walter Rhum, who realizes his dream of turning pro and riding for the world’s greatest skateboard company… Machotaildrop. Set in an anachronistic time and place, Machotaildrop is the greatest skateboard company of its day and the regal and grand sport of skateboarding has been thriving for many generations.
It plays like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with a touch of Wes Anderson and Spike Jonze. With nods toward Clockwork Orange and early Werner Herzog films, the movie also features Steve Olson of Thrashin, Light Up The Night, The Paranormals and more.
This film by Corey Adams and Alex Craig was originally released in 2009, after its filmmakers won $1,000,000 from Fuel TV for the Fuel Experiment where filmmakers submitted short films to win a million dollars to make a feature film. Adams and Craig submitted their short film Harvey Spannos and won the contest with the result being this unique film.
This special JUICE MOVIE NIGHT will also include the BIGGEST SURF SKATE PUNK ROCK GOLDEN TICKET CONTEST yet this summer. Guests could win over 100 prizes through the night, while special guest DJ MXF will be spinning the tunes.
