Wassup Rockers is about a group of Salvadoran and Guatemalan teenagers in South Central Los Angeles who, instead of conforming to the hip hop culture of their gang infested neighborhood, wear tight pants, listen to punk rock,and ride skateboards. Avoiding the violence of their dangerous home turf is an everyday challenge.
The Rockers decide to travel by bus to skate the world famous "Nine Stairs" at Beverly Hills High School. There they meet some local girls, attracted to the "punks" from the ghetto, but the day quickly goes bad as they're hassled by rich boys from the neighborhood and rousted by the Beverly Hills Police. Trying to escape arrest by the cops and fights with the local kids, the Rockers run from house to house and yard to yard in this wealthy and foreign world, looking for a way to get home.

滑板少年 纪录片的样子 拉里克拉克的片子资源太少
导演是个老愤青啊,种族隔阂,贫富阶层对立,用纪录片似的手法表现出来,电影的气氛却是轻松戏谑的,导演有点刻意的把白人表现成愚蠢淫荡变态种族歧视的。
