"Trashin'" is a skateboard-movie with numerous clichés from the middle of the 1980's. It looks older than films such as "Blade Runner" or "The Terminator" despite the fact that it tries to be cool and modern - it fails at all points.
"Trashin'" has also several stereotyped characters without any sense of depth. The whole story is simple and dull, and it could just have been about surfers, bikers or anything. It is quite impossible to make a good skateboard movie when there is a plot about a guy who comes to this different place and then fells in love with the bad guy's sister. And this try was not even serious - in many ways, this is a movie without any sort of ambitions. The music is really off the map, and the editing shows that some of the skateboard tricks are never really made. The main characters goes around or skating with their boards almost all the time to make it look like a skateboard movie, but that is not enough to make 'Trashin'' exciting, personal, funny or charming in any way.
