    Lee Ralph?

    ‘Take me to the ramp’: The story of skateboarding legend Lee Ralph

    ‘Take me to the ramp’: The story of skateboarding legend Lee Ralph

    More than 30 years after he tore through the global skating world, people still remember the barefoot New Zealander with the wild red beard.

    @barbarian Absolutely. Could you believe the questions they asked Britney? She was only a kid!!

    Yeah it's painful viewing in hindsight. Mike Munro from our 60 Minutes was among the worst. How did they think that asking that was appropriate?

    @magpie_in_aus said in Documentaries:

    @barbarian have you watched the Paris Hilton doco think it was on YouTube was really interesting insight

    No I haven't, is it a similar theme?

    his 'connections' series was exceptional. Just showed how ideas and inventions just wandered all over the place and cause enormous changes

    The Price of Gold

    30 for 30 on Tonya and Nancy.

    Well, Tonya really. Kerrigan didn't take part.

    Have to say it challenged my previous preconceptions about Tonya.

    Sure it came across quite sympathetic to her, and gave a lot of background to the trailer trashy upbringing (btw haven't seen the movie), but I quite like her as a result. Certainly far more articulate and likeable when she was at her peak than I gave her credit for back in 1994.

    Whether she had prior knowledge or not I'm not 100% convinced either way, but I'm leaning heavily (85.762%) to thinking she didn't. I suspect if there was any real compelling evidence authorities would have jumped at it (especially that DA with the awesome fake tan). The hubby, "body guard" and hire-a-thugs would make a bag of hammers look like Norman Einstein.

    Worth a watch.

    4 triple Axels out 5 1980s hair-dos (if we're scoring ike the movie thread).

    Given this horrendous weather this weekend I'd quite like to spend the day in front of the TV watching these (if only I could work out how to access them)

    The Bourdain one is throwing out a bit of controversy due to the way the makers have deep faked his voice to narrate.

    It is 40 years today that the Waikato vs South Africa game was abandoned. This is a short documentary about two brothers on different sides that day.

    @bovidae
    It's funny that (applying a good old bit of social stereotyping) you can quite clearly see from the mannerisms of the two brothers what kind of political opinions they had back then.
