IMDB Board said:Waiting for Lightning may be the best skateboarding documentary out there. It truly and faithfully represents what skateboarding is all about: standing up one more time after falling down. This may sound simple, but is the magnificence of this sport: it builds character and discipline; no matter how much your spirit is broken by frustration, no matter the physical toll your body takes after smashing on the ground: you just have to swallow it, stand up, conquer your fears and try one more time until you achieve your goal.
In my opinion, this pivotal point is missing in other skateboarding documents like Bones Brigade, Rising Sun, Stoked, Z Boys that portrait a lifestyle, a hobby or a fad; one of them even dares to address skateboarding as staying immature as long as you possibly can.
Other thing that really touched me was the roll of Mike Ternasky in the H-Street team, that really shows the need you have to be pushed and to be inspired. It is magnificent the footage where you see him showing Danny how to make a trick and pushing him until he lands it, no matter the damage his body or soul takes. You can see Mike's legacy in the climax of the documentary when Danny's foot is destroyed, he's soul is angry and scared, but he swallows it and goes not only for one more jump to the wall, but two.
Maybe is for a niche this documentary, but i really feel that it helps showing the rest of the people what skateboarding is about; not only stupid kids doing risky things, but athletes focusing mentally and physically to excel in a sport, to keep it fresh and challenging for the generations to come.
In terms of narrative is nicely accomplished to see the evolution of the jump running parallel to the evolution of Danny in the skateboard community.
I've read some complaints that the main character in this movie is missing; but i think that he doesn't need to be talking to the camera in order to be more present, he is present skating, trying, failing and rising up instead of just speaking. I think that it is what I liked about Danny in the first place: he didn't talk to loud, he just skated loud and his legacy is still heard and present in every curb in every floor where a skater decides to get up just one more time.
