[edit] Plot summary
The Bones Brigade travels around California, Nevada, and Hawaii to different skate spots in search of a wizened old man, Won Ton "Animal" Chin. The movie is of the old-skool nomadic, skate-everything-in-your-path genre with interludes of stopping to rip-up a big ramp, pool or kicker. After much searching and skateboarding, they locate a large ramp in the desert and conclude that in searching for Mr. Chin, they may have found his spirit.
Some say Animal Chin itself represents having fun with your friends and your skateboards - which is what the skaters themselves do on their travels.
