Tagline: This Summer the underdogs have their day.
Plot: While the rest of his high school graduating class is heading to the same old grind of college, skateboarder Eric Rivers (MIKE VOGEL) and his best friends, Dustin (ADAM BRODY), a goal-oriented workaholic, and misfit slacker Matt (VINCE VIELUF) have one last summer roadtrip together to follow their dream of getting noticed by the professional skateboarding world – and getting paid to skate.When skating legend Jimmy Wilson’s (JASON LONDON) skate demo tour hits town, the boys figure that as soon as he sees their fierce tricks, he’ll sign them up for his renowned skate team immediately, right? Unfortunately, the guys are intercepted by Jimmy’s road manager (DAVE FOLEY) and they can’t get their foot in the door, much less their boards. But they do get some free advice: keep skating, stay true to yourself, and stay in the game – if you’re good, you’ll get noticed. Following their dream – and Jimmy’s national tour – Eric, Dustin and Matt start their own skate team, reluctantly sponsored by Dustin and his college fund. After recruiting laid-back ladies man Sweet Lou (JOEY KERN) to join their crew and provide the wheels for their tour, team "Super Duper" launches the ride of their lives in an outrageous road trip from Chi-town to Santa Monica.

 Grind is a movie about skateboarding. Plain and simple. If you leave it at that, it's not too bad of a way to blow some cash on a hot summer day. If nothing else, the theater has AC, right?  --Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
Sitting through this shoddy, boring production is most certainly a grind. 39/100--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
