James Sweigert is an independent filmmaker and a Sacramento native. He first saw the N-Men in 1978 when he became a member of Sierra Wave skateboard park in Rancho Cordova. They were the best skateboarders in the park. They charged harder and went bigger than anyone. They were wild. Sweigert saw them at punk shows and skated with them in the 80’s then I lost touch.

Twenty five years later through social media, Sweigert was able to do a search to see if any of them “were still alive”. Not only did he find them, they were still at it and they had never stopped.

Sweigert had the honor of working with Stacy Peralta on Hawaiian: Legend of Eddie Aikau, a documentary about the legendary big wave surfer from the North Shore. Stacy saw Sweigert’s N-Men skateboard and they talked about Randy Katen and the N-Men. He told Stacey the crew had kind of raised him, taught him to skate, snowboard and surf. Stacy inspired Sweigert to tell the story of the N-Men from his perspective.

Sweigert lives in Manhattan Beach with his wife and two Portuguese Water Dogs.
