lets just hope they don't remake family ties because they won't find anybody to play alex as he did.

no, they are different characters and i agree a remake without mjf would be awful, i have a miniseries written but it includes the original cast in it plus a few new characters

It took some digging but here's the information you are wanting: backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Skateboardhere is also some information from IMBD: A persistent myth is that Michael J. Fox had to learn to skateboard for the film. In fact, he was a reasonably skilled skateboarder, having ridden throughout high school. However, Per Welinder acted as a skateboarding double for the complex scenes, Per Welinder also choreographed and coordinated the skateboarding action together with Robert Schmelzer.

thanks for digging that up... i didn't know that eric stolts was originally cast. why did they replace him with michael.
incedently per welender was the first pro model skateboard i ever bought. there was a rumor in our skateboarding circles that mark gonzoles did the stunts for the film. im glad i finally know the truth.

I know that they originallly wanted Michael but he was doing Family Ties and they were unsure how it would work out because Gary David Goldberg refused to let Michael off for a long period since Meredith Baxter was pregnant at the time and they needed someone to carry the show in the meantime, so they hired Eric and they realized he just didn't have the spark they were looking for, so they fired him and then asked Michael again and this time he agreed to do it when he wasn't filming Family Ties and so he would only get about 2 to 3 hours of sleep before heading back to work again.
Hope that clears it up for you!
