Our Judges say:
Why does this film make me want to skate downhill at 100kph? ... Because that sense of flying that they talk about in the film is so palpable!Frit Tam
Join good buddy Sean Young and friends as they bomb down some of British Columbia's finest downhill skate spots - paved roads at speeds up to and over 110kmph! Sean and I have been friends for 7 years and talking about making a skate project for the past 5. At the end of last summer we finally made it happen, stoked to tell a little bit of his skateboard story and document/showcase what highway speeds look like balanced on 4 tiny urethane wheels!
