About this movie

From internationally-acclaimed filmmaker Adam Bhala Lough (The Carter, Bomb the System), this documentary follows eight of the world's best pro-skateboarders as they prepare for their sport's preeminent challenge- the Street League Championship. Each equally talented, they all must overcome unique challenges—family pressures, injuries, money, fame and their own internal struggles—for a chance to win $200,000, and most of all, the title of the world's best street-skateboarder. Featuring the biggest names in professional skateboarding today, including Rob Dyrdek, Ryan Sheckler, Paul Rodriguez, Eric Koston, Sean Malto, Chris Cole, Nyjah Huston, Chaz Ortiz and Steve Berra.

Ratings and reviews

Don't miss the chance to support the production team, it's very well done, good quality, great interviews and footage. If you love skateboarding, this is a must about this new generation of skateboarders, from Nyjah Huston, Chaz Ortiz, Luan Oliveira, without forgetting the not so old Salabanzi, PRod and Chris Cole! Even more special if you are into Street League Championship because this guys are the heros :)

The content is motivating and inspiring. All skaters should give it a try! I used to think street league is all about fame and lame, but this movie changed my thought about it. Now I watch the contest from a different perspective! Hope you guys have the chance to see it yo self! Belee DAT!

I was inspired already , but this doc made me want to go shred even more . Must watch , 5 stars .
