Zitate
Rob Dyrdek: [about Chaz Ortiz] He will be a top-level professional street skater in Street League for the next 15 years, at least. 'Til he's like, 30. 'Til that body starts breaking down. As good as he is, he doesn't have that upper echelon respect that all these other guys have. And he is relentlessly fighting to prove that he is one of the elite and winning this contest would do that for him.

A detailed look at pro skateboarding

First off I want to say skateboarding has changed a lot since I was a teen skating daily like an addict. I always leaned more towards street tricks (grinds, jumps) so its amazing to see that street skating has blown up in this way. Now about the film. It is an amazing inside look at each skater. These guys practice and train non stop for these brief moments of perfection. It is intense to see the final contest watching these guys move sometimes like machines, and I mean that in a positive way. It was really touching and inspiring. Those guys (some barely kids) were impressive. I think a fan of any sport or dedication will enjoy the film.
