We Are Skateboarders(2012)
A film about the soul of skateboarding
We Are Skateboarders is a 'as real as it gets' documentation of the soul of skateboarding, and how some of the legendary skateboarders feel its soul has changed over the years. Since the mainstream has come to play a major role in the skateboard industry, there has been much dispute amongst skateboarders if skateboarding is losing its purity and status as a core activity. The film tackles this issue with enlightening interviews from famous skateboarders such as Lance Mountain, Greg Lutzka, Rob Dyrdek, Peter Smolik, and Christian Hosoi, creating the most legitimate discussion towards the controversy in the skateboarding industry.

Every skater's worst nightmare turns into reality when a couple of revved-up rednecks pick the wrong gang of skaters to mess with. What started off as a close encounter turns into a deadly game of chess and we all know who's gonna win. Look in this video for insane tricks like: Kale Sandridge being towed by a motorcycle to 5-0 on top of a hawaiian vert wall. Richard Mulder's switch 5-0 shove-it. Marcus Macbride's frontside 180 heelflip over a pier 7 block. Mike Rafter's big spin frontside noseslide shove-it. And other ripping to make your eyes bleed.
