A warm, energetic documentary celebrating a group of outsider skateboarders who found belonging and transformed their sport through friendship and innovation.

When six teenage boys came together as a skateboarding team in the 1980s, they reinvented not only their chosen sport but themselves too – as they evolved from insecure outsiders to the most influential athletes in the field.
