Skateboard enthusiasts will enjoy this hour of footage recording some of Australia’s top skaters performing impressive moves; kick flipping, sliding and grinding across Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and major skating events. For those of you who don’t skate you may be inspired to give it a try, although the SLAM section illustrates that even professionals are prone to hurting themselves. Good camera work puts the viewer right into the heart of the action and provides an adrenaline rush.
