From the exotic island of Kandui to Osaka and Whistler, see the pros in “Life as a Movie” risk life, limb, and street cred while out of their respective athletic comfort zones.  You’ll also enjoy the close-up, personal view of what goes into being a professional action sports athlete.

The talent pool on this journey includes surfers Kelly Slater, Jack Johnson, Shane Dorian, Ross Williams, Tom Carroll, Kalani Robb, Yadin Nicol and Rizal Tanjung; skateboarders Tony Hawk, Josh Townend and Chad Bartie ; and snowboarders Jake Burton , Todd Richards, Dave Downing, and  JP Walker.
