This summer i had the chance to follow Mehdi Gani for his second experience at RedBull Joyride in Whistler. I followed him during the six days before the finals. It’s hard to describe how high the pressure is for this group of athletes. They are maybe 30 or 40 on this planet capable to perform huge tricks on this race and stay alive until the end of their run. As a true passionate like me, and this for many years, I’m really happy to share this short movie with all the community.
“The Blind Rider” is a story about spirit of achievement and motivation. Marcelo Lusardi, a skateboarder from Santiago de Compostela, Spain, suddenly became blind due to a degenerative disease, but still, he continues skateboarding, and pushing day by day.
The documentary shows the process with interviews to family and friends, and Marcelo doing what he loves the most: skateboarding.
No matter what you’re doing in life, with great success comes great failure. And few people know that better than the talented skiers who participated in Level 1’s 2016 film, “PLEASURE.” In the film, you’ll find endless shots of these folks stomping tricks all over the world. But, today, we present to you the behind-the-scenes crashes that came before the glory.
