Mick Hannah got to spend a lot more time than usual in his natal Cairns. Living in Colorado for many years and racing the world cup circuit, Mick hadn’t spend a winter in Australia in a very long time. Being forced to stay there, he decided to explore and discover the jungle of Northern Queensland and find some sweet lines to ride.
22-year-old Nathan Monchet got “stuck” at Lance’s Right with just a few other surfers for 3 months during Indonesia’s lockdown . This film details his experiences.
Most interesting among them is how numb to perfect waves Nathan became. So much so that he left a session in which he nabbed 10 barrels in 20 minutes because he was “bored”.
One of the key figures in the early evolution of skateboarding from a wholesome, contest based “sport” into the freewheeling art form that it is today was Tony Alva.
Tony is now 63 years old, the oldest professional skateboarder in the world, is considered by many to be the godfather of modern day skateboarding. Alva’s brand of aggression and bravado in the 70’s set the stage for the way skateboarding would be forever defined.
Vans’ The Tony Alva Story chronicles T.A.’s humble beginnings on the streets of Santa Monica to his rise to superstardom as part of the legendary Z-Boys, his inevitable drug-induced implosion and his ultimate rise from the ashes to accept his rightful place as a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations of skateboarders the world over.
Starring: Tony Alva, Jeff Grosso, Wynn Miller, Steve Olson, Shepard Fairy, Gus Van Sant, Josh Brolin, Jeff Ament, Glen E Friedman, Robert Trujillo, Brad Bowman, Pete Zehnder, Jeff Ho, Stacey Peralta, Elijah Berle and more.
