Tuerck’d Season 2: Episode 7. Professional Formula Drift driver Ryan Tuerck visits the promised land of Hoonigan Racing Division HQ in Park City, Utah with Ken Block acting as adventure commander. How much fun can you pack into one trip? Ryan makes up for missing the Hoonigan Racing Division shop party by shifting into activity overdrive starting with a tour of HRD HQ followed by aggressive spectating at AMA Motocross Nationals at Miller Motorsports Park, then it’s into the mountains for a backflip/flop alpine lake cliff diving session. No rest for the weary—it’s partytime at Ken’s pad where the crew shows you how to play STING-PONG. Early morning wake up for a lesson in kickboxing (and humility) from MMA champ Kit Cope. Would you step into the ring with this guy? Multisporting continues at the Copper Mountain bike park, followed by a warmup basketball session at the Utah Jazz training facility before heading back down to Miller Motorsports Park to drift the Ford GT super car—does the GT get Tuerck’d? Finally, Ken takes Ryan for some off road hooning in a Ford Raptor.
There are 10 million skateboarders in the United States. There are 50 million skateboarders in the world. There are 15 skateboarders in Myanmar. Find out why.
Youth of Yangon is a 12 minute short film that documents the emerging skateboarding community in Myanmar and the struggles they face pursuing their passion.
Our first film, Altered Focus: Burma (watch below in the Extras) discovered this small group of skateboarders in 2009. Ever since, we wanted to go back and document their story.
After hearing the only skatepark in Yangon got torn down in November 2011, producer Ali Drummond and myself travelled back to Yangon in September and October 2012 to tell their story of struggle to have a space to skateboard and their passion for this activity.
Told through interviews with several of the key skateboarders and filmed on location in Yangon and Naypyidaw – where the only concrete skatepark is situated – learn about the passion, skill and commitment this group of young people have for skateboarding.
