If I could sum up this video by Boomer in one word it would be FANTASTIC. It is an older production and takes you to Europe, but mainly stays in the US doing a geographic from NY to L.A. and in between scouting the best street talent for down and dirty hard core inline street grinding. Covers some park riding as well, but the main focus is city grinds.
One kid reminded me of trials riding with dirt bikes when he hopped onto a bronze statue of a man reading a book. The rider momentarily balanced on the edge of the book, then jumped on the statues head and rode down its back onto the street. Another grinded off a concrete roof molding and a loss of balance would have resulted in a 80 foot drop to the street.
Easy to see the connection of skiboards with inline when you see this tape. This film also had a small 5 minute segment on skiboarding with glimpses of the past by the Canon team of that era. Nice riding of all sorts by the team from jumps to all mountain and even some extreme descents. About 48 minutes long and a classic - not to be missed.
