What The Motivation Is About

The documentary follows eight of the best professional skateboarders in the world as they prepare for the Street League championship. Among them are Ryan Sheckler, Paul Rodriguez, Chris Cole and Sean Malto. Each comes from somewhere different and each has a different relationship with the board. The contest lasts a single day and their careers hang on it. Adam Bhala Lough's documentary also takes up skateboarding's move off the street and into a system of money and sponsorship: some count that a gain, others the loss of the sport's spirit. The film gives both views. Injuries, pressure and the cost of fame arriving young are all discussed openly. It runs eighty-eight minutes.
