A truly outstanding look at the darker side of the rise of skating through two Australian brother who became a tour de force and their struggle with fame, money, drugs, death and the corrupted American stance on their triumphs.
Shocking and heartbreaking at times with lots of humour at the absurdity of their meteoric rise from beginners to world champions, the documentary delves into the bond between the two siblings and their drive to push each other.
Whether you like the skateboard seen or not, this is a tremendous touching doc that easily sits along with its American counterparts like Dogtown and Z Boys.
8/10
