Description:

Show detail Hide detail

HIGHWAY GOSPEL is not your typical skateboard movie. In this documentary, director Jaret Belliveau introduces three unforgettable characters: Claude Regnier, who, at 52-year-old, keeps up with the kids at his struggling skate park in Ottawa. This is impressive, considering he's survived open-heart surgery, been competing in slalom skateboard events for 25 years and his knees aren't what they used to be. Jody 'Schnitzel' Wilcock, a quirky ex-high school shop teacher who engineers custom-designed boards in Kimberley, B.C.Bricin Lyons, a downhill skateboarding pioneer, who sponsors a young rider from his hometown as he climbs the ranks to become the fastest in the world. Whether it's bombing down hills at over 100km per hour, just inches from the ground, or spending 25 years and their life savings to keep competing in the sport they love, these guys are truly devoted to their craft. What starts out as a gonzo skate movie turns into a surprisingly heartfelt documentary that bears witness to the power of community, dedication and the DIY spirit. With intimate and candid moments that may lead you to think this is a mockumentary, this behind-the-scenes look at an extreme sport and the lifestyle that supports it is a humorous and at times heartbreaking multi-character documentary that strikes an intricate balance between rowdy and insightful while serving as a reminder that heartfelt stories can also be hilarious. <91mn 16s>
