Chris Cole has a superb story to tell. Like many legendary skaters, he grew up an average kid and soon fell in love with the sport. This documentary introduces you to his early life, the hard work he put in to get where he's at, and how he's influenced a generation. Several of the chapters of the documentary are especially well-done, particularly the early parts when they go over his early life. Though, I found that the documentary lost its trajectory when it went over Love Park and Philadelphia, before moving toward the "feel good" ending at Camp Woodward. I would have liked to heard and seen more from Chris Cole's pre 20's life.

One of the best if not the best skateboarding documentaries out! With a skater as huge as Cole you'd have thought you'd know everything there is to know about him... You dont know half of it! Definitely worth a watch whether you skate or not!!
