Worldwide terrain and styles -- street, tranny, junk, ditches, skateparks, plazas, DIY, allover everything. Good mix of media... film, DV, video, graphics. Savannaside mini docudrama. What else can you say about a skate flic that features Bukowski readings and full male frontal nudity? Not Jackass full male frontal nudity... strangely absurd full male frontal nudity.
