This video deserves so much more recognition! It's so well produced and it's such a great watch! The music choice was great! I couldn't believe native american music would go so well with skateboarding!

I wish this would have been just a preview into a full documentary. I see way too many 'documentaries' about nothing urgent and a lot of genericness. And someone like this should have a full documentary since there is a lot to learn and see in more detail. Nonetheless, great doc and or major props to Joe Buffalo and soooooo many other marginalised people from all colours, mostly poor and working class, who are fighting to stay up day in day out.
