The documentary series Skate Evolution sheds light on the emergence of skateboarding in Germany – tells of the protagonists who changed skating in Germany.
Skateboarding is not just a leisure activity for most skaters. Skateboarding is a way of life, a stance, an attitude, a way of life – and at its core rebellion. At least since the 2020 Olympics, skating has been in the process of becoming a “real”, an official sport.
Skate Evolution describes the multifaceted development of skateboarding. A story of rise, fall, re-rise, meaning, legacy and influence. The skate (r)evolution didn’t happen in one place and we dive into their lifestyles of skating with the past and present riders – a testimony of what skating feels like, from its roots to today.
