Synopsis

Skateboarding to many is not a sport. It’s an art form, a form of self-expression and a community. In August 2016, skateboarding was announced as a new Olympic sport for the Tokyo 2020 Games. The reaction, a mixture of incredulity and amusement from purists and traditionalists within the British skate scene. Boarders explores the highs and lows of professional skateboarding while seeking to answer the question: “Will the Olympics have a negative effect on skateboarding?” With six decades of footage, Boarders captures the look and feel of British skate culture, from its emergence in the late 60s to the billion-dollar industry it is today.
