411VM Presents : 911

All we can say is "ouch." This collection of superhuman tricks and extreme wipeouts graphically illustrates the dangerous side of skateboarding -- but it probably won't deter anyone from hitting the rails. In addition to near-death bails and falls, the program -- hosted by Tim O'Connor -- also features interviews with some of the top skateboarders in the business, including Stacy Lowery, Laban Pheidias and Brian Schaefer.

Directed by —, 411VM Presents : 911 leans on a strong ensemble — Tim O'Connor, Laban Pheidias, Stacy Lowery — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2004.
