If you thought last year's DVD was Gnarly, just wait until you see this DVD. Four teams, each with five hand-picked skateboarders, one photographer, one filmer, & one team manager, with two weeks to make their way across America skating, filming, competing and earning points by: • Performing tricks in "the book" • Completing challenges in certain cities • Doing other wacky challenges (like skating naked) • Picking up their "Mystery Guest" • Battling it out with their film and video footage to do the highest, longest , and gnarliest trick!

It is the first skateboarding film recorded in a 100% virtual environment. Directed by Danilo de Alencar Trindade through the production company Abajur, the film explores not only the genre, but also the solitary and surreal aspects that many games are capable of conveying.

Through intimate stories and day-to-day routines we get a naturalistic glimpse into the lives of individuals with disabilities in the bustling urban landscape of São Paulo. The film captures personal moments and how modern societies confront (or fail to confront) ableism and inclusion.

This is the story of a tiny country that made a decision to do something that no other country had ever done -- it decided to abolish its army and declare peace to the world. And this is the story of a young boy who grew up in that country, and how he ended up challenging -- and sometimes even convincing -- the greatest powers in the world to follow Costa Rica's example. "Oscar Arias: Without a Shot Fired" is a Don Quixote-like saga with great historical touchstones -- Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, Cold War politics and Communism, Central American War and Peace. It follows a slight, academic, and most unlikely hero over the course of more than fifty years, as he travels the world in a quest to stop the spread of the weapons of war. In the end, it is a story about the triumph of reason, of the sparrow triumphing over the eagle, and how the impossible dream can sometimes come true.

Bottom line: Thinking ain't doing, so when you put on the ol' sneakers and get ready to blast off, just remember that skating is not rocket science...it's harder. This ain't something they teach you in school; we learn on the streets.
