This short 1966 documentary dedicated "to all victims of intolerance” depicts the dawn of skateboarding in Montreal. A new activity frowned upon by police and adults, skateboarding gave youngsters a thrilling sensation of speed and freedom. This film - the first Canadian documentary ever made about the sport - captures the exuberance of boys and girls having the time of their lives in free-wheeling downhill locomotion.
Français:
Un des tout premiers films de skate réalisé par Claude Jutra en 1965. Ce documentaire saisit sur le vif de jeunes planchistes en quête de liberté. Aussi populaire dans les années 1960 qu'aujourd'hui, ce sport offre un beau spectacle. Or, une loi l'interdit dans la rue.
