Highway Gospel

Nothing to do with religion, Highway Gospel is a documentary on the downhill and slalom race scene that has come of age (again) outside of and in spite of the mainstream skateboard industry. These types of underground skateboarding events harken back to the early years of Thrasher, if not before. Highway Gospel is part of the Hot Docs film festival in Toronto, Canada which runs from April 28 – May 8. From there the film heads west to the DOXA film festival in Vancouver to premiere on May 13th. Trailer after the jump.

    there are several outlaw downhill races that happen in the Corvallis area, thanks in part to dick-foot pushing college kids on longboards making a comeback

      They may push dick-footed but I bet the can bomb a hill much faster than you.
