REVIEWS:

Shot so simply and honestly. No fake drama, just pure heart. I loved how the director showed not only the race but the loneliness of a dreamer. It felt so human.

Benjamin Lee

Eh… it was cool, but could’ve been shorter. Some scenes dragged on. Still, that shot of him smiling after the run. That made it worth it.

Alessandro Soldi

Mad respect! The dude’s a legend. He was riding when nobody even thought of putting an engine on a board. The film makes you feel the asphalt and the roar under your feet!

Grishma Rawal

The editing is clever- blending past and present like a conversation with time itself. There’s style, there’s vision. Nicely done.

Aiden Caron

I thought it’d be boring, some old guy and a skateboard... but damn, it was actually cool! Like Fast & Furious, but real!

Andrés Alvares

Man, that was insane! He’s 62 and still tearing it up on that motorized skateboard like he’s twenty. When the engine roared to life, I literally felt the adrenaline rush through me. Vaughn’s an absolute beast!

Daniel Rogers

The guy’s a hero. I used to ride Harleys, I know what it means to live on the edge. Watching this made me realize age doesn’t matter, the spirit does.

Jose Fornies

Those garage scenes are pure bliss! Grease, metal, improvisation. You can tell it’s all built by hand, not for likes, but for a dream.
