To an accompaniment of Christian music from such acts as The Cross Movement, Stereo Motion, Calibretto 13, Squad 5-0, LA Symphony and Third Day, this gives us lots of spectacular stunts in an award winning extreme sports documentary. We are told in one sequence "Anthony Carney is a gangster for Jesus" and with his leather jacket and retro haircut the said Mr Carney does indeed look like he's stepped off the Starsky & Hutch set. Yet on a skateboard he's a maestro, spinning and twirling and, in this warts 'n' all film directed by Stephen Baldwin, sometimes crashing. But his best moves are spectacular. He's not alone. Bruce Crisman does things on a BMX which seemingly defy the laws of gravity. There are other extreme sports heroes including Sierra Fellers and Tim Byrne. It's the bonus features where you get the Gospel, interviews with these amazing young men giving clear testimony that Jesus saves. Other bonuses include outtakes, the Beachfest at Fort Lauderdale and a vid of the "Livin' It Anthem" by Philadelphia's posse The Cross Movement.
