This was surprisingly melancholy and heartbreaking. I had expected some fun skater music and vintage footage and there was certainly that, thankfully, but here we get a look at someone skating hours every day because he doesn't know how to be in a family and you get several hearstopping accidents where his skating obsession almost kills him with his fellow skaters and bystanders pleading him to stop.
I've liked Sam Jones music documentaries so far too: the Wilco and Jason Isbell documentaries are as intimate as you want a look at a creative person to be. Sam Jones seems to have a way of getting the documentary subject to trust him and let him in behind the shield.
