Bobby Puleo, Pontus Alv, Stefan Marx and Adam Sello are the focus of ‘Pushed – Four Guys Inspired by a Wooden Toy’, a documentary by filmmaker Flo Schneider which looks at these four skateboarders, what skateboarding means to them and how it has influenced other areas of their lives.
Quite apart from the obviously stylish skateboarding captured, this is more a musing on the culture which ebbs and flows around the actual act of stepping on a board and how it can focus an individuals creative spark. Just what is needed as skateboarding takes a step further towards the Olympics and simultaneously the streets are more and more ‘stoppered’ against us, all hail skating for the weirdos, by the weirdos!
