Hicks on Sticks
Directed by Soren JohnstoneIn the summer of 1999, four skateboarders and two bands embarked on a life-changing tour. Yearning to hit the road and inspire kids in rural areas by exposing them to skateboarding and music, they towed a 5,000 pound portable skateboard park behind an old van with failing brakes, traveled 1,800 miles through the mountains of Western Canada, and put on 8 shows in 11 days. When their only financial sponsor dropped out, the tour continued with even higher stakes, and longstanding friendships were inevitably tested. Combining footage from the tour with recently conducted interviews, the film spans over a decade in the lives of these young men.
