The documentary series Skate Evolution illuminates the emergence of skateboarding in Germany – tells of the people who changed skating in Germany.
Skateboarding isn’t just a pastime for most people. Skateboarding is a way of life, a stance, an attitude, a way of life – and at its core rebellion. At least since the 2020 Olympics, skating has been in the process of becoming a “real”, an official sport.
Skate Evolution describes the multifaceted development of skateboarding. A story of rise, fall, re-rise, meaning, legacy and influence. The skate (r)evolution didn’t happen in one place and we dive into the world of skating with the past and present skaters – a testimony of how skating feels, from its roots to today.
