"Thriving in Decay...?" (a skateboard and BMX documentary)

Interweaving movement and narrative, “Thriving in Decay” examines the relationship between large-scale cycles of decay and the historical development of BMX and skateboarding. Having a solid understanding of how BMX and skateboarding have been influenced in the past is crucial for their development in the future, since popular over-simplifications can easily lead participants astray from addressing those factors which matter most. . . .
