MACHOTAILDROP
  • "style and eccentricity in spades...it's a visual stirring debut." - Eye Weekly
  • "the first movie about skateboarding that doesn’t suck balls" - Viceland

“Its temperament and aesthetic rep an ideal halfway between Eraserhead and Harold and Maude." - Variety

In this fantastical adventure comedy, skateboarding is not a trivial pastime of the young, but rather a noble pursuit worthy of the highest cultural recognition. In this strangely beautiful world, professional skateboarders live like knights in baroque castles, the half pipe their jousting arena and the concrete of the streets the forum for their Machiavellian tricks. Walter Rhum’s dream comes true when the 17-year-old skateboarder is selected to ride professionally for Machotaildrop, the world’s most prestigious skateboard company.
