America's Newest Sport (1966) Online

America's Newest Sport is a short film made for Hobie. It was about his new skateboard and skateboard team. Hobie, as he always did, figured he could design something better. He came up with flexible trucks and clay wheels which sure beat the old steel ones. His skateboard "team" was a classic bunch of kids who performed state of the art maneuvers like riding a skateboard while covered by a trash can.

A smart advertising . For skateboards, for young America, about a group of boys and their passion. Poetic, seductive, nice. One of old short films remembering games and hope and joy and simplicity of life. Nothing special . Except a sort of nostalgia about a lost age. And the admiration for the well crafted film and its makers.
