Daewon
Daewon Song's path runs from a broken home in South Korea to the streets and skateparks of Gardena, California, where he became one of street skateboarding's most influential figures. The film traces his early years, his adoption into skateboarding culture as a teenager, and his rise through the ranks of professional skating, including the technical tricks like the hard-flip that helped define his style. Interviews and archival footage chart his role in what the skating world calls a revolution in trick innovation, and his eventual induction into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. Fellow skaters and collaborators describe his discipline and the years of repetition behind moves that look effortless on video. The film treats Daewon's story as one of resilience built from a difficult upbringing, following him from an unknown kid on a board to a name that shaped how modern street skating looks and moves.
