Hop, Drop, & Roll
Hop, Drop & Roll is a movie that documents three boys from VentilationX, a team of extreme sports athletes, who are on a cross-country road trip. The skateboarders, breakdancers, and tracuers (athletes who practice the art form of parkour, a movement of urban gymnastics) traveled to ten cities and five national parks, documenting their adventures as they express themselves through different artistic and athletic means. In addition to capturing the extreme sports that the team practices, the boys wrestle with issues of identity and maturing as they try and come to terms with who they are as individuals within a collective. VentilationX is working to stake its claim in the world of urban culture through creating a new movement that will combine different art forms and athletics under one name.
