Thrasher - Hillbilly Roadkill poster
NR

Every skater's worst nightmare turns into reality when a couple of revved-up rednecks pick the wrong gang of skaters to mess with. What started off as a close encounter turns into a deadly game of chess and we all know who's gonna win. Look in this video for insane tricks like: Kale Sandridge being towed by a motorcycle to 5-0 on top of a hawaiian vert wall. Richard Mulder's switch 5-0 shove-it. Marcus Macbride's frontside 180 heelflip over a pier 7 block. Mike Rafter's big spin frontside noseslide shove-it. And other ripping to make your eyes bleed.
