Why did skateboarders have to reinvent the wheel? How did a fin turn surfing into what it is today? And what did rock climbers have to do to ensure they didn’t fall? Before they became Olympic events, these sports had to iron out the rough spots. Featuring Tony Hawk, Emily Harrington, and Pat O’Connell.
This 20-minute bonus documentary from World Debut takes us on a fun and whimsical journey through the history of three iconic sports.
