Six of the world's top skateboarders each map out a new and amazing stunt as they try to determine who is the best in this over-the-top skate video. Tony Hawk tries to ride a "Bar of Fire" suspended 20 feet above the ground with no safety net. Geoff Rowley attempts an outdoor roof-to-roof jump in the middle of the night with no lights. Mike Vallely sees if he can be towed by a motorcycle at speeds up to 35 miles per hour. Eric Koston attempts to ride down three flights of stairs with a switch-heel flip. Bob Burnquist's "Loop of Death" finds him struggling to skate a full pipe upside down and switchstance. And Danny Way tries to break the world's record for longest and highest jump at the same time. Who pulls it off and who reigns supreme? Sorry, you'll have to watch the video to find out! ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
