There have been plenty of quality biographical extreme sports docs released in the last couple years, with Jeff Tremaine’s profile of BMX godfather Matt Hoffman, The Birth of Big Air, Stacy Peralta’s loving skate team autobio, Bones Brigade, and even Tristan Patterson’s beautifully unconventional debut, Dragonslayer, but the more the merrier as far as we’re concerned. Jacob Rosenberg’s directorial debut, Waiting For Lightning, stylishly outlines the life of boundary pushing skateboard legend Danny Way by combining elements of retrospective bits with the capping of a career in Way’s attempt to jump the Great Wall of China. The cross cut story is not a complete success, but Way, like many of the skate icons who vet his story, is an enigmatic character of practiced skill and devout will, making for a compelling film filled with fledgling career footage and plenty of big air delirium.

Waiting for Lightning is another skateboarding documentary, but not just another skateboarding documentary.
The film tells the story of Danny Way, whose passion for skateboarding lifted him up to fame from being a kid from a broken home in Vista, Calif.
The visionary skateboarder garnered fans with his love of big air in half-pipes and on enormous ramps. Then he decided to try the near-impossible: jumping the Great Wall of China on a skateboard.
Waiting for Lightning is a film about how much abuse a body can take, digging deep to survive life’s challenges and flying high for dreams.
As well as Way, the movie features Travis Pastrana, Laird Hamilton, Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Mat Hofman and Ken Block.
The first feature film directed by Jacob Rosenberg, PG-13-rated Waiting for Lightning was screened in a handful of theaters,...

Teenage drummer Jake Brown made his TV debut on Born To Shine this evening.
The talented musician performed to Aerosmith’s Walk This Way on the ITV entertainment show and blew the audience away with his energetic playing and perfect timing.
The 14 year old recently made it into the finals of the British Young Drummer Of The Year competition and tonight, not only did he have to take to the stage himself, but he was also there to support This Morning’s Ruth Langsford, who he spent the last month mentoring.
She had only a few weeks to master the drums and tonight, she followed Brown on stage to perform to Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin On A Prayer.’
Before the live show, Jake admitted that Ruth had come a long way, as she wasn’t ‘very good with her timing’, and it doesn’t seem like she improved in recent weeks.

Just keep in mind, it’s a non-profit fan film, so don’t start getting all nit-picky about it, you fanboys. An American heavy weapons squad comes under heavy fire during a patrol and must fight off their German attackers to survive. Luckily, they have a secret weapon. Credits go to … Starring Kevin Brooks, Zack Finfrock, Aaron Giles, Dave Session and Jake Brown Directed/Edited/Sound Designed by Julian Higgins Cinematography and Coloring by Aaron Scott Moorhead Original Music by Dan Martinez Visual Effects by Teague Chrystie and Julian Higgins Written by Zack Finfrock,...
