Downhill Skateboarding takes extreme sports to the next level. Living on the outer limits of danger and enduarance, riders push themselves to speeds of over 100km/h. This year Australia is hosting the World Championship for Downhill Skateboarding and during November 26th-29th over a hundred of the world’s best riders will descend upon the utopia of downhill skateboarding at Mount Panorama, Bathurst for a weekend of epic competition.
Iris Pictures and Pitbull Productions are filming the event to create a series of high quality content to be broadcast in February 2010 on Bigpond TV, Bigpond Sport Mobile networks and to be distributed on DVD throughout retail outlets across the country. Ranked in the top three online destinations for Australian users, Bigpond Sport attracts 2 million viewers per month.
The content created will include profiles of top-ranked riders, an insider’s perspective on the cutting-edge technology and techniques involved in downhill skating, interviews with ambassadors of the sport and breath-taking footage of the riders during the race itself.
