"I think I heard something crack."
"Oh, it was probably just my leg."
I like others lik the inspirational underdog movie. Jon Comer was just 4 years old when a 14 year old neighbor decided to take his parents car for a joy ride. He ended up running over Jon's leg a few time wich over the course of the next few years lead to amputation above the ankle.
At the age of seven Jon was fitted with a prosthetic foot and he began to skateboard and did not stop. He had two legs one for skating and one for school. He spent all of his free time skating. He bacame very good and was put on some local teams. It was only a mtter of time before his story was out. The amazing part was not ony that he was doing all of this with a prosthetic, but that this kid was really good. He not only good for a local kid, but he was good enought to go pro. He was put on a pro team. He bacame friends with some big names, like Tony Hawk. He is stil a pro skater who lives by the motto Sk8 4 fun. He continues to tour and has been on Warped Tour and many other popular skating events.
This was a good documentary about this great story. It was not the best quality, but was not done with a home video camera either. The narration was choppy, but it was narrated by a pro skater, not a professional actor. It was a good film for aspiring skaters and people who like inspiring sport documentaries.
