While the take it easy of his high school graduating rank is heading to the same stale mill of college, skateboarder Eric Rivers and his A- friends, Dustin, a end-oriented workaholic, and eccentric loafer Matt clothed one last summer roadtrip together to ensure their mirage of getting noticed by the professional skateboarding cosmos--and getting paid to skate.
