Description
Pour Phillip, le skate, c'est toute sa vie. L'école est simplement un intermède entre les séances de skate où il essaie des sauts difficiles et déjoue les gardiens de sécurité. Lorsque son meilleur ami Wally et lui rencontrent un skater professionnel qui fait des vidéos pour son site Web, Phillip pense qu'ils peuvent faire la même chose, et faire de l’argent en même temps. Lorsque leur site Web devient populaire, et leur rapporte de l'argent, ils se sentent obligés de faire des cascades de plus en plus dangereuses.
Également disponible sous le titre Grind en anglais et espagnol comme Al límite.

Excerpt: A fond la planche!: (Grind) (by (author) Eric Walters)
Je réussis toujour les sauts. Ce sont les atterrissages qui me posent des problèmes.
