A Vancouver classic! Machotaildrop follows an epic journey of Walter, an amateur skater who dreams to become a pro. Set in an anachronistic time and place, Machotaildrop is the greatest skateboard company of its day and the regal and grand sport of skateboarding has been thriving for many generations. Walter's journey serves as a window through which we discover the dark underbelly of what appears at first to be a benign skateboard company.
