adventures. But before he can dream big, his mother Mary Jane and fiancée Amanda corner him in the 1857 farmhouse kitchen with a not-so-subtle message: renovate.
Outside, a massive 12-foot vert ramp is rising from the pasture - a surprise build for skate legends Tony Hawk and Kevin Staab. As the crew races to finish construction, Tom introduces us to farm life: Fanny the mule, Kiah the donkey, and horses Alora and Aria.
When Tony and Kevin arrive, they sit down with Tom to reflect on the early outlaw days of skateboarding and how the sport evolved into a global phenomenon. Then, with neighbours gathered and cameras rolling, the ramp comes alive. The tricks are huge; the crowd goes wild - and the farm becomes the most unexpected skate park in Canada.
