“Don’t look back” is probably a good mantra for both rock stars and skateboarders—for literal and figurative reasons—but if you’re willing to face the past, consider this: Yeah Right! is already thirteen years old. Crazy, right? Needless to say, it’s high time that a new skate film stepped into the spotlight with as much character as that one, and what better candidate than a movie with a title that also sounds like it was yelled out by Spicoli?

Holy Stokes! is the latest skate feature from Volcom, who put several years worth of work into this one along with director Russell Houghton. Shot across the globe, the whole thing is in 4K ultra-HD and features appearances from the likes of Rune Glifberg, Dustin Dollin, and Ryan Sheckler.

For those of you in Austin, you’re in luck: we’re presenting the movie’s local premiere screening at The Sidewinder on June 1—and it’s free. Just get there early (doors open at 7 p.m.) to snag a spot and saddle up.
