Plot Summary for Rollerboy
(2010)

Rollerboy is a feature-length documentary following the life of former world champion roller and inline skater, Jayson Sutcliffe. Having grown up on skates, roller skating is more than just a sport - it's the only way of life he's ever known. Jayson speaks candidly to former national skating champion and close friend, actress Melissa George and reveals the tenacity and determination of a young boy destined to be a champion. This film explores the camaraderie and rivalry of elite competition, the struggles and sacrifices to aim for gold and glory, about family and friendship, the search for sexual identity and the end of things...of childhood, and retirement from a life-time of skating, as well as untimely deaths.

 Doesn't sound like my kind of movie. I've seen that movie with the British lower class boy wanting to do ballet, with his father wanting him to do boxing and his pal being a transvestite. It was really good, but I really think I've seen them all now after this one.
You can smack me for my ignorance now.

Wake me up when they make a documentary and a hollywood drama about vert quads like they did with "Dogtown and Z-boys" and "Lords of dogtown".
Seriously, why would we be interested in this movie?

 Would be fun if he'd literally grew up on skates. Have you seen Edward Scissorhands? :p
