"Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator" charts '80s skateboarding legend turned convict Mark 'Gator' Rogowski's transformation from local hero to international superstar, as big business moved in and skateboarding became a global passion. As part of an elite crew of top pros, Gator held rank with skate icons Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Jason Jessee and Lance Mountain, who in the film recall the culture shock of teens colliding with wealth and stardom. The charismatic, egocentric Gator strove for celebrity, but when styles in skating shifted, his waning fame skidded into infamy in a shocking act of violence. Six years in the making, Stoked mixes high voltage skate footage, home movies, eighties nostalgia, music and interviews to create an unforgettable portrait of an era and a man.
