Asphaltsurfer – Skateboarding in Germany (2010), 82 min, documentary
Director, idea, and concept: Stefan Schorer and Marco Tremiliti

Featuring Claus Grabke, Titus Dittmann, Florian Böhm, Helge Tscharn, and many others.

Featuring skate footage spanning 30 years and a wealth of interviews with influential figures from the skate scene, *Asphaltsurfer* sees Marco Tremiliti and Stefan Schorer bring the most important eras and developments in German skateboarding to the screen in a condensed format.
How is skateboarding defined in Germany? It is the fascinating story of dynamic change, of emergence and breakthrough, of heterogeneity, and the resulting diversity.
*Asphaltsurfer* rewinds to the beginnings of the ’70s freestyle contests—which seem grotesque today—races through the punk rock ’80s with half-pipe attitude, and documents the dramatic generational shift of the ’90s and the great commercial wave. Asphaltsurfer hits the mark right in the heart of every skater!
Asphaltsurfer is the history of German skateboarding.

-----------------------------------------------------

Stefan Schorer was born in Filderstadt in 1979 and has been skateboarding for more than 20 years. He completed his degree in Media and Information Studies in Offenburg with “Asphaltsurfer” as his graduation film. It is Schorer’s debut film. Stefan Schorer has lived and worked in Stuttgart since 2009.

The film is dedicated to Marco Tremiliti. He was born in Heidelberg in 1983. He studied Media and Information Studies in Offenburg. Tragically, he was unable to complete his graduation film, “Asphaltsurfer,” himself. In August 2008, Marco Tremiliti died as a result of a serious skateboarding accident. Translated with DeepL
