Synopsis of SK8 The Infinity
High school student Reki Kyan has one passion:
skateboarding. When night falls, he heads to “S,” an illegal underground race
inside a mine where skaters compete in extremely dangerous situations. However,
after a loss that ends with his skateboard destroyed and his arm broken, Reki
finds himself unable to fully practice.
While working, Reki crosses paths with his new
classmate, Langa Hasegawa, a half-Canadian, half-Japanese boy with no
experience in skateboarding. Desperate for money, Langa accompanies Reki to “S”
for a task assigned by the latter’s boss. There, they get into trouble and end
up involved in a bet that forces Langa to participate in a race. However, the
mysterious transfer student has an ace up his sleeve that Reki doesn’t know
about, one that could help him win the race in the most unexpected way.
