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.
