Downhill longboarder Ishatar Backlund starts the narration to “Ishtar x Tussilago” with “I woke up with my shoulder dislocated”. The dramatic telling of a story that began so beautiful is the feeling you get when you watch her and a handful of other longboarders scale the hills of Norway in this incredible lifestyle action film. The feeling of freedom – Nothing except you, your skateboard, and the wind and vast landscapes – From endless roads and a beautifully epic soundtrack by Swedish rock band Tussilago, you can’t help but feel so connected to Ishtar and the journey she has captured on film.
