Spin Me Round
HBO

Tony Hawk is of course one of the world's most iconic sporting figures, and HBO's new documentary does firm justice to his fascinating life story.

As much a study of obsession and fame as it is of Hawk himself, Until The Wheels Fall Off melds intimate access to the skater and those closest to him with excellent archive footage for a 135-minute doc that absolutely flies by.

If you're at all interested in Hawk or the art/sport of skateboarding, this is a must-see movie, finding unexpected poignance as Hawk enters middle-age and keeps on doing what he's always been doing.

Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off premieres on HBO on April 5.
