Sue Murphy

Hill Street looks at the evolution of skateboarding culture in Dublin since the late 1980s up until today. The initial inspiration behind the scene was a proprietor of a unique skate shop in North Dublin inner city – ‘Clive’s of Hill Street’.

From here, Clive Rowen single-handedly progressed the skate scene through the building of primitive ramps at the shop before graduating to a temporary skate park in the Top Hat Ballroom in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin.

The skateboarding documentary, directed by JJ Rolfe and featuring the legendary Tony Hawk, will be released in cinemas on May 23rd.
