Professional skateboarder John Rattray takes a trip back to his hometown of Aberdeen in Northern Scotland, where skating in the December weather is no easy task. Fortunately, these days there's a new indoor skate park to keep out the winter chills. Back in California where he now lives, John meets up with fellow Scotsmen Stew Graham to go skateboarding and ends up slalom skating for the first time. John then invites friends Rick McCrank and Keegan Sauder on a road trip around California, jammed pack with camping and skating. After meeting up with pool legend, Steve Alba, the trip turns in to a quest to find more pools and bigger bowls.
