Over two days in July you will finally get your chance to be a part of the Big Push.

Two days of filming with two days to edit. Create your team, plan your route and show the pro’s how the real street urchins do it!
The rules are simple you can start and finish any time between 12pm on Friday night till 12pm on Sunday. In this time you have to rip through at least two cities and make as hot an edit as you can! Your full team needs to be present at the start of filming and at the end.
Anyone sneaking off or chipping in halfway through gets the boot and your whole edit won’t count.

All entries must be received by 5pm July 23rd.
The entrant’s individual edits will be hosted online at documentskateboard.com and like the real Big Push you will all cast your votes. Each of the top three finalists will receive a top of the range Sony Cybershot camera and a box of Document goodies, but above all the chance to win in the first DIY, BIG PUSH!
