Hop, Drop & Roll is a movie that documents three boys from VentilationX, a team of extreme sports athletes, who are on a cross-country road trip. The skateboarders, breakdancers, and tracuers (athletes who practice the art form of parkour, a movement of urban gymnastics) hopped in a van and traveled to ten cities and five national parks, documenting their adventures as they express themselves through different artistic and athletic means. In addition to capturing the extreme sports that the team practices, the boys wrestle with issues of identity and maturing as they try and come to terms with who they are as individuals within a collective. The three friends encounter a vast array of landscapes and obstacles that they attempt to overcome as they promote the company and expand it's horizons. Starting in Philadelphia, the trio visits Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, The Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, L.A., Yosemite National Park, San Francisco, Seattle, Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore, Minneapolis, Chicago, Columbus, and Niagara Falls, before returning home to Philadelphia.
The time spent exploring National Parks, and the wonders of nature contained within each, provides the group with a chance to reflect on the trip and dream about what could possibly lie ahead as each athlete challenges themselves mentally and physically. When the group reaches Los Angeles they meet up with Andre Robert Lee. Andre is a mentor and business partner of VentilationX who speaks about the group and how it stands out amidst other teens. After their time with Andre, he takes the boys to meet Cameron Shayne, the founder and creator of Budokon, a combination of Yogic, Martial, and Living Arts. They train together and exchange techniques before continuing on the journey. In San Francisco, the boys meet up with fellow team mate and friend, Cas Pokorny. They hit the streets together and film before celebrating Ben Grubb's eighteenth birthday with a professional photo shoot. T
