I just came across the most incredible documentary on YouTube called "Carts of Darkness" directed by Murray Siple and hosted by the National Film Board of Canada.

To tell you what it's about without really telling you what it's about: it's a documentary that depicts the lives of downhill shopping cart racers in Vancouver.

Carts of Darkness (2008) 1h 00min Carts of Darkness is a documentary film by Murray Siple about a group of homeless men in North Vancouver, who use shopping carts to collect bottles and cans to return for money and also race down the city's steep slope for thrills. The subjects in the film control the carts using only their weight and one foot, during descents that cross intersections, with top speeds claimed to be as high as 70 km/h. Siple, a former director of extreme sports videos and an avid skateboarder and snowboarder, became a quadriplegic after a car accident in 1996. His first film after his accident, Carts of Darkness allowed the filmmaker to regain the excitement he had experienced with extreme sports and to relate to a fellow group of outsiders.
