More than a TV series, Concrete Circus (UK) is a moving art. It catches the soul of every urban sport it showcases without being too flashy. It celebrates dexterity, precision, and artistry instead of staged performances and dramatics.

Starred by Danny MacAskill, Paul “Blue” Joseph, Phil Doyle, Kilian Martin, Keelan Phillips, Mathieu Ledoux, Brett Novak, Claudiu Voicu, Stu Thomson, Kendy Ty, Sebastien Foucan, Bob Haro, Mike Vallely, Hans Rey, Tarek Rasouli, Julie Angel, Iain Borden. Directed by Mike Christie.
