Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The teenager and skateboarder Alex is interviewed by Detective Richard Lu that is investigating the death of a security guard in the rail yards severed by a train who was apparently hit by a skate board.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Gus Van Sant created a Myspace page for open casting calls because he wanted non-professional actors for the cast. Around 2,971 people auditioned. See more » |
| Goofs | During the scene where Alex pushes the guard who gets slashed by the trains' wheels, the guard falls backwards, so he's suppose to be lying on his back, but on the shot where Alex is standing next to him, the guard seems to be as he fell forward, and lies on his stomach. See more » |

Alex:
I just feel like there's something outside of normal life. Outside of teachers, breakups, girlfriends. Like, right out there, like outside - there's like different levels of... stuff. See more » |
