The Last Ride: A Philadelphia Story explores why Philadelphia’s underground dirt bike community is so unique to the inner city youth, and how the Cross Roads Motorsports championed for five of Philly’s best riders to represent their company on the racetracks. It features popular bikers Rell, Prince, Pupo, Jay and Mont – though the former was sadly murdered during the taping duration of the documentary.
“Last Ride narrates the challenges faced by the previous and present men and women of our generations – and the lack of resources available to develop his or her skill, drive, and vision for a professional career in Motorsports,” said Karen Civil, documentary Associated Producer.
The goal of the film is to empower young Black and Hispanic men to pursue education and explore a professional career in what their heart desires. Last Ride also examines the misguided, fatherless boys, men and single mothers who fall victim to the endless cycle.
The Last Ride: A Philadelphia Story will premiere on June 2 in Philadelphia. Check out the trailer below.
