Jeff Ford, Five's managing editor and director of acquisitions and drama, said: “They are a real high energy treat for enthusiasts and a great glimpse into alternative sports for everyone.”
Brendan Kelly, head of television at Black Diamond, said: “In the wake of the current increase in the television audience’s interest in extreme and action sports programming we are delighted to be working with Five in making these classic titles available to the mainstream for the first time.”
Recently licensed by the make skewed cab/sat entertainment channel FX, Five is giving ‘Step Into Liquid’, its terrestrial premiere.
Also in the package, ‘The Endless Summer’ from the same producers of ‘Step Into Liquid’, charts the adventures of two young American surfers and their search for the perfect wave.
Meanwhile, ‘Chlorine’ takes a look at the world of hardcore backyard pool skating.
