Carts of Darkness

Murray Siple's feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver. This subculture depicts street life as much more than the stereotypes portrayed in mainstream media. The film takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk. Shot in high-definition and featuring tracks from Black Mountain, Ladyhawk, Vetiver, Bison, and Alan Boyd of Little Sparta.



I was walking into the bushes across the walking bridge outside of the side entrance to the food court at Capilano mall after a food court Chinese combo one summer day and thought I'd find a spot to spark up a doob and came to a clearing at the end of the path where there was a hobo jungle set up with abandoned shit and banged up shopping carts everywhere.

Well no sooner did I light up than a few characters came walking down the path including the Fergie guy from the film. We said our hellos and they all sat down and passed a bottle of wine around while I hurried through my joint and hit the trail. My brush with fame.

Our own poster Skyo (retired) was king of this sport once upon a time.

SKYO was freakin’ deadly with the cart back in the day. Certainly one of the all time greats

Maybe that was Skyo passing that bottle of wine around with Fergie and the boys in the Cap Mall hobo jungle on that fine summer day
