SYNOPSIS:

The Downhill Six is a coming of age story of six young friends, who are forever changed when they meet Eric Miles; the younger charismatic brother of the popular teen sweetheart, Stephanie Miles. Eric is shorter than others for his age, but has a big heart and an even bigger thirst for adventure; and he is the only kid who has survived a ride down the mountain known as Sleeping Bear mountain. Eric recounts his first harrowing escape in a wagon and how he plans to do it again after he constructs his home made box car. His friends don’t think it’s possible and don’t believe the legend of Eric’s success. Together they build a mighty box car racer, and Eric swears he will repeat his former successful venture down the Sleeping Bear’s back.
