Quotes:

[Brink is late]
Peter: He'll be here. He said he'd be here.
Jordi: Maybe something happened to him. Like maybe he got hit by a car. Or maybe his dad's back starting acting up and they had to rush him to the hospital.
Gabriella: Or maybe he got kidnapped by aliens.
Jordi: Don't joke. That happened to one of my uncles.

The Best Disney Channel Original Movie

"Andy Brinker" played by Erik von Detten loves skating and is one of the best skaters in the movie and him and his friends enjoy skating for fun only. Where they call themselves "Soul Skaters" and despises people who skate for money like "Val" who is the adversary of Brink and his friends played by Sam Horrigan who skates for a company called "Team X Blades" where he gets paid to sponsor. But when Brink finds out that his dad has lost his job he decides to try out for Team X Blades so he can help out the family. But this leaves Brink with several problems. His dad does not want him skating after he got suspended for school for it. And Brink and his friends has always hated Val and his team of X Blades.

This is by far the best movie that Disney Channel has made. It's a movie that older audiences can enjoy. The movie never gets too corny like other shows on the Disney channel. The cast is great. The acting is good. Sam Horrigan(Val) does a great job acting evil which makes the movie not corny. The directing is amazing for a Disney T.V. movie. Great camera and music use. We all know Disney likes to have happy endings and yeah this one happens to have one too but it has a pretty cool intense ending. This is a movie I don't mind watching again.

Overall Rating: 7/10
