Quotes
Sweetness:
What you scared? Scared that you don't belong over here? That you are beneath us?
Xavier 'X':
No, see I'm just trying to help you save face! Cuz I would hate to see you get spanked in front of all your fans!

Young blood, you couldn't spank me if your hands were glued to my ass!
Xavier 'X':
My hands glued to your ass? I don't know, that sounds a little sweet to me sweetness!

My favorite Bow Wow movie next to Like Mike. This movie takes place in the summer of 1978, 16 year old Xavier(Bow Wow) enjoys skating and spending time with his friends, but this year has its set backs, his mother died a few months earlier, his favorite skating ring is closing down, and his father has been cold and distance from him. But one day Xavier and his friends go to another skating ring, but they are mocked by an awesome skater named sweetness and his gang. Xavier and his friends decide to enter an skate off contest to show them they're just as good. This movie had great skating scenes, and it also had great 70's music. I really enjoyed watching this movie, I loved Bow Wow's performance, I think he's growing as an actor. I can't wait to own this on DVD.
