    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Filmed when the X-Games (then called X-Games 101) started becoming popular and in-line skating was the craze. Chris Edwards (Walt and skating double for Mitchell) was a well known for his X-Games appearances and was one of the members of Team Rollerblade. Ironically, Edwards' character Walt is revealed to be a poor skater in the final race, matching Wiley's performance.
    • Goofs
      After his really bad day at school, Mitchell's aunt mentions his father had come down with Poison Oak. His parents are supposed to be doing research in Australia, but both varieties of poison oak are found only in the United States.

    Certainly the best of the three movies titled "Airborne"
    A hearty kudos to director Rob Bowman for steering the ship on this rollerblady yet true to life comedy. Mitchell (Shane McDermott) is forced to migrate to Ohio when his parents move to Australia. Mitchell moves in with his aunt (Edie McClurg aka Mrs. Poole), uncle (Patrick Thomas aka another worthless Saved By The Bell teacher), and cousin Wiley (Seth Green). Mitchell is an avid surfer and the disappointment of missing out on the Australian tides surf him into a manic depression until his roller blades arrive a few weeks later via U.S.P.S. From there we move onto a Rocky like segment that has roller blading children of all ethnic backgrounds (I think) following him through the streets of Cincinatti. All this time Mitchell is being tormented by 27 year-old turned high schooler Jack (Chris Conrad)and his gang of bullies. The gang includes Augie (Jack Black in his breakthrough role) and the Banducci brothers (played magnificantly by the Betances brothers). To make a long review short, Mitchell and Wiley end up roller blading their way to chicks and popularity. I give this movie a 9/10. It would get a perfect 10/10, but did you see the video box cover......eeewwww.
