Storyline

Andy "Brink" Brinker and his in-line skating crew--Peter, Jordy, and Gabriella--who call themselves "Soul-Skaters" (which means they skate for the fun of it, and not for the money), clash with a group of sponsored skaters, Team X-Bladz--led by Val--with whom they attend high school in southern California. When Brink discovers his family is in financial trouble, he goes against the wishes of his parents and his friends and joins Team X-Bladz. Brink tries to lead a double life but will be able to pull it off?

Goofs

Before the first downhill race, there's a close-up of Gabriella as she speaks to Brink. In it, her helmet is buckled. In the next shot when she takes off, her helmet is visibly unbuckled. In the shot after that when she tucks down, her helmet is buckled again.

Rivalry between skaters

Brink is a fantastic skater, but only skates for the fun of it - which I think is a great mentality to have! That is how all hobbies should be. But of course it is hard when money is in the picture. But in the end he finds out what REAL friends are, and what kind of friend he is himself to them. A great movie, and if you know something about skating, you will love it. Great tricks are seen throughout the movie!
