Plot

Andy "Brink" Brinker and his in-line skating bros (most notably Parker Knisley and Zach "Z" Gilbert) who call themselves "Soul-Skaters" (meaning they skate for the fun of it, and not for the money), clash with a group of sponsored skaters – Team X-Bladz (Run by Matt Vaccaro). When Brink discovers his family is in financial and legal trouble, he goes against the wishes of his parents and his friends and joins Team X-Bladz for 200 dollars a week. He keeps it from his friends until they see him skating for X-Bladz in a local competition. They call him a sell-out and they stop talking to him.

Since Brink seems eager to help out the family, his dad finds him a job working at a dog grooming shop named "Pup 'N Suds." He gets an advance in his paycheck and buys new gear for the team. In the days before the competition, he meets his friends at the Brink yard and tells them of his plan to sponsor the team under the name "Team Pup 'N Suds." They accept Brink as their friend again, after hearing that he threw a milkshake in the face of Val, Team X-Bladz's captain.

As friends once again, they compete in the competition. At the end, it comes down to Brink and his rival, Val. Although Brink tries to skate fairly, Val uses dirty tricks in attempt to secure the win. These tricks work and Brink is thrown skate first into the Brink yard.

Immediately after the race, Val is fired from X-Bladz for cheating, Team X-Bladz's manager, offers Brink the captain position of the team. Being the great friend and team player he is, he turns down the offer and everyone wants the last hour and a half of their life back.
