Three young skaters desperate to drop out of suburbia and land a sponsor defy the rules to take part in skateboard legend Tony Hawk's beach-bowl competition in an ollie-popping, rail-sliding tale that shows just how far a little determination and a healthy dose of persistence can go in life. As word spreads through the suburbs that 12-time world champion skater Hawk is making the rounds to scout for upcoming talent, three skilled young street sharks who know they have what it takes to make the cut vow to enter the competition at any cost. Their bid for skateboard stardom hits a notable roadblock, however, when the trio learns that not only is the competition miles away, but that their desperate determination to succeed is only exceeded by the determination of their disapproving parents and teachers to ensure that they don't venture outside of the neighborhood.
