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 for 200 dollars a week. He keeps this from his friends until they see him skating for Team X-Bladz in a local competition. Brink's friends feel betrayed by Brink, and agree to a downhill race - Soul-Skaters vs Team X-Bladz (specifically Gabriella vs Brink). Val sabotages Gabriella's part of the course by sprinkling pebbles onto the road in order to make her fall and ensure a win for the X-Bladz despite the trivial nature of the street race...
