[Groans]

Hey, dad...

The new issue of the 'zine is here.

It's the best issue yet.

Come on, raymundo.

It's all about our snowboarding trip, remember?

Earth to raymundo: the equipment column.

Hello?

Okay, okay.

Let me see here.

"Radical new equipment"-- that must be it.

"I usually use this column to talk about my brother

Crash-testing some new stuff from my dad's shop."

Crash-testing?

Just keep reading, dad.

Okay-- "but this week is..."

Reggie: different-- this week I'm going to tell you

About some radical new equipment

That I came across last weekend.

And it's definitely not available at a store near you.

We all spent the morning

Training for a big border cross race

To be held that afternoon.

Yeah!

Whoa!

Yeah!

Whoa!

All right!

Ice-ice, whoo, baby!

Hey, where's sammy?

[Sammy screaming]

Oh, no, move it!

[All grunting]

That was fun.

[Laughing]

Squid, that was awesome.

That's the most air you've ever got.

Really? Reggie, did you hear that?

Reggie?

[Spits]

Sammy, you've got to be more careful.

You could have really whomped us.

I thought iwas being careful...

Until I landed.

Look!

Cool.

All: wow.

That's when we saw them for the first time:

People with special needs skiing and snowboarding.

It was amazing.

I'm totally sure

The guys hadn't ever seen anything like that either.

Squid, don't worry.

You're not the lamest snowboarder

On this mountain anymore.

Twister, harsh!

That's not cool, man.

I can't believe you said that.

I didn't mean anything by it, seriously.

I'm sorry.

Whoa.

Look at them.

Otto: yo, check out the girl

With the metal leg.

I wonder if she bums out about her... Condition.

Otto: it doesn't look like it.

Wow.

Yo, carl, I need to warm up a little more

And get some more air before my heat this afternoon.

I'm going to split, okay?

Ah, no prob.

Have a good race, lizzie.

Thanks for helping out.

Anytime, bro-- see you.

Reggie: come on, guys

Let's follow her.

For what? I'm hungry.

I'm heading back to the cabin.

You with me, twist?

Let's bail.

Come on, sammy.

Let's follow her.

Meet you guys at the cabin later.

Wait up!

Reggie: I was in such a hurry

To find out more about the girl with the metal leg

That I didn't realize that I was already judging her.

[Yelps]

[Grunts]

Wow!

Man, she is so cool.

Hey, you know what, sammy?

I'm the lamest snowboarder on the mountain?

Besides that.

I've got to interview her.

This'll make such a hot story for my 'zine.

What's the angle?

A story about a radical snowboarding wahine

With a leg made of steel.

Whoa, I like it.

I think you're making too much out of her leg, reg.

You know, she's probably

The best handicapped snowboarder ever.

I wonder how she feels about that.

Huh?

She'd probably want to be the best snowboarder, period!

[Groans]

She never listens.

[Bubbling]

And then-- whoo-hoo!-- I dropped run-- whoa--

Into this powder bowl, doing like -- yeah-- or .

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, really?

You don't say, little cuz.

And I was tearing it up right behind him.

Okay, I was doing, like, ten or , I think.

[Panting]

You guys, I have the freshest idea.

I'm going to do an article on that girl

For my 'zine.

Did you get to talk to her?

Did you get to touch that leg?

Twister! Twister! Twister!

What?

Slow down, rocket girl.

What are you talking about?

We saw this girl today on the mountain

Who was part of a special ski school class.

She's much better than me.

Well, I think...

All: twister!

What?

I was just going to agree.

You see, dad, it's such an awesome story.

I want to find out all about her.

You know, how she feels

About being a rad handicapped snowboarder.

Handicapped snowboarder?

Reg, I'm not sure that's the right way to put it.

What do you mean?

Let me try, brother.

Little reggie, I used to know a great old surfer

By the name of leonard "the lizard" brady.

He was one of the best surfers around

Until he lost his eyesight.

Tito: we used to think, "poor leonard"

Because he used to just soak up the rays all day

While we fought it out in the crowded lineup

Trying to catch waves.

Aloha, cuz.

Aah, the surf stinks.

Don't worry.

You're not missing anything, brother.

Then one day, when the sun set and it got dark

Leonard surprised everyone and paddled out into the surf.

It didn't make any difference to him, light or dark

Because he was blind!

He was just living out every surfer's dream:

Great waves and no crowds.

He didn't let anything hold him back

From living his life to the fullest.

In fact, he used it to his advantage.

That's it.

She's making the best of a bad situation.

Whoa, my race is in a half an hour.

Wish me luck.

Later.

No, wait! No, wait!

I don't think she got it.

Neither did i.

You never get it.

[Grunting]

What?

No way.

She's racing against me?

Calling all racers

For heat number one.

Must focus.

Lizzie:hey...

Good luck, girl.

Uh, hi.

[Giggles nervously]

[Growls]

Yow!

Uh... Break a leg.

No, no, I didn't mean that.

I'm sorry.

Oh, man.

Oh, that's cool.

No worries.

This thing's pretty unbreakable.

Everyone, take your marks.

Hey, here we go.

[Horn honks]

Otto: she's in the lead!

Look who's right behind her.

Fans:whoa!

Ray: go, reggie.

Tito: go, little rocket cuz!

[Groans]

[Cheering]

What was that all about?

Did she wipe out on purpose?

Reggie totally tanked it so one-leg could win.

We all saw it, little cuz.

We all saw it.

And you got to start choosing your words more carefully.

W-what's up, guys?

Why did you do that?

Yeah, why'd you beav it on purpose?

What do you mean?

I... I caught an edge.

Tell it to the big screen, reggie.

Mount baldy-vision doesn't lie.

Think she noticed?

What do you think?

[Groans]

Oh, man.

She looks so mad.

I don't blame her.

Hey, think that leg's hollow?

Twister! Did I ever tell you the story of the little cuz

Who asked one too many questions?

Yeah.

He got...

Oh.

[Twister giggles sheepishly]

Hey.

Hey?

Why did you do that?

What do you mean?

Oh, that.

I... I...

Let me guess.

You thought I'd feel better about myself.

Uh, no.

I just thought you winning and all

Would make a great story for my 'zine.

And I win races all the time.

I didn't think you...

That's right.

You didn't think... At all.

Look, I win races all the time

And not because other peopleletme win.

I just want to be treated like everyone else.

I'm sorry.

And don't be sorry-- just be fair.

Sor... Okay.

So how do I do that?

We race again.

You're on.

I'm reggie.

I'm lizzie.

Get ready to lose, lizzie.

Oh, I think you'll be the one

Doing the losing, reggie.

Wow, that's some radical equipment

You got there.

You got that right.

Lizzie, this is sam;

My brother, otto, and this is twister.

Is that your only one, or do you have a spare?

[Others gasp]

I've got a bunch, but I've outgrown them.

Can I have one?

[Laughing]

I'm serious!

What's it made of?

Lizzie: what do you think it's made of?

Titanium steel alloy?

Wrong-- next question.

Does it ever rust?

Not yet.

Can you kick someone

In the tushy with it?

Sure... You want to see?

No.

Lizzie: "I learned a lot from lizzie last saturday;

"We all did.

"It's like I always say:

"'It doesn't matter what kind of rad equipment you have

If you don't have the guts to use it.'"

Yeah, but do you have the guts to race me?

You're on!

[Laughing]

Otto: yeah!

[Hooting]

Yeah!

Heads up, twist!

[Groaning]

Ow.

Hey, otto, you better not be stinking up that pipe like that.

Skate and shredis coming for a big photo sh**t

And you are my star skater.

Skate and shred magazine?

Only the greatest skateboarder magazine

In the history of the known universe?

That's the one!

So you better get that new move down, and quick!

You got it, conroy, and thanks.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Come on, sammy.

Oh.

[Hooting nervously]

[Hooting]

Whoa.

[Spits]

Whoa.

Hey, reg, take a look at this shell.

I've never seen a shell like this before.

It could be worth something.

Really?

Whoa!

[Otto grunts]

I hate spelling tests.

They remind me of math tests.

You can do it, little cuz.

Just focus.

All right, here's an easy one: "hydrant."

H-i...

Y...

H-i-y...

H-y...

H-y-i-y?

[Groans]

Why don't you take a little break

And look your words over?

Check my new move, raymundo.

[Groaning]

After the practice run, I mean.

Look what sammy found at the beach.

Sand?

No, this really cool shell.

Well, what do you know?

It's a tunichella shell.

I'm not going to even try to spell that.

It's believed to be an ancient symbol of good luck.

Tito: an ancient waterman was paddling a canoe

And the storm was so bad even the fish were frightened.

But then he saw a shell sitting on the floor of the canoe.

It reminded him of his lovely beach at home.

Suddenly, he found the strength to paddle all the way to shore.

He believed it was the shell that gave him strength.

And to this day, this shell is supposed to bring good luck.

Sweet-- now we have a good-luck charm.

See if it works, otto man.

Give me it.

[Laughs]

Get ready to rip!

Whoa!

Yeah!

[Hooting]

[Cheering]

Man, otto!

Whoa, it really works!

[Hooting]

Awesome!

See?

The shell is even helping the squid surf better.

Did you ever stop to think

That I might be getting better on my own?

No.

Actually, he is getting better.

He's been hanging with me

While I practice for the surf contest.

No way!

It's got to be the shell.

Incoming!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Right on!

Oh, my gosh.

[Kissing]

Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Look at that tube!

Whoa.

The squid got barreled.

Go, sammy!

[Grunting]

Dude, I was... In the wave!

That was like almost double overhead.

[Kisses]

Thank you.

[Kisses]

Thank you, thank you.

That shell-- man, you were awesome.

Come on, you guys.

Sammy's a good surfer.

It wasn't the shell.

Oh, yes, it was!

Give me that.

I got a spelling test tomorrow.

Huh?

I can't believe it.

Most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Wait a minute-- are we messing

With forces beyond our control?

I aced the test!

"Aced": a-c-e-d.

Me, twister: t-w-i-s-t-e-r.

Twister, enough.

I got every word right--

Even: "pneumonoultramicroscopic- silicovolcaniconeosis."

That's a miracle.

Makes a total believer out of me.

I owe it all to my little friend.

Thanks, shelly.

Hey! Don't forget who found it.

I'm not kissing you.

Otto: with this shell, I could be

Skateboarding's youngest world champion.

I can see it now:

Dr. Twister rodriguez, total genius.

Oh, give me a break.

There are limits even to miracles.

[Clears throat]

Excuse me, hello?

Remember, I'm the one that found the lucky shell.

Yeah, so?

Aren't you going to share it?

Well, I was going...

You bet he is.

I call the shell for my surf contest tomorrow.

No way.

I got dibs first.

No way!

[Bickering]

Cool it, you guys.

That shell is going back in the ocean

If you don't simmer down-- got it?

All: got it.

You know...

I have that golf tournament next weekend.

Aah, never mind.

So, we got to think of a fair way to share this.

Well, there are four of us

So we could each get the shell every four days.

Cool-- let's "rock-paper-scissors"

To see who gets it first.

Once, twice, sh**t.

Paper covers rock, and reggie is the winner.

Whoo-hoo!

I get it first.

Once, twice, sh**t.

Rock smashes scissors.

Number two-- I can hang with that.

Thanks, rock.

Twister: "no problemo."

Once, twice, sh**t.

Aw, man!

Go, reggie, go, reggie.

I'm lucky.

It's my birthday.

All right, yeah.

Whoa.

[Grunts]

I need that shell.

You better perk up, little man.

Skate and shredmagazine coming tomorrow.

I know, I know.

I have to get that lucky shell.

You go watch whatever you want on tv, reg.

I'll take care of cleaning up.

You can't have the lucky shell.

Can't your only brother in the whole wide world

Just do something nice for you once in a while?

You can't have the lucky shell.

Butskate and shredmagazine

Is doing a big sh**t at madtown tomorrow.

It's my shell for hours.

Please, reggie, or I'll never nail my move again.

It's the only thing that helps--

I've got to have that shell.

No way!

[Grunts]

[Yells]

[Plate smashing]

Sorry, dad.

Clean the meat loaf off the wall, please.

[Toy squeaks]

[Dog barking outside]

[Rooster crowing]

Reggie: otto!

You can name that move after me, baby.

Here, check this one out.

[Grunts]

That wasn't supposed to happen.

Oh, no.

The lucky shell is gone.

You're in t-r-u-b-l.

[Groans]

I can't believe he took the shell!

And my heat starts in ten minutes.

Okay, little bro.

I don't have time to whomp you now

So I'll save it up for later.

Give me that shell.

Um, uh, uh, uh...

He lost the shell.

You what?

You stole it from me and you lost it?!

You little dork!

I'll never win that heat now.

I didn't mean to, reggie.

It just happened.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, maybe tito knows

Where we can find another one

Before your race begins, reg.

Sammy, you rule!

Otto, you don't.

All: tito!

Tito!

Let me guess--

You need a new tunichella shell?

There's a stand right over there that shells them.

You mean people can buy lucky shells?

Of course.

Don't you remember that story I told you

About the ancient hawaiian in the storm?

Yeah, that shell gave him

The strength to paddle in.

No, the shell only helped him

To find the strength within himself.

Some people believe that's what luck really is.

Think for a second.

What did you do when you thought the shell had lucky power?

I grabbed it and I closed my eyes

And tried to feel the force.

That's what I did.

Hey... Me, too.

We were all concentrating on what we wanted to do.

Still doesn't explain me.

You studied hard, little cuz.

I guess we made our own good luck happen, huh?

Well, reg, you better start making it again

Because you're up.

Got to go.

Thanks, tito.

Bye. Aloha.

Let's go.

Whoo-hoo!

[Cheering]

It was your shell to begin with, squid.

Sorry we kind of took over.

That's cool, dude.

I can't believe we thought it was actually lucky.

How many can I buy with this?
