ANNOUNCER: And as Tony Hawk begins his second run

he is still ahead on points and he has had an amazing afternoon.

He is totally owning this ramp.

Everyone is totally stoked.

Today might be the day for .

Oh, but not on this run.

Tony is down, and he is fully bummed on that.

Not too happy at all.

He grabs his...

Twist, I'll trade you my pickles

for the rest of your fries.

If Sammy will swap me the pickles for his onion rings.

Only if Reggie will trade back the pickles

for the rest of her shake.

Quiet, you guys!

I'm trying to watch Tony Hawk.

ANNOUNCER: He has the potential.

He is poised up now.

There he goes.

He's going for it. He did it!

OTTO: !

ANNOUNCER [on TV]: Tony Hawk landing the .

Huh, he is pretty wicked tight.

Yeah, he rips.

Very impressive.

Now, about those pickles.

What are you talking about?

He's way beyond that!

He's the Hawk, master of all skateboarding

and someday I'm going to skate with him.

[announcer talking]

[static crackling]

We interrupt this program

for an extreme bulletin.

Skate legend Tony Hawk

vanished without a trace yesterday

amid strong rumors he's gone to the mysterious Hawk's Nest

perhaps never to skate again.

The Hawk... never... skates... again?!

Otto, it was bound to happen sometime.

No way!

I got to talk him out of it.

But he went to the Hawk place thing.

So I'm going there.

Otto, no one knows where that is.

Actually, with the right data

you can find just about anybody nowadays.

All you need is a computer.

Whoa!

Hey, my milkshake.

SAM: All I have to do is import relevant data

and perform a megascan using the major search engines.

In English, Squid!

If I type in the right stuff, we can...

[computer chiming]

There it is, the Hawk's Nest!

It's on top of the old ice factory downtown.

I'm so there.

Hold on, Rocket Boy--

that place is all the way on the other side of town.

What? Are you trying to talk me out of it?

No!

You're just not going alone.

SAM: Turn left here.

Turn right.

Turn left.

Now another left.

Down this alley.

Stop!

[brakes squeal]

What's wrong?

SAM: We're here.

[knocks on door]

[door hinge creaks]

Otto, we can't just go busting in on him.

But the door's open.

Hello. Anybody home?

Tony, I... I mean, Mr. Hawk, uh, do you mind if we...?

ALL: Whoa!

Whoa!

[yelling]

[all yelling]

Awesome!

SAM: According to my files

there's a freight elevator on the other side of the room.

You mean we have to skate through all of this stuff

to go up to the next floor?

Uh-huh.

Reggie, you say that

like it's abadthing.

It's no problem.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho.

Whoo-hoo.

Yeah.

[grunting]

Otto, wait, there's a...

[siren blares]

Too late.

Whoa!

[Otto crashes and grunts]

[siren continues]

No problem, huh?

Otto, dude, like, this is too intense.

We should go home.

[spits]

No way!

We came here to find the Hawk

and that's what we're going to do.

We can b*at this thing.

You mean like you did just now?

Wait, he's right, we can!

What?

SAM: It's just a big moving puzzle.

With the right move at the right time

we can solve it.

ALL: Huh?

Trust me.

SAM: Just remember

do exactly as I say.

Go!

SAM: Reggie, center

to a kick flip tail slide down the big rail!

Otto, McTwist a tail slide!

Twister, nollie heel flip to nose slide.

[siren stops]

It worked.

Come on over, Sammy.

Of course, it worked, huh.

Wha...

[grunts]

Whoa!

[Twister shivering]

I think the Hawk forgot to turn off his air conditioner.

Well, this did used to be an old ice factory.

Maybe Hawk's kept the machinery going

so he can practice year round.

That's great, Sammy

but where do we go from here?

Across the snow field to that lab.

Then what are we waiting for?

We ain't going to find the Hawk standing around.

Whoa!

[squealing]

Watch and learn, boys.

Whoo-hoo.

[chuckles]

OTTO: All right.

Ollie-ollie-up.

[grunts]

Oh, no!

[squealing]

[both grunt]

Squid!

[squeals]

Meet you up there.

The question is...

what's up there?

[Otto and Sam exclaiming]

Good one, brainiac.

What have you got planned next?

SAM: Panic!

[both shouting]

[grunting]

I'm worried about Squid and Otto.

Maybe we should go back and look for them.

Or maybe we should just wait righrt hee

and let them find us.

REGGIE: This place shouldn't be hard to find.

[both screaming]

[both grunting]

[both screaming]

[Sam and Otto yelling]

Do you hear something?

BOTH: Whoa!

[both grunt]

Rocky Boy! Sammy!

You're all right.

Yeah, barely...

no thanks to Squid.

[screech]

Oh, man, I don't like the sound of that.

[gasps]

Yeah!

It's the Hawk.

[machinery whirring]

Come on!

Let's bust!

[all hooting]

ALL: Yeah! All right!

Whoa!

Tony-- I mean, Mr. Hawk...

Hey, wait up.

OTTO: Hey, Tony!

Whoa!

Hey, wait up!

OTTO: Mr. Hawk!

Tony!

I mean, Mr. Hawk.

I wanted to...

Hey, wait up!

Hey, wait up!

OTTO: Tony, look out for the wall.

Whoa!

Oh, man!

[on monitor] Hawk, let me in!

I got to talk to you, dude.

There's no way to open it.

[pounding on wall]

[grunts]

I'll never get to skate with him.

Well, you tried, Rocket Boy.

SAM: I have nightmares

about places like this.

Uh-huh, that's usually how they start.

VOICE [echoes]: Who dares to enter the Hawk's Nest?

[hawk screeches]

Uh, Mr. Hawk, sir

I'm Otto and this is my sister Reggie

and my bros, Twist and Sam.

And the news guy said that you were missing

and not going to skate anymore

so I came to talk you out of it.

You're more awesome than ever.

And, uh, we... we're sorry we kind of used your stuff

but we accidentally kind of had to.

[chuckling]

Take it easy, Otto-bro.

It's cool.

I haven't quit skating.

That's just some rumor that starts up

every time I decide to take a break.

And you're pretty good, Otto.

I was checking you out.

You rip.

Really?

Thanks, Tony-- I... I mean, Mr. Hawk.

Uh, just "Tony," dude.

But the next time you come by

you can go to the front door like everyone else.

ALL: Front door?!

SAM [on monitor]: Down this alley.

Hey, Otto, before you go

do you want to skate this bowl with me?

Yeah!Go for it!

Do it, Otto-man!

Let's do it, Tony.

ALL [cheering]: Yeah! Go, Otto! All right.

Yes!

The O-Man strikes again!

All right, Otto!

REGGIE: Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

And Rocket Girl nails the five-oh!

Whoa!

Oh...!

[blows whistle]

Attention, Madtown skaters!

The official Madtown "Let's Get Radical"

Extreme Skateboard Championship is next weekend.

Contestants may either enter Street or Vert division.

Well, we all know

that we'll be signing up for:

Vert city!

Yeah, dudes--

we're going to get vertical!

What about grinding the rail

or shredding the stairs?

And what about me catching awesome air

off the pipe?

Vert is way cooler.

Vert is so not cooler.

Street skating is old-school.

It was first, therefore it is cooler.

Conroy will settle this.

You're a Street skater

right Conroy?

Well, man, I was a Street skater

but they didn't have Vert then, man.

Now I like to rip it up in both.

See?Told you!

CONROY: Okay, young Rastas

you got to line up to sign up.

Put me and Trish down for Street!

But I thought we were always Vert.

Vert! Street! Street! Vert!

GIRL: Vert!

GIRL: No, Street!

SAM: I don't know, I just can't decide.

So maybe Vertiscooler.

Then again

Street has history on its side.

Two words, Squid:

Vert rules!

Street all the way!

So, the waves are breaking in two directions today

huh, little cuzzes?

You know, in our day you were either a nose-rider

or a tail-surfer.

I liked surfing the nose

but Tito...

Sorry, brother.

I was the nose, you were the tail.

Watch this, brother!

Toes to the nose!

RAY: Anyone can do that.

Check this out!

Raymundo wails the tail!

Whoa!

[laughing]: Yeah, you're really wailing now!

TITO: I'm sure it seemed

like a good idea at the time.

[agitated]: The point is

one thing isn't always better.

Sometimes it's just different.

Like the ancient Hawaiian said:

"You can't compare pineapples and coconuts."

The point is, pineapples are better than coconuts

and Vert is better than Street.

Oh, yeah, Rocket Boy?

What about in other sports, like biking, inlining...

Vert rules all the way.

And by the time I'm through

even Squid will agree.

Tito, if we're sitting down here

who's watching the shack?

Hmm, good question, brother.

Oh-ho-ho...

Yeah, cool!

Wow!

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Catch my grind!

[laughing evilly]

Whoa-a-a!

[Sam thuds]

OTTO: Ah, Squid.

See, wouldn't you rather be in the pipe?

[groans]

TWISTER: Yeah, all right!

Vert biking rocks!

Check it out!

Zero gravity!

Whoa, whoa!

[crashing, Sam grunts]

Not exactly zero.

[tires squeal]

Street biking rules!

Ready to give up, Rocket Boy?

Admit it, you're getting bored of the half-pipe.

No way.

From now on, my life will be totally Vert

day and night.

Who's with me?

You know I am, bro.

I'm in.

Who's with the Streets?

I'm with you, Reg.

EDDIE: The prince of the netherworld

doth stand with the rebel army!

Huh?! What?!

It's Street for me.

Squid?

Well, the risk of injury

is less from a lower height so... I've decided...

Street it is!

I think.

Maybe?

[grinding]

Oh-ho-ho!

OTTO: Check it out, dudes!

[munching]

Vertical fry intake!

Check this out!

Street burger ingestion.

Mmm!

[all eating noisily]

Hmm, I'm glad to see

you're enjoying your food, little cuzzes.

[munching and crunching]

[loud munching]

[Otto grunting]

Uh...

Something wrong with your bed, Rocket Boy?

Lying down flat is Street stuff.

I need suspension!

I need air!

I sleep Vert!

Okay.

Good night, then.

[Otto grunting]

[door squeaks]

Don't tell me.

Street-sleeping?

It's... solid.

You should try it.

[groaning]

Hey, check that out.

TWISTER: The library?

Nah, man, I'm not going in there.

Not in there, onthat.

REGGIE: What you doing, bro?

Not thinking about a nice

Streetie little grind, are you?

'Course not.

That's weak.

Weak, huh?

[grinding]

Ha-ha!

Yeah!

[gasps]

Whoa!

Cool!

OTTO: You like, Rocket Girl?

[Reggie gasps, laughs nervously]

Bust!

I was just checking out your lame extension.

Guess the pipe was beginning to feel small.

Small?

How about totally awesome?

Yeah-hoo-hoo!

Yeah!

[everyone skating quietly]

[wearily]: Going to be shredding the pipe, girlfriend?

Yeah... again.

[grinding]

Oh, oh...

Ow!

Not again.

What's up with you, man?

You know the fun box is bogus.

The competition is tomorrow.

You should be training.

I know, bro, it's just

that the pipe is getting kind of tired.

But you're still Vert, right?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[grinding]

What was that about?

Oh... nothing.

Just helping Conroy with some... numbers.

[blows whistle]

The final lineup is as follows:

in the Vert division... no, let's start with Street.

No... no! [grumbling]

Okay, so many people have changed sides

I can't read the doggone list.

Okay, Rastas, let's do it like this.

Streets, you go stand over there and Verts stand over there!

[all talking at once]

What's going on?

I don't understand.

I guess I... converted?

Dude, what happened?

Twist?

Man, that half-pipe

was starting to make the library look good.

Hmm.

This is not too irie at all, man.

Why don't we just drop the division

and have one competition--

Street and Vert combined?

[all cheering]

Otto-man, Reggie, what do you say, hmm?

Come to think of it, I have been wanting to show Otto

how the half-pipe is really done.

Yeah, well, I'd like to teach you

the real way to grind a rail, Rocket Girl.

REGGIE: All right, let's do it.

ALL: Woogity, woogity, woogity, woogity!

Yeah, all right!

[rblows whistle]

Street and Vert combined!

Now I can skate to my full...

Ow!

potential.

rAwesome air, Reg!

Rad grind, bro!

Yeah!Yeah!

[all hooting and laughing]

[grinding]

[whooshing]

[grinding]

[wheels squeak]

OTTO: Awesome!
