J frozen in silence

j facing it alone

j gotta keep my cool, make 'em think I'm made of stone

j it's a game of wills we're playin'

j our nerves are made of steel

j balanced on the edges of everything we feel

j it's gonna take all we've got

j just to make it through this night

j gotta feel it right through my skin

j and it's cutting like a knife

j gettin' ready to break the ice

j feels like time is standing still

j aiming right for your heart

j ready to take another spill

j only you can make it right

j you can break the ice inside of me

J a single-minded passion, a solitary stand

j I thought I was alone, left out in the cold again

j so I'm giving you all I've got

j I'm gonna make it through this night

j and even though I could fall

j I'm prepared to lose the fight

j gettin' ready to break the ice

j feels like time is standing still

j aiming right for your heart

j ready to take another spill

Here you go, two for ya.

- Thanks, baby. - Good there.

Okay.

Okay dudes, let's walk this sucker.

All right!

The porch, I've told you a million times, the porch!

Have a nice day!

Mafnana, Toto.

Aw, shit!

If you guys don't shut up,

I'm gonna tell your father tonight.

Hoo, gnarly!

Dan, how's the fishing?

Same as always.

See you tomorrow!

Hurry ma, he's coming!

Where is she?

Hey, good lookin'!

Thanks, cru!

I didn't know I was running a racetrack

for them funny-lookin' bicycles.

Beam me up, Scotty!

Come on, move!

Oops!

The world would be a lot better off without kids!

Only missed it by five minutes, cru.

Yeah, I know, but when I get it I'm gonna shoot for 7:10.

Bye, Ms. grey.

I mean, what more do you want?

Ucla, smu, Yale, Harvard.

Out of the way, everybody!

Yes, cru, show time!

Look out, below!

Now that's one juvenile asshole.

Look out!

Heads up!

You creep!

Hey!

Hey, dude.

Hey, there's your fantasy, studly.

Fantasy?

Katie and I are like special.

Oh, special love!

I'll see you after school.

- Okay, we're there, dude. - Bye bye.

Come on.

- Hey, Katie, hold on. - Hey, Katie, isn't that cru?

Yeah, my biggest mistake ever.

I'll see ya later.

Hold on.

Damn it.

And without further ado, our partner in helltrack

and President of the federation of American bicyclists

and owner of the mongoose bicycle company, Mr. Duke best!

Thank you, mayor Jenkins, for your wonderful introduction.

And thank you, you wonderful citizens of Cochrane

for allowing us to share with you

this beautiful city and community.

This could be mutually beneficial to all of us.

That, Mr. best, is what we're counting on.

And I publicly wanna thank you, Mr. timmer,

for your enormous contribution in this venture,

in helping make helltrack a reality.

And I assure you we will not disappoint you.

You really must understand, Mr. timmer,

that, well, a race such as helltrack

has never even been attempted in bmx history,

but when you put up $100,000 and a new corvette,

you're gonna have all the top factory riders right here.

Think about it!

TV cameras in every corner of the town

showing on network television the spirit of Cochrane

and of course my bicycles.

Excuse me.

Not to put a damper on the spirit of things,

but I wonder how our kids are going to feel

when hundreds of outside youngsters take over their town

and they're not allowed to race in their own backyard.

Hey, just a minute.

Trust me, Mrs...

Grey.

Mrs. grey.

See, most of our factory riders are professionals.

That matter, you don't have to worry at all.

They're respectful and fair.

As far as the local youth are concerned,

well, we'll see that that's taken care of.

We will hold a...

Qualifying race...

And I will put up...

$10,000 for any local youth who can qualify

and run in helltrack regardless of whether or not

he wins helltrack!

It's a deal.

Mayor.

Very nice.

J you gotta be strong, right down to the wire

j to redemption where it belongs

j we're caught up in the crossfire

they say this guy Bart Taylor

is gonna walk helltrack.

If I was eligible, it'd be no contest.

I hear you talkin' but I'm not believin'.

This Bart dude, he ain't so awesome.

What do you think, cru?

I don't know.

It's gonna take a radical miracle to beat this guy.

Oh, sergeant Smith, and he wants to play.

Then we'll play.

Wonder who he's goin' for today, huh?

I don't know.

Hey, I'll bait him, okay?

All right, dude.

J you never may know if you're in or you're out

j you better fit in when the folks around get strange

j let me show you the way

j you never may know if you're up or down

j you're not sure what it's all about, just get strange

hey!

J if you're born in a bad sign

j let me tell you Venus is a friend of mine

j she said don't get boring just get strange

j 'cause you will

J get strange

j get, get, get

j get, get, get strange

J the people are talking, you give 'em a show

hey!

J and they ask for more

j the people are lonely, they're lookin' for love

j they wanna get news of the stars above, get strange boy

j what you waiting for

j if you're born in bad sign

j let me tell you Venus is a friend of mine

j she said don't get borin' just get strange

j watch how the heads are turnin'

j get strange

You shoulda seen the look on skinhead's face

when I came by that fence!

You shoulda gave him a run for his money!

Maybe next time he'll chase me.

Hey, dude, we're going ass sliding.

Wanna come?

No, ass sliding with you guys?

I've been waiting for my ass sliding with somebody special!

Oh, like who, Katie?

Well, maybe.

But anyway, I gotta pick up Wes at school.

All right, see you tomorrow.

- Okay. - Catch you later, dude.

Come on.

Hey Dwight, do I start it over here again.

Hey, you guys shouldn't be wasting meal ya know.

Come on, Wesley, we're havin' lots of fun.

Check outta town, Jack.

Waiting for your brother, Wesley?

No, you blimp, I'm meditating!

You think your brother's so cool.

He's nothin' next to Bart Taylor.

He is so.

And if you don't take that back,

I'm gonna punch your lights out.

Wesley, nice young girls don't talk that way.

You know you don't mean it.

I'm gonna kick his...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hot shot, hot shot.

Come here. - Cru!

Yeah, Wes, hop on, come on, we'll get outta here.

See ya, Ms. kirst.

Cru, you were late.

Hey, forget that.

What was that terrorist act all about back there?

It just bums me out how the stupid kids

think Bart's so rad.

You're better than him.

And if you could race, you'd show him.

Wouldn't ya, cru?

I don't know, that Bart guy's pretty good, Wes.

Bullshit.

Ugh, mom's not here.

Come on, let's go faster.

Hey, Wes, how about a shower?

What are you doing?

No, cru, no. - Yes, Wesley, yes.

No, I'll do the dishes for a week, two weeks, no!

Ooh, Wes, wasn't that fun?

Like a root canal.

- Hi, mom! - Hi, mom!

Hi, kids!

Hey.

Hop off, hop off.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

How you doing? - Hi, sweetheart.

- Hi, mom. - Hello.

I gotta go, I'll see ya. - Okay.

As a big strong guy, I'll take 'em for ya.

Thank you.

Did you have a good day at school?

Yeah, great.

I kicked a kid in the shins.

Ah.

You guys finished yet?

Wes.

I gotta talk to mom alone, okay?

Take a hike.

Give me a break, cru.

I'm 10 years old and I'm staying right here.

- Out! - No!

Okay, okay, then just don't say a word, huh?

Cru's gonna try qualifying for helltrack.

Okay, that's it.

Oh, come on.

I'm gonna croak in here!

And you'll be sorry!

Isn't this the day you're supposed to make up your sats?

I know, mom, but...

But what?

You always wanted to go to college, that's been the plan.

This is a very important race.

Would you look at the stakes here?

Besides, I really think I can get this one.

I think I've got a chance.

You have a chance with an education.

I know about that mom but dad always told me

when your gut talks to you, you listen.

Oh Christopher, that won't wash with me.

Just because he's dead doesn't mean anything has changed.

I know, mother...

Look, I don't wanna hear anymore about it!

I bet dad woulda understood.

Oh, shit.

Put your eyes on this baby, I'm bad, yoo!

All right, Luke!

Oh no!

We've had it, man, let's go.

Yeah, you've been practicing all day

and you still haven't got it.

Why don't you give up?

I'll get it if I can keep from getting dizzy.

You're always dizzy.

It's terminal.

You guys go ahead, I'm gonna stay and practice.

You're hopeless, man.

See you at the parade, if you survive.

That's 99.

Hey, Louise, can I have a ride?

Hey, Louise, you get to keep the car?

Come on, Louise!

- Hey, Wendy! - Hi, guys!

Ooh, baby.

- Bart! - I love you, Bart!

Helltrack, in this hick town.

They've gotta be kidding, this is a joke.

Oh boy, this is some parade, Burton, some parade!

Mm-hm, and it's gonna lead us to a lotta profit.

That's exactly what we're countin' on.

Mm-hm, mm-hm.

Hi, grandpa!

I'd love to get one of those hats, huh?

Look, it's Ramona.

Yeah, one quick stop and that boy's history.

He's so cute.

All right, let's check it out.

A little zigging and zagging.

This is a big town we're rolling in here, huh guys?

I'm surprised the main street's even paved.

Come on, give 'em a wave.

- How you doin"? - There's a couple cute girls.

Maybe the only two in town.

I'll be back in a minute, fellas.

Hilar.

Hey, Bart, all right!

Parades about ready to get out of here.

I don't know why we even stopped.

Did you give Christian a little aa?

- Aa? - Yeah.

Attitude adjustment?

You know, I'm gonna have to talk to Duke.

She just doesn't fit into our team anymore, you know?

You'll all have to move, this is so un-American.

I have to get through, I'm late, my cake's in the oven.

Young man, can you do anything for me?

Come on, I'll help you out.

Oh, you're such a nice boy!

Thank you!

Thank you, young man! No problem.

All right guy, let's move over.

Whoa!

Come on.

Hey, guys.

Thank youl!

Hey, cru, we got company!

Look out!

All right!

Have you seen a kid on a bike?

Yeah, lots of 'em.

Have a nice day, officer.

Hey Katie, watch this.

Katie, check this out!

God, you're easy to impress.

This one you'll love.

Hey, hey, wait!

Not too shabby, huh?

Immature is more like it.

Give me a break.

Are we goin' to the dance tonight or what?

I'll be there.

Well, great, rad, I'll pick you up at eight, huh?

What makes you think I'm going with you?

Why not?

And you'll pick me up how, on that dumb bike?

Yeah.

Sure.

J baby, come back

j baby, come back

well, Coop, what do you think?

Great!

Yeah, just the shot in the arm Cochrane needed, aye?

Yeah.

Morale has never been higher.

Your reelection should be a cinch.

Well, thanks to you and your friend best.

Mm-hm.

Don't take this the wrong way, Burton,

but what's all your interest in this bicycle stuff?

A good feeling, Mr. mayor.

A good feeling!

Speaking of good feelings, gentlemen,

let's step down to the punch bowl

and let me wake up those drinks!

Don't mind if I do!

J ooh yeah, come back

I like doing business with ya, Burton.

You're a man of your word.

Best track I've ever seen.

My end was easy.

I don't want it wasted!

Now it's up to you!

Oh man!

It's stupid.

Hey, check out the interior.

Yeah.

- Woo hoo hoo! - Nice!

J music that you can dance to

Back up, babe, and take that nerd with you.

Come on, come on, how about a little space here!

You out.

Come on, tiger, let's go!

- Go Bart go! - Tiger!

Bart Taylor and his troops are gonna shake it up.

This has gotta be hot!

J outside the world is colder

j so what's it gonna be

j a symphony tonight

- oh, kiss me next! - Me too!

J every day, every night

Go ahead!

Hold everything, it's Christian hollings.

A little early with the act, aren't ya?

Could've showed some respect and at least

wait till I was done dancing.

Could it be that she and Bart

are gonna bicycle boogie for ya?

Excuse me.

I hope so!

Christian, just give me the sigh when you're set to jet.

Cru, cru, cru!

What happened to my eyes?

That is not Bart Taylor.

Well, let's see what he can do.

J do you believe in heaven above

j do you believe in love

j don't tell a lie, don't be false or untrue

j it all comes back to you

j open fire, I'm burning hot

j I've never been lucky in love

j my defenses are down, the kiss are a frown

j I can't survive on my own

j if a girl walks in cross her name in my heart

j I'll turn and run away

j everyday we've all been lead astray

who is that kid?

I don't know.

What factory is he with?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

It's your job to know.

Find out.

J send me an angel, send me an angel

j empty dreams can only disappoint

j and run behind your smile

j but don't give up

J it gets in your eyes, it's making you crack

j don't know what to do, don't know what to do

j looking for love, calling heaven above

j send me an angel, send me an angel

j right now

j right now

j send me an angel

j send me an angel

J right now

Coming by later?

- Yeah! - We'll see you there.

- Okay. - You bet!

J send me an angel, send me an angel

j right now

j right now

j send me an angel right now

j right now

j right now

You love it, I love it.

Come on, Christian!

You can shake it for us one more time!

J I need to rock and shake to the music in my soul

hey, pop!

Yes, sir, Mr. Taylor.

Hey, what do you gotta do to get a table around here?

Have one for you in a minute, sir.

Come on, come on, come on.

Do we get a table or do we leave?

Have one right away, sir.

Isn't exactly the ritz.

Oh my, should we be honored?

It's the king and his court.

I'll take the court, both of 'em.

Idiot!

Hey, take it easy, it's all right.

Whoo, scary.

Won't take a moment.

- Hey, what's this? - New rules!

Hey, it's bogus.

It's still the rules.

- Give me a break. - Let's get outta here.

This way please.

Cru? - Yeah.

- Clean up here. - Yeah.

Ladies.

Hi.

Hi.

Come on, cruiser, I'm bettin' on ya!

This is the easiest money I ever made.

Pay up, ya big goon.

You know, you're letting your body turn your head!

See, if you let your head lead,

your body will just follow naturally.

- Really? - Mm-hm.

And besides, if you do make it and those mattresses

are there, they're just gonna cause you to wipe out.

What are you, nuts?

No guts, no glory.

Luke.

Take the mattresses out.

It's your butt, pal.

What's left of it.

He's dead.

Wipe out.

Gnarly.

You over rotated.

No shit.

1 didn't get a chance to thank you

for the dance last night.

You're welcome.

You took off so quick I thought maybe there

was something about me you didn't like.

No, no, that's not it.

You know, you're really pretty good on that bike.

You picked up that move like that.

Well, I didn't have much of a choice, did I?

So you gonna ride helltrack?

No.

I kinda wish I could but I still race for trophies.

See, my factory sent me here

for kind of a show and tell thing.

You know, this really is beautiful.

Yeah.

Bet you have a lot of fun around here.

Fun?

You wanna see fun?

Here, follow me.

It's bad!

This is what?

This is ass sliding.

J I have a dream and it's probably crazy

j but crazy is nothing new

j no, the big surprise would be what if my dream came true

j it's just a day kinda dream

j but it's growing stronger the longer I stay with you

j girl it's taking hold of me

j making me think it could really come true

j with you by my side, who can say what stroke of luck

j might strike today

hey!

J the carefree clown who keeps turning the heads

- what is it? - Oh!

You know, I've been all over the world,

and I don't think I've ever seen such beautiful country.

Yeah, it's nice.

Never been any place else though.

- Really? - Yeah.

Where you gonna

go to college? Did you go to college?

I guess you are, huh? - Yeah.

How 'bout you?

Well, I plan to but qualifying

is the same day that my sats are on.

So?

You know, maybe it's a mistake to give up college

to try to qualify.

Besides, those pros are awesome.

Well, yeah, they've had lots of training,

they've had lots of experience,

but you know, there is something

about the way you ride, it's so natural.

I just think it's incredible.

Really?

Took me six months to learn to air walk.

Took you one afternoon.

And besides, you don't have to give up college.

My sister took six months off

and then she went back to school, it didn't hurt her.

Hey.

If I try to qualify, will you be there?

Hey.

Late again, cru?

Oh, excuse me, blob, I don't have a watch.

Bob, the name's Bob not blob, smartass.

That's what you get when you hire a boy to do a man's job.

Hey, cruiser, how's it goin' guy?

You're gonna do it?

You're gonna try to qualify?

Get that, the paperboy thinks he's a pro.

Hey!

It ain't worth gettin' fired over.

- Cru? - Be quiet.

You're trying to forge mom's name?

Helltrack will freeze over, mom will be home,

and you still won't have it right.

- Let me do it. - No way!

I'm not letting my little sister start in

on a life of crime.

Give me the pen.

Well, you little shit!

I've been here killing myself for two hours.

Where the hell have you been?

Brushing my teeth.

Can I borrow your headphones?

Yeah, they're in that second drawer over there.

Thanks.

Five, four, three, two, one, go.

Good afternoon, everyone, this is bill Johnson.

We're here for the biggest and most important

bicycle motocross event ever held, helltrack.

The very finest riders in the country are here,

riding for some $100,000 and a Chevrolet corvette.

Now later this week you will see the bmx helltrack finale,

but for today, it's qualifying, the qualifying rounds.

Prior to it, it's our great pleasure

to bring you the man who's responsible for all of this.

The founder of the federation of American bicyclists, fab,

Mr. Duke best.

Duke, a real pleasure to have you with us, sir.

Well, well, thank you, bill.

It's my pleasure.

Well, tell us now, what is the concept behind helltrack?

Well, you see, bill, we decided that we needed our

very own super bowl, so we hired the very best experts

to build and design a track that combines the different

styles and skills of bmx racers and freestylers.

It's never been done before, you know.

Until we came to helltrack.

Exactly.

Helltrack.

But considering we have all the top participants

of the factory riding in this one, I wouldn't exactly.

I wouldn't exactly bet the house

on any newcomer winning this one.

Well, thank you, Duke.

For hell... - Bill.

Bill, let me explain the rules.

That's a little unusual.

Oh, he has them right...

Each participant will run three qualifiers

to get to the big one.

Each race will get tougher as lesser experienced

riders are eliminated.

And the 20 racers with the best time

will have the opportunity to race helltrack!

Well, right now let's meet some of the top bmx racers.

Right, right, and right there, right there,

the most proud one of all is, right there,

the number one rider, the Ace bmxer of all time,

my man, Bart Taylor.

J you're taking a chance, risking it all

j for the thrill of the moment

j taking a stand, you ain't gonna fall

j and you've always known it

j they're dying to shake you

j trying their best to break you

j and though the goal is rough

j you're going home as a hero

j 'cause there's thunder in your heart

j every move is like lightning

j it's the power you feel

j when you get your taste of the glory

j the fire gonna start

j and you know they're goin' under

j you can light the dark when they

j hear your heart of thunder

Bart Taylor making quick work of heat one.

Winners transfer directly to the $100,000 finale.

The Reynolds twins will be second and third.

They'll move to heat three.

- That was my big shot. - Come on, don't you think

you should be getting ready now?

He is, he's already barfed twice.

Ew! - Riders for heat two

in the line, riders for heat three into the staging area.

- Good luck, cru! - Come on, sweetheart.

In heat three, 17-year-old cru Jones

will give local fans something to cheer about

as he goes up against some of the sports best.

- Goddammit, cru. - Jones adds some down home

flavor to these races.

He says he gained his experience delivering newspapers.

Hey Bob, come here.

Look at that.

Ain't that the kid you work with?

Yeah, I hope he gets his butt kicked.

Come on, Bob, lighten up, huh?

Come on, cru!

The Reynolds twins with a great hole shot go out in front.

Slow off the line is cru Jones.

Come on, you big goon!

You can go faster!

Come on, cru, let's go!

J you're taking a chance, risking it all

j for the thrill of the moment

j taking a stand, you ain't gonna fall

j and you've always known it

j they're dying to shake you

j trying their best to break you

j and though the going is rough

j you're going home as a hero

j 'cause there's thunder in your heart

j it's the power you feel when you get your

j taste of the glory

j there's a fire gonna start

j and you know they're goin' under

j you can light the dark

j when they hear your heart of thunder

How was it?

It was so easy it's a joke.

J 'cause it's thunder in your heart

j every move is like lightning

j it's the power you feel when you get your

j taste of the glory

j there's a fire gonna start

j and you know they're goin' under

Richie Anderson will win it,

and Jones is gonna hold on for second.

The local hero showing remarkable finish line strength.

You see the kid do it?

Yeah, I got eyes.

Okay.

Finish in the top three once more and you're in.

Terrific.

We're ready for the 12th and final qualifying race.

Oh man, that's a tough break, Luke, I'm sorry.

Gotta do it for all of us, dude.

My man.

Check it out. - What's this?

Now local interest continues to be

sparked by cru Jones.

He's had a second and a third place finish.

He needs the win or the points from another second

or third place to put him in the finale.

Riders are at the line awaiting that starting flag.

Last chance to qualify.

J 'cause it's thunder in your heart

j every move is like lightning

j it's the power you feel

j when you get your taste of the glory

j there's a fire gonna start

j and you know they're goin' under

J 'cause it's thunder in your heart

j every move is like lightning

j it's the power you feel when you get your

j taste of the glory

j there is fire in your heart

j and you know they're goin' under

j you can light the dark when they hear your

j heart of thunder

Guys, put me down!

Oh shit.

You defied me.

I didn't do it to hurt you.

It's not me your hurting.

You're willing to sacrifice building a solid future

for a bicycle race.

It's very self-destructive!

Would you try to understand?

The only thing I'm good at is riding this bike.

And now I have a chance to be the best,

maybe the best in the world.

I can take those sats any time, maybe in six months.

But this is the only opportunity I'll ever have like this.

I started out as one in 1000, now it's one in 20.

Now, to give that up, I think that would

be very self-destructive.

I want you to make me a promise

that in six months you'll take those sats no matter what!

No matter what, I promise.

Mom?

Thanks.

The surprise of the day, the local delivery boy,

cru Jones, who although he never won a race,

amassed enough points to assure himself a place

among the best bmxers in the world.

Did you find out who that kid works for yet?

Look, no, Duke, I've been busy.

Damn it, when I tell you do something, do it!

You know, I really didn't think she'd understand.

Better yet, I think I'll buy him.

Hey cru, man, where are you, buddy?

- Cru, cru! - Buddy, where are ya?

Is he here, no, he ain't in here!

- Guys, break it up. - Whoa, hey, hey.

- Whoa, there he is! - Here's my, man, ow!

How you doin', buddy? Ladies and gentlemen,

how about some applause for a rad dude!

Thank you, thank you.

- Oh no. - Hey, this guy's a star.

Look, I know stars, this man's a star.

Hey! - Oh come on.

Not that old modesty game. You're a star, talk to me!

1 guess 100 grand will do that to a guy.

No, no, hey, listen, listen, talk to me.

When you get that new corvette, being your best friend,

can I please have a ride in that baby?

- Oh yeah. - Guys, guys.

Can I get aride in it too?

Hold it, hold it, guys, hold it!

Qualifying is a lot different than racing helltrack, okay?

I'm just glad I got a chance to race, that's all, shut up!

Hey cru, cru, the bigshot bmx guy's outside,

and he wants to speak to you!

- Me? - Yeah.

You bad!

- Whoa! - You a star now, man.

Hollywood, here we come.

That's my man.

Hey, go to him, man, go to him, Mr. Hollywood.

Lucky you, you're all alone.

You wanna come with us?

No, I gotta work.

Too bad, we've got the whole afternoon off,

and I had something delicious in mind.

Oh, I gotta talk to this guy.

Hi, I'm cru Jones.

Just the person I've been looking for.

Come on in.

How are you?

How would you like to be the man responsible

for bringing bmx to all the small towns in the usa?

There it is.

Can you believe this place?

Rag city.

It's pretty, huh?

Perfect.

I hope Luke likes it.

You know, it is really pretty.

I hope Bart likes it.

You've got to be kidding.

Don't worry, I am, come on.

But you don't understand, it's a chance of a lifetime!

Don't be an idiot, kid, think it over!

I don't have to.

You and me, we don't think the same, not at all.

There, there, there, there.

You'll regret it, I'm telling ya!

You like to re, you'll live, oh sure you'll.

Oh, you'll live.

Hey, what's the big deal, Duke?

This guy doesn't even stand a chance.

I'm gonna wipe him.

What the hell do you know?

I've got millions of dollars of products

with your face on it ready to be put in every department

store in this country as long as you cross that finish line

on national television first!

So don't talk to me about big deals!

Duke, calm down, don't let this kid get you so upset.

I've never seen such raw determination

and talent in one kid!

No way, no way is he gonna screw up everything

I've worked for and you remember that!

Adam, schwinn, all right, go on in.

Thank you.

Cru Jones.

Jones, Jones, Jones.

No, I don't seem to have your name on my list.

Who's your sponsor?

Sponsor?

Who do you ride for?

Well, me, I ride for me.

Well, that's impossible.

I was told that you had to have a sponsor to race.

Well, since when, I've never heard that.

All you had to do was qualify.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Gosh, you kids are gonna have to forgive us for this one.

What are you talking about?

Well, it's most unfortunate, but that is the new rule.

No sponsor, no racey.

Mr. best is just sick about it and so am I.

You know, he was totally unaware of this rule

when he made the announcement about the qualifying race.

Now, of course, we're gonna give you the $10,000,

but unfortunately no racey.

You know, it's kind of a shame to bring this up,

but this is all your fault.

What's that mean?

Come on Christian, I know.

Do you wanna tell me what that was all about?

Best told me that if I rode for him that he would

make me a star and all this money if I threw the race.

Oh, that weasel.

Wait, you know about that sponsorship stuff, don't ya?

Well yeah, it's pretty simple.

A sponsor pays for your expenses

then you promote their product.

Well, like, for instance.

Hi jer.

He obviously races for coke.

Coke.

That's big time.

Yeah, well most sponsors are.

Know any heads of corporations?

No, I don't personally, but I think Luke's

in good with at&t, I'll check with him in the morning.

Hey, you guys.

You hear they ain't gonna let cru race?

- Why not? - They say he needs a sponsor.

- Oh bullshit. - Who says so?

Hey, cru, we heard what those creeps did to ya.

Yeah, we ain't gonna stand for it.

Yeah, if you don't race, no one races.

We oughta go to helltrack and rip that mother down.

Cru, I have something for you, I made it myself.

So you can wear it when you race.

It's real nice, Wes.

You hate it?

No, he doesn't hate it, Wes.

Yes, he does.

Would you make a couple of these for my kids?

They just love them.

They're 10 bucks a shot!

Okay, but you're a little thief.

Hold it, we're not done yet.

Wes, we're gonna use this and their 10 grand

to beat 'em at their own game.

Thank you.

I'm supposed to color the t-shirts.

Is this where I can get my homework done?

That's right.

Okay, biology, that's line two.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Hey, somebody, we need some pins down here.

Here's your homework, Picasso!

Hey, Luke, don't you dare mess that helmet up.

That's my only one.

Where'd you get that goofy hat anyway?

- I don't know. - I do.

Hey, would you guys hurry it up, please.

Cru, just stand still.

I did a couple wrong so it looks like you did it.

You think I can get a mannequin

to stand up here for me? I'm gettin' dizzy.

Okay, Becky, just pin that sleeve

up a little bit. That smells terrible.

Never mind the dye, stand still!

I'd work better if you'd get off my hand!

Hey, hey, Becky, be careful what you're doin' there.

Here's your homework.

- Oh, thank you. - It looks nice.

- How's the length? - Looks good, Becky.

- Yeah, that's all right. - You'd actually look good

with a couple of pins in you, cru.

I'll hold the pins, Christian.

Okay, the top looks good.

Let me just get in here so I can get the inseam.

Whoa, what are you doing?

I'm just gonna measure your leg so I can make your pants.

Okay, well, be careful, this is my

career we're talking about. I will be careful.

Straighten out your knee there.

Ow!

What are you doing? I didn't do anything.

Oh, oh, very funny!

Amy, I'll race you to the door.

- You're on! - Night, Amy.

- Night. - Good night, guys.

- Night. - All right, guys.

Damn, I was so right about those guys.

Come on, it's so obvious from the moment

you see them together.

Yeah, I know, but they never copped

to to it like that before.

Well, they probably just didn't want you

to feel left out.

Yeah, so what's changed?

Just kidding.

Kidding!

- How's that? - Hey!

Well, how about that?

Looks like the local yokel's gonna race after all.

Well, how about that?

That's fine, he'll get his shot and then best

and everybody else will know who really is the champ.

Let's go.

Let's get outta here.

Christian, there's been something that's buggin' me.

I need to talk to you about it.

What's all this number one about?

Self explanatory.

- Yeah? - Mm-hm.

You think you're pretty bad, huh?

Hot.

Okay, little miss number one, little special number one.

Why don't you follow me?

Okay.

- A little table toppy? - Ugh, child's play.

J paint me a scene where the water's rippling

j and dripping us by the heels

j we'll be soaking wet and then joking about

come with me, come on!

Well, if you're gonna show me something,

show me something serious!

J with you by my side, who can say what stroke of luck

j might strike today

ah, you freak!

J to everyone in town

you know, I don't understand it.

You waste two cans of beans to make hot chocolate

in river water, and the worst part is,

we don't even have any milk.

Now tell me, what is hot chocolate without milk?

Watcha thinkin'?

Just about everything that's happened to me this week.

It kind of reminds me of when I was like four years old

and the first time my dad let go of that bike.

It was like a whole new life.

All of a sudden, it was like I was in control.

I could go as fast I wanted.

It was scary but it felt good.

You're scared now?

Yeah I am, but I wouldn't trade any of it

because day after tomorrow, win or lose, I'm there.

Well, well, well.

Interesting, isn't it?

Interesting?

Free enterprise.

Something you should know all about, huh?

- You're welcome. - Thanks, kid.

Here you go.

You don't get one.

Please, Wesley, everybody else has one.

- No! - Wes, come on.

Okay.

You can give him the ripped one.

- Thanks. - Hello, Christian.

Now this warms the heart.

What heart?

Only in America can a group of young people

take the bull by the horns and make something happen.

I'm proud of ya, son.

Hey, mister.

Are you gonna blab or are you gonna buy?

Now she's a cute little thing, isn't she, Elliot?

Precious.

How much are the shirts?

10 bucks each.

Wow, that's a lotta money.

How many have you sold?

48, we're rich!

Yes, we are, we certainly are rich.

Let's see, that's $480.

At that rate, it'll be about $49,520

before start time tomorrow.

What are you talkin' about?

Elliot.

According to helltrack bylaw number 812.3 bravo,

to be eligible, a rider must be sponsored by a company

with at least $50,000 in sales.

Simply put, it means no 50,000, no race.

It is a new rule.

Hey, you come here, I'll show you the rule!

Don't!

Now, that would be the second mistake

you made with me, buster.

I don't like you guys.

You really are very cute.

- Wes, Wes, Wes! - Ow, geez!

Let me go!

Cru, wait!

Well, Burton.

Looks like you almost had yourself a hometown hero, huh?

Yeah, almost.

Good, I like your attitude.

What's that supposed to mean, best?

Well, I'm beginning to see you

as a man who stands by his convictions.

And I like that.

I'm beginning to see you as something

I might have stepped in, and I don't like the smell of it.

Oh, Cameron, Cameron, Cameron.

You didn't get where you are by being soft, don't start now.

Remember this, best.

Nobody uses me.

Boy, Duke, you really nailed those kids back there.

They'll never come up with that 49 grand.

Will you please leave, guys?

Luke and Becky thought maybe I'd

find you here.

Would you please go away?

Do you think that you're the only one who's been hurt?

Do you wanna know what I'm thinking?

What a fool I was not to take best's offer.

Everything else has been a joke.

Yesterday you said you wouldn't have

traded it for anything.

Well, bullshit!

That was yesterday!

You know, nothing can compete with money.

I'm glad I learned that now!

You gotta take what you can get or you're screwed!

You know, I was wrong.

Just because everything isn't going your way you wanna bail.

I thought you were a man.

Christian.

Well, I'll be damned.

Yeah, I knew I could do it!

Beautiful!

Hi, guys!

Good work.

Good work, keep it up, keep it up.

Hi, norm!

Hi, norm.

Hey, with all this helltrack exposure

we'd oughta be able to move that new mongoose product line

off the shelves in about a week?

Ah.

Aren't you just a little ahead of yourself, Elliot?

I mean, according to the contract,

Taylor has to win first.

Don't worry, he'll win.

I've heard your bullshit before, best.

He better win.

Come on!

Come on, quiet down!

Quiet!

It's not right!

Those kids worked as hard as they could!

They worked as hard as they could.

Order.

As mayor, I see no point in wasting good money.

That's not the point!

Why not? - I agree with her!

I think we should take every opportunity

to give a local boy a chance!

And he's such a nice boy.

Just a moment!

Just a moment, please, please!

Can I have a word here?

I thought I heard it all till now.

I've watched these kids grow up.

I've chased every one of them.

I think cru and his friends have done something special,

real special.

They have given themselves hope,

and all your talk about dollars is killin' that hope.

If someone doesn't see that cru has this opportunity,

well, I guess we'll all have to learn to live with it.

And a bag of this, please.

Can I talk to you for a second?

I guess so.

Would you like to be my friend?

Hey, cru!

Go away.

Cru, they're having a meeting about you.

Who is?

1000, thank you, thank you.

1200.

- 1200. - 600.

600.

We're still $27,000 short.

We're just about ready to get the festivities underway.

With us is the founder of fab, Mr. Duke best.

And shortly he's gonna be presenting this award

to Ms. Christian hollings as the number one

amateur female rider in America.

That's coming up right off.

Well, here's an interesting late note.

A change, local son cru Jones and his rad racing team

have met the eligibility requirements.

Now what that means is that we're gonna

have all 20 riders in competition on helltrack

later today.

Let me ask you.

Duke, Duke?

We'll be back right after this commercial message.

Hey, Duke!

You better leave, honey.

I don't think I want you to hear this.

You and you.

All you have to do is take out that kid.

You bet - we got ya.

Then all you have to do is win.

Do I make myself clear?

That is bullshit.

You have just made one big mistake.

How's that?

Well, Burton, I hear you have quite a collection

of rad shirts.

That's true, Duke, $27,000 worth,

and I'm gonna keep every one of 'em.

Because I got a hunch that by the end of this race

they're gonna be mighty valuable.

Duke, don't get left out.

I'd run right over to that stand

and buy as many as you can.

Let's cut out playin' games with each other, timmer.

You have as much to lose as I do

if Taylor doesn't win today.

We both know what 50% of nothin' is.

What you're trying to tell me, Duke,

is that I should see to it that cru loses, is that it?

Now you're getting it, you big hick.

Duke, get this.

- Cru. - Yeah.

Sign my cast?

Sure.

Hey, don't be intimidated by those guys out there.

Just go for it. - Thanks, ray.

Cru, cru, cru, cru, cru, cru, cru!

- Go for it. - Take care.

Cru, excuse me!

Hey.

God, what I wouldn't give to go ass sliding

with you right now.

Why?

I believe in you, don't you believe in yourself?

Yeah.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Go get 'em.

Crul

you can do it.

Just pretend you're in the lumberyard.

Go balls out.

And welcome to helltrack.

This is the most diabolical combination

of jumps, turns, and obstacles yet created

to test the world's best bmx riders.

$100,000 the monetary incentive for these young

professionals, but it's more than cash that challenges

these racers at the brink of this 25-foot wall.

Here's the starting feed.

Riding for team hutch, from Canada, Jeff ingram.

For team Robinson, from San Diego, Richard Fleming.

Robert rupe of los Angeles for dk racing.

Then there's the independent, the privateer,

for rad racing, cru Jones.

I know that kid.

Which one?

The one in the red.

Ah, you don't know him.

Yeah, I do, I work with that guy.

- Really? - Yeah, cru's my buddy.

Keep an eye on that boy in red, he's a local.

He's a fine young man.

The field in the starter's hands.

Every rider focusing on this three-story drop.

Getting set.

Cru Jones, number 33, has taken an unexpected lead

over Bart Taylor.

Taylor's teammates, the Reynolds twins,

are third and fourth.

Jones off the wall and extending his lead

as he moves into the moguls.

Jones getting pressure from the nation's number one rider

Taylor in the s's.

Here comes the cliffhanger.

Like in baseball, here you're either safe or you're out.

Jones is on.

Taylor is safe.

The Reynolds twins barely making it.

And Mike Miranda is out.

The end of lap number one,

the local rider Jones is out in front!

Bart Taylor draws even with Jones.

- Cru! - Get up!

Get up!

Get up!

Jones, he's regaining his feet.

He's gonna try and continue.

Back on the track, he's 12th.

Team mongoose struts their stuff.

Ooh, Rex Reynolds bites the dust

as cru Jones picks up a couple of spots.

Reynolds is up, he still maintains third.

Let's go!

Cru Jones riding as if possessed.

He's moving into fifth!

Jones flies into fourth.

Two laps down, two to go.

Jones laps Mike Miranda back up in racing

after that spectacular spill earlier.

And we've got a rider down!

It's Hollywood Mike Miranda,

his second dramatic exit of the day!

Bart Taylor on the point, does a little grandstanding.

That was bad, that was bad!

What a short cut!

Oh my heart a back flip, hulk hogan eat your heart out.

Taylor's lead diminishes.

His teammate, rod Reynolds, wants first place.

Reynolds is hit!

Taylor takes his own man out, good night team strategy!

Here is Taylor stopping, he wants cru Jones one on one!

The top rider in America Taylor puts his reputation

and $100,000 on the line to a determined unknown challenger

who just keeps coming on.

Come on, baby!

Jones moves to challenge.

In unison they clear that jump.

Jones on the inside, Taylor outside,

Jones goes into first.

Shoulder to shoulder they peddle through the final half lap.

Taylor regaining the lead.

What a fantastic finish developing.

Dead even as they move to the final hurdles.

Down to the finish, for the checkers, Jones versus Taylor.

One more jump.

Give it to Jones, cru Jones wins it!

Luke!

Come on, baby, he won!

Norm, wait a minute!

Come on, where you goin'?

We can sign that Jones kid. Leave me alone, okay?

Better still, go away.

The benevolent organizer of this great event,

Mr. Duke best, will be holding a special winner's party.

All refreshments are free,

and of course you're all invited.

Norm!

You're history, kid, history.

You gnome, you'll never work again.

- Hey, Bart. - Taylor.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, all of the sudden you're really some pal.

Good race, man.

Yeah, it was, thanks.

Looks like you're out of a job, huh?

Yeah well, you know.

Best isn't the only game in town.

Now that we're official,

think we got room on the rad team?

Good idea.

All right. - Yeah.

What a team!
