This story is based where the skateboard culture is the most foreign, the
Midwest. Derrick Cabrera, like all skaters, has a dream of being sponsored
and one day going pro. He is an up and coming skater with all the talent
but has the world against him. Parents, friends and schoolmates can't
understand how Derrick has so much passion for something that has no future
in their eyes. His crew of friends that are skaters is the only place he is
truly accepted. But, as he gets better and better, the skater he looked up
to the most becomes his worst enemy. In the sport of skateboarding a single
trick that has never been done or conceived can bring you stardom in an
instant. Derrick has that trick, if only he can make it. As he attempts to
make this trick he is faced with skateproofing, a jealous friend and cops
who have it in for him. Derrick finally gets arrested for skating on
private property. After that his parents lay down the law and try to force
him to quit skateboarding. Adding insult to injury, his girlfriend forces
an ultimatum on him as well: "The skateboard or life with her." At that
point, Derrick gives up everything and runs away with his friends to the
Tampa Am contest in Florida. This is a weekend that can turn an unknown
skateboarder into a future star. He sees it as his only shot to make it in
skateboarding. Derrick's rivalry comes to a head in Florida when his crew
of friends abandons him because of his jealous mentor. A top amateur's
sister rescues Derrick by giving him a place to stay and convincing him to
believe in himself. With all the world of skateboarding watching, Derrick
finally makes the trick that shocks the entire skate world and instantly
thrusts him into the spotlight. His dream of being sponsored has come true.
