Zeke is super excited when his skateboarding idol Rip Ryker rolls into town on a new promotional tour. Rip announces a contest for the top ten skateboarders in town, with the winner getting to go on the skateboarding circuit as Rip's sidekick. Zeke is stoked and draws himself a fancy aerodynamic board which helps him make the finals. But when Rip gets his eye on the slick cool new board, he swipes the board for himself and Zeke is out of luck and his board. Realizing it is Rip who is the board-stealer, Zeke challenges him to a one-on-one skateboarding duel, but not before he draws Rip's board with five tonnes of weight on it. Now the playing field is even and they have to win based on their own skills. Too bad Rip doesn't see it that way, and dumps marmalade over Zeke's skateboard wheels just as he's about to take off.
