Year: 1998
Tagline: "It takes a champ to stay in line."
Reasons they need to see it: This is my absolute favorite DCOM — not only does it star Erik von Detten, late '90s to early '00s dreamboat, but it also features a totally BA female skater who I wanted to be like so bad. The main characters in the movie love skating for the fun of it, so much so that they call themselves "Soul Skaters" — until Brink starts skating for money behind his friends' backs and learns that sometimes, friendship is the most important thing, and you don't necessarily have to do something you love to make money; you can do it because you love it.
