Kelly's been nailing it all day.

It ain't over till it's over. Right, man?

Well, that's it for us.

And a great carving 540.

Over-rotates and goes down hard.

All the way to the flat bottom.

And he's completely off the ramp,

not moving,

being tended right now by the medics.

He rises to his feet. He's okay.

Getting the support of the crowd.

An unfortunate circumstance

for Team G-Force.

However, an opportunity for

Team Pup 'N' Suds with one skater to go.

-What?

-Dad, we can win.

-We can win now?

-We can win.

All right, Peter, man,

not to put any pressure on you--

I know.

-Come on, Peter.

-All right, Petey.

-All right.

-You can do it.

You're the man.

[presenter] Next up, Peter Calhoun.

[announcer] Peter Calhoun

is going to need the run of all runs

if he's gonna bring

Team Pup 'N' Suds to the downhill race.

Starting off with huge amplitude.

Everything he does,

he's gonna try to do well overhead.

Back-to-back airs,

good definition on the grabs,

and a huge 720 but lands awfully low.

With that low landing, he's gonna

have to pull something incredible.

Here comes the 540.

There it is!

There is the incredible trick,

an inverted 540

which lands up high on the vert.

One and a half full body rotations,

completely upside down.

Beautiful style.

Peter Calhoun

mixing it up with spins, huge airs.

He could very well be bringing

Team Pup 'N' Suds to the finals.

-[presenter] 98! Team Pup 'N' Suds win!

-[announcer]They have done it!

What a great way to end

the vert championships!

Down to the last run.

It's going to be one skater

from Pup 'N' Suds

versus one skater from X-Bladz

on a treacherous downhill race.

Winner takes all.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome to the Friendship Bell Downhill.

This is the most dangerous course

in competition today.

Okay, guys, we did it.

We came this far, and I'm not gonna let

you guys down. Do you hear me?

Just remember one thing.

Win or lose,

skating is what we do, not who we are.

Man, that was, like, deep.

Pup 'N' Suds, you guys have one minute.

Okay, dude. This is it.

Good luck. We'll see you at the bottom.

All right, man.

You know,

before I just wanted to beat you.

Now I'm gonna humiliate you.

You ever hear

that winning isn't everything?

Oh, sure. Didn't believe it then

and I don't believe it now.

And neither do you.

Yeah, I wanna win.

But no matter what, win or lose,

at the end of the day, I'm not you.

So it's still a good day.

[presenter] Skaters, to your marks.

Get set.

Go!

♪ You've got to know yourself

Come on, buddy! You can do it!

[announcer] Both skaters just flying

down the course, neck and neck.

This is the section in the course

where the top speeds will be reached.

Both totally in a tuck.

Whoever can be the most aerodynamic

is gonna start to pull away.

Forty-two and a half miles per hour.

That is a new course record.

[cheering]

♪ You've got to know yourself

Yeah!

♪ You've got to know yourself

♪ You've got to know yourself

Go! My man, Val!

Jordy, man, my arm's going numb.

-Where did he go?

-There's a blind turn up there.

-We'll see him in a minute.

-Okay.

Ugh!

Is that all you got?

-Let's get a shot of it. Come on.

-All right.

Get in close!

[Brink] Dude, are you okay?

[groans]

Let's get you out of here.

Come on, let's go.

You never did have the brains

to finish a race when someone was down.

I guess not.

That's what I was counting on.

-Get it?

-I got it all.

Let's go.

[announcer]

As expected, Val Horrigan in the lead.

A huge air out of the alley,

coming out of nowhere, and Andy "Brink" Brinker is back.

My move! My move!

Back to the neck-and-neck position

they've had throughout the race.

It's into the tucks.

♪ You've got to know yourself

[announcer] This is it, a dead sprint.

This is all heart.

Both skaters totally exhausted.

-Oh!

-Yes!

Team Pup 'N' Suds. They've done it!

Team Pup 'N' Suds from behind

grabs the championship!

An incredible finish!

Katie!

-How does it feel?

-It feels great, Dad!

[crowd chanting]

Pup 'N' Suds! Pup 'N' Suds!

[man] You stink, man!

You cheated! You're a cheater, man.

Go, Brink!

Hey. Hey, I didn't know

Val would do something like that, man.

-I'm sorry.

-Yeah, man. Me neither.

-It's okay. You guys didn't know.

-Brink, we need to talk.

Listen. Val, he's out.

The cheating's a bad thing, man

You, you're in.

You're my man.

You want me to be

the captain of Team X-Bladz?

You got it. Money, sponsorships.

You know how the drill works.

Come on. What do you say?

I was on Team X-Bladz once.

It wasn't any fun.

I'm sorry, man. I'll see you around.

-[all] Yeah!

-[crowd cheering]
