Thera was a shoe-in for winning the local skateboarding games and a national 'bruse-cruise' until Ned Falcon arrives on the scene. Not only does it appear that he can out-skate Thera but she's falling head-over-heels for him. Les tries to channel that love-crazed feeling to skateboarding power. Thera finds Ned to be too stuck on himself after she lets him use her crush-powered skateboard. Thera makes an awesome ride and the gang realizes that the only way to beat Ned is to feed is over-size ego into overload.
