The kids challenge Hacker to a "winner takes all."
Hacker takes over the Radopolis cybersite, declaring himself King. The kids challenge Hacker's hired hands to an Olympic-like skateboard competition.

RICKER RACKER FIRECRACKER!
SIS BOOM BAH!
GO HACKER!
YOU TWO ARE PATHETIC.
<Ollie> IT'S TIME FOR ROUND ONE.
JACKIE VS.
BRINK ON BIKES.
AND BRINK RIDES FIRST.
WHOA!
HE STARTS WITH A 360 TAILWHIP.
BRINK SEGUES INTO A BACK AND FORTH FRAMESTAND.
POETRY IN MOTION!
HE THROWS IN SOME BUNNY HOPS FOR GOOD MEASURE.
AND A GIANT PEG GRIND ALONG THE RAIL FOR A FANTASTIC FINISH JUDGES?
A PERFECT SCORE OF TEN!
WHAT A WAY TO START THE SKATE-OFF FOR TEAM HACKER!
OH, WHAT DID I GET US INTO?
I TOLD YOU, MATT.
YOU CAN'T ALWAYS JUMP INTO THINGS.
HOW CAN WE BEAT THESE GUYS?
(Whistle) C'MON TEAM, LOOK ALIVE!
WE PRACTICED.
WE KNOW THE FIELD.
NOTHIN' TO IT BUT TO DO IT.
DIDGE IS RIGHT!
NOTHING TO IT BUT TO DO IT.
<Matt> GO GET'EM, JAX!
JACK-IE!
JACK-IE!
JACK-IE!
JACK-IE!
JACK-IE!
JACK-IE!
JACK-IE!
THE HACKER'S GREAT, THE HACKER'S GOOD.
HACKER IS THE BEST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
<Ollie> JACKIE LOOKS TOTALLY PUMPED.
UH-HO!
SHE'S GOT A BUNNY HOP GOING BEFORE SHE EVEN HITS THE RAMP.
AND SHE'S OFF!
A TRICKY BUT SLAMMIN' STEAMROLLER AND SHE'S OUT OF THE HALF-PIPE.
AND NOW A NO-FOOTED CAN-CAN.
WHOA!
SHE CAN'T MAKE THAT TURN AND OH!
SHE HITS THE WALL AND FALLS OUT.
OH NO!
THAT IS GOING TO BE COSTLY.
JUDGES?
OOH!
TOO BAD.
ONLY A THREE FOR THE JACKSTER.
I NEVER WENT OUT LIKE THAT IN PRACTICE.
IT FELT LIKE I - LIKE I RAN OUT OF ROOM INSIDE.
HMMMM, I SMELL A RAT.
MAKE THAT - HACKER.
TIME OUT!
TIME OUT!
OKAY, WHAT DO WE KNOW?
WE KNOW THAT JACKIE RAN OUT OF ROOM INSIDE THE FIELD.
BUT WHY?
MAYBE THE HACKER PULLED THE OLD SWITCHEROO AND CHANGED THE FIELD?
IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY TO COMPARE THIS FIELD TO THE FIELD WE PRACTICED ON.
MAYBE THEN WE COULD FIGURE IT OUT.
THEY SAY A PICTURE'S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.
BE BACK IN A FLASH, EARTHLIES.
I DON'T GET IT.
OLLIE MEASURED THIS FIELD BEFORE THE SKATE-OFF STARTED.
SO WE KNOW THEY HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF FENCE PIECES AROUND.
AND IT'S A RECTANGLE.
SO IT'S LEGAL.
JUST LIKE OUR PRACTICE FIELD.
SO WHAT COULD HACKER HAVE DONE TO MAKE IT DIFFERENT?
<Digit> HEADS UP, GANG.
I TOOK A SNAPSHOT OF THE PRACTICE FIELD.
AND ONE OF THIS FIELD HERE.
AND GUESS WHAT?
THE SHAPES ARE DIFFERENT.
SEE?
<Jackie> WHOA!
WHOA!
WAIT A MINUTE.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
THEY HAVE THE SAME PERIMETER.
<Matt> YEAH, THE SKATE FIELD LOOKS NARROWER THAN THE PRACTICE FIELD.
SAME NUMBER OF FENCE PIECES.
BUT LOOK AT THEM.
FOR SOME REASON, THE SHAPES ARE DIFFERENT.
THAT'S WHY I FELL OUT.
THE SKATE-OFF FIELD WAS A SHAPE I WASN'T USED TO.
AND YOU CAN BET YOUR LAST FENCE PIECE THE HACKER DID THAT ON PURPOSE.
FINE!
IF THAT'S THE WAY HE WANTS TO PLAY THE GAME - I'LL BE READY!
<Ollie> TEAM HACKER IS LEADING TEN TO THREE.
TIME FOR ROUND TWO.
EDGE VERSUS MATT ON SKATEBOARDS.
EDGE, ROLL ON DOWN.
EDGE IS RUNNING THE REVERSE CIRCUIT, FOLKS.
SHE'S OPENING HER ROUTINE ON THE RAIL.
A BACKSIDE FIVE-O!
WHAT AN AWESOME OPENER.
AND A DOUBLE KICK FLIP, SWEET!
OOOH!
NOT THE BEST OF LANDINGS.
BUT SHE CAPS IT OFF WITH A SOLID BLUNT STALL.
NICE RECOVERY!
AND NOW IT'S ALL UP TO THE JUDGES.
NINE FOR EDGE!
AND NOW, REPRESENTING TEAM MOTHERBOARD - THE TOTALLY TALENTED MATT-STER.
NOT SO FAST.
SINCE MY TEAM IS IN THE LEAD, I EXERCISE MY RIGHT TO CHANGE THE FIELD.
YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE FIELD NOW.
OH REALLY?
IF YOU STUDIED THE OFFICIAL SKATE-OFF RULE BOOK, IT CLEARLY STATES THAT THE TEAM IN THE LEAD CAN CHANGE THE FIELD AT ANYTIME AS LONG AS THE SHAPE REMAINS A RECTANGLE AND THE PERIMETER IS 26 STANDARD FENCE LENGTHS AROUND THE OUTSIDE.
<Matt> BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR.
FAIR?
OF COURSE IT'S FAIR.
IT'S IN THE RULE BOOK.
I'LL JUST ENTER A FEW CHANGES.
AND FOR ONCE, I DIDN'T MAKE THE RULES.
MUCH BETTER!
<Digit> LOOK WHAT THAT CHEATER DID NOW.
HE CHANGED THE SHAPE AND SQUEEZED EVERYTHING CLOSER TOGETHER.
WAIT A MINUTE.
MAYBE CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE FIELD HAS CHANGED THE PERIMETER.
AND THAT WOULD BE ILLEGAL.
RIGHT?
FIELD CHECK!
HACKERBACKERS, HACKERBACKERS, SIS, BOOM, BAH!
HACKERBACKERS, HACKERBACKERS, RA, RA, RA!
YEAH!
<Inez> NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
THE NEW SHAPE IS DIFFERENT.
THE SIDES ARE 3 AND 10 NOW.
BUT IT STILL HAS THE SAME 26 FENCE PIECES AROUND THE OUTSIDE.
MAYBE SO.
BUT IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THERE'S A LOT LESS ROOM TO SKATE IN.
WELL, I DIDN'T PLAN MY ROUTINE FOR A FIELD SHAPED LIKE THAT.
OH, MAN!
I REALLY DID IT THIS TIME.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP, MATT.
TEAM MOTHERBOARD NEVER GIVES UP!
DID WE GIVE UP WHEN HACKER STOLE THE SUNISPHERE FROM SOLARIA?
NO!
DID WE CALL IT QUITS WHEN HACKER TRIED POLLUTING MOTHERBOARD WITH CYBERSTATIC?
NO!
DID WE THROW IN THE TOWEL WHEN HACKER TOOK MARBLES TO CASTLEBLANCA?
NO!
AND THERE'S NO GIVING UP NOW BECAUSE WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GETS GOING.
AND WE'RE TOUGHER THAN THAT HACKER!
SO WHO'S WITH ME?
WHO'S WITH ME?!
WE ARE!
GEE!
<Crowd> MOTHERBOARD!
MOTHERBOARD!
MOTHERBOARD!
<Ollie> IT'S REALLY TIGHT IN HERE, FOLKS!
MATT'S HOPING TO RAMP UP TEAM MOTHERBOARD'S POINTS.
WHOA!
A WICKED FRONTSIDE FLIP OVER THE RAIL!
BUT HE ALMOST FALLS OUT.
TOO CLOSE TO THE WALL, DUDE.
A 270 NOSEGRAB!
BUT HE'S RUNNING OUT OF ROOM ON THE LANDING.
AND ANOTHER TOTALLY QUICK STOP TO SAVE THE ROUTINE.
HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO MANOEUVRE.
<Ollie> A STALLED INVERT!
TOTALLY HARD.
FOLLOWED BY A KICKIN' HEELFLIP.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
<Ollie> THAT TURN'S SO TIGHT.
OW!
TOTALLY ON HIS BACK.
BUT AT LEAST HE STAYED IN BOUNDS.
JUDGES?
A SEVEN FOR MATT!
MAKING THE SCORE - TEAM HACKER 19, MOTHERBOARD'S ALL-STARS 10 AND ONLY ONE ROUND TO GO.
HOW CAN THE KIDS EVER COME BACK FROM THIS?
I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE.
YOU RAN OUT OF ROOM, JUST LIKE I DID.
GIVE UP YET, KIDDIES?
NEVER, HACKER!
IF YOU FEEL SO CONFIDENT, WHY NOT RAISE THE STAKES?
NAME IT!
IF YOU WIN, NOT ONLY WILL I GIVE THIS SITE BACK TO THE RAD-STERS, I'LL NEVER TAKE OVER ANOTHER CYBER-SITE AGAIN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT IF YOU WIN?
OH...
THE REWARD'S QUITE SMALL, REALLY.
I WANT HER - TO BE TEAM HACKER'S CHEERLEADER.
ME?
