* EvilIsPetty: Val's deal with Andy includes a bit about the latter having to show the former respect in public. He, naturally, proceeds to exploit this in humiliating ways by making Brink publicly praise him, undermine the Soul Skaters' criticisms of him and generally serve as a toady. He also makes a dig at Gabriella's background for no reason but to be a jerk.

* ParentsAsPeople: Dad is frustrated with Brink's skating antics clashing with school - leading to a day's suspension. This frustration is not helped by the angst of worrying about supporting the family and not knowing whether he'll get his job back.

This is one of the last straws for Andy staying in the Team.
* PrecisionFStrike: A very mild one, but Dad throws a quick "hell" into the RousingSpeech to emphasise his own sense of loss of identity after his accident.

''Brink!'' is a 1998 Creator/DisneyChannel Original Movie. It stars Erik von Detten as Andy "Brink" Brinkley, the leader of a rag-tag group of skaters who skate for fun. Their main antagonists are the XBladz, a group led by Val (Sam Horrigan) who are sponsored and skate for money. The big showdown at the end is of course a skate tournament to prove which group is the better group.
