* EpicFail: Josh's first skate lesson with Candace quickly goes wrong when his first attempt at a pretty basic trick sees him land crotch-first on his board.
* FreudianExcuse: Josh's father never took any interest in his skating hobby; he just waited outside the shop, honking his car horn and impatiently pointing at his watch.
