This is it, folks.

First race of the national junior season.

♪ I said the joker is a wanted man ♪

♪ He makes his way all across the land ♪

And they're racing!

♪ Through the sand ♪

♪ So I'll tell you all the story ♪

♪ About the joker
And the thief in the night ♪

And there's number 61,
Scott Griffin, storming to the front.

He's on fire.

♪ Always sweet and sour ♪



♪ So we are not ♪

Whoa, but he's got his work
cut out for him here.

The boys in red from Katzo

were the number one team last year.

They are packed with talent
and they've come to ride.

♪ Over ♪

♪ As she's standing
In the field of clover ♪

But it's Scott Griffin
throwing it sideways out there.

♪ Every day ♪

♪ I wonder what would happen
If he took her away ♪

He's trying to hold his own,

but Katzo screams around the outside,

reeling him in to take the lead.

And as we come into the home stretch,



Katzo look to have this...

Whoa, and Scotty Griffin

exploding to the front on the line

to let everyone know this
young man is a real threat.

You got boxed in pretty bad.

Didn't come into the corners hard enough.

Yeah, I sucked.
Should have won that, eh?

Oh, wait, I did!

Oi, I'm your coach. I know a few things.

Since when?

It's our year. I can feel it.

I'm glad you think so,

'cause I reckon we make
the announcement... now.

A bit of a treat for you today,
ladies and gents.

Got a real legend of the circuit with us.

Former Aussie motocross champ,
Cam Griffin!

It's been a while since we've seen you
flying round the track, Griffo,

but we've been seeing
plenty of young Scotty.

Yeah, he's doing alright.

Better than alright!

Number four last year.

Now, you've got some news for us.

Why don't I let Scott tell you?

So, Scott, what have you
and your dad got for us?

We're opening an academy.

A riding academy, Brian.

It's called MaveriX.

MaveriX, eh?
Well, tell us a bit more.

Six weeks over the holidays
up at Alice Springs.

We're gonna get the best riders together,
have 'em come stay at our place,

do heaps of training, heaps of racing.

We're building a team and we're
taking it to the Nationals.

Katzo's number one!

Well, if anyone can do it, folks,
believe me, it's the Griffins.

- We're bringing home the title, Brian.
- Let's hear it for MaveriX.

I reckon we'll be seeing
a lot more of them this season.

We better start finding some riders, huh?

Yeah. Come on.

Hey, Bryce! Get back here.

What's the go? What's up with it?

Couldn't tell you.

I can have a look at it if you want.

If you can fix it, you can race it.

He's not gonna need it today.

All riders for heat two,
make your way over to the staging area.

All riders for heat two.

Another strong field here.

Riders almost set now. Just waiting on...

Hello! Who do we have here?

Guess we'll find out!

Interesting look.

Heat one was a cracker.

Let's see what they've got in heat two.

Racing!

Oh, and the latecomer's
getting off to a great start.

Into the first corner
and he powers through.

And we see Katzo taking a grip
on this race early.

But that man in black is hanging in there,

making Clements and Hemmes
from Katzo work for it.

Into the next corner.
They slingshot out again.

And this mystery rider's
got a unique style

but he's not giving an inch.

Look at him fly,
sailing out to a massive lead.

Into the home straight,
on the run to the finish.

Looks like it's all over.

Hang on, I spoke too soon!

Number 24 has come
out of nowhere to snatch the win.

What a finish! Another fantastic heat.

Who was that guy?

Oh, too slow, Scotty.

Guess you're used to it by now, right?

Big win, especially for a chick.

Nope, just a big win.

I'm Jason Cox from Katzo Racing
and this is...

Lawson Tyler. I know who he is.

That's right. Current national champ.

Not for long.

I like her.

- Oh, you killed it!
- That was so good, love!

- Hey, I know that guy.
- Go to work.

Hey, it's Richie, right?

- You remember me?
- Yeah.

Seen you round the track in Alice.

Mate, that was an amazing race.

Richie? Rich? Richie?

Thanks, uh... I can't. I've gotta go.

Richie?

What'd you do?

Hey, you crushed that race.

Was I meant to understand that?

Tell me something I don't know.

OK.

Me and my dad, we're starting
an academy for elite riders.

Who are you guys?

- Oh, I'm Scott...
- You sucker.

I know who you are.

What I want to know is

whether you guys are
supplementing the track work.

Yeah, course.

With what?

Heaps of stuff.

Like?

- Well, we're gonna... We...
- Nice try.

But why would I come to Alice Springs?
You're not even sure what you're doing.

Great start
to the season here, folks.

And the good news is we're
gonna finish up here as well.

The Australian Motocross Association

is proud to announce

that the MX Nationals
will be held at this very track.

So take a good look
because some of you will be back here soon

fighting for the crown.

Hey, did you work these levers?

With tools or the power of your mind?

Do I have to do everything?

See anything you like?

It's awesome gear. Pity, though.

Guys with the best kit
are always the worst riders.

Gold Coast boy Kaden Li
chewing up the track out there.

It's only his second season
on the national circuit,

but he is really making his mark.

And as they turn for home,

he streaks away to book
his place in the final.

What a day of racing we've had so far!

Him! We want him.

Where's my protein shake?

G'day.

You got time for a chat?

Hey, Mr. Griffin!

Oh, Griffo's fine.
Just wanted to talk to you

about a new development program
I'm starting.

Me and my son, actually.

Cool, yeah. We were joking around before.

It's called MaveriX.

Wanted to know if you're
up for the challenge.

That sounds amazing.
I've just gotta contact my dad.

Mr. Cox, I'm Kaden Li.

Right, yeah, I got your emails.

Yeah, I know Katzo's recruiting
and I'm getting other offers.

You're a good rider,
but I've got plenty of those.

You beat my number one rider,
Lawson Tyler, in the final,

we'll talk.

Thanks for dropping in!

I am gonna win
the Nationals again this year.

Trying to convince me or yourself?

I'm not trying to convince
anyone. It's just a fact.

- What do you want, Lawson?
- I wanna help you.

You wanna help me?

Someone's gotta tell you
that you're not your dad.

And building a team around you
isn't going to change that.

You better walk away now.

You don't have to get hurt, Scotty.
Just don't get in my way.

All the heats are done.
All the gates are loaded.

The best of the best
ready and raring to go

head to head in the final.

First points for the season
are on the line.

And there we see the last bike in,

reigning national champion, Lawson Tyler.

Come on, mate. Let's do this.

Thirty-second board is up.

Marshals are clearing the track.

Riders are set.

It all comes down to this.

And they're away in the final
of the Adelaide Invitational.

Lawson Tyler punching to an early lead.

But into the first corner, Scotty Griffin,

riding for new team MaveriX,
is taking it to him.

♪ High above ♪

♪ With the clouds I fly free ♪

Hemmes and Clements from Katzo,

Peterson and Li all in the hunt.

Up front, the competition's fierce.

Griffin and Tyler neck and neck.

But creeping up is the winner
of heat two, Jenny Chivas.

Ooh, and Tyler and Griffin lock horns

with Griffin coming off second best.

Now it's Tyler and Chivas charging on

with Hemmes and Clements right behind.

Scott Griffin and MaveriX
have got a lot of work to do

with this pack storming away.
But here comes Griffin.

Up front, Jenny Chivas is making her move,

keeping Tyler in check,

the rest of the pack
breathing down their necks.

Behind them, Griffin is fighting back.

Look at him go!

And he's not the only one.
Alice Springs rider Richie Peterson

taking an outside line there.

The battle for position is red hot.

But it's Tyler and Chivas
wrestling for the lead.

Griffin's not giving up, though.
He's making up ground.

Kaden Li isn't gonna be
left behind either.

Sweeping around into the home straight,

it's Tyler and Chivas

and Scotty Griffin with a late charge.

They're leaving it all
out on the track, folks.

But it's Tyler, Lawson Tyler,
taking the flag

to win the Adelaide Invitational

with Scott Griffin a courageous second

and Jenny Chivas third.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Go, Scotty!

Yeah, thanks.

I told you, you don't have to get hurt.

Go, Katzo!

Whoa!

- I'm in.
- Yeah?

You were on fire out there.

Can't wait to destroy you
at the MaveriX track.

- You were amazing!
- Hey, check this out.

Hey, that was a big move out there.

You've got good instincts.
You wanna make the most of them,

we've got a spot for you at MaveriX.

Richard Jupurrurla Peterson!

Don't you move a muscle!

Mum! Dad!

- You're here.
- Don't play dumb.

You've been ducking us all day.

Look at you! Look at your uniform.

The school called.
They know you've been sneaking out.

Now you think you can ignore our calls.

Mum, Dad, this is 'Griffo' Griffin.

G'day.

They're all a bit of a handful
at this age, eh?

I could think of a few more choice words.

Hey, your dad used to take Richie

to the track in Alice, right?

He was incredible.

Thank you.

The way he worked with the bikes,
the way he worked with Richie.

Anyway, we're starting up
a new riding academy.

It would be great to have him.

Yeah, I'm gonna be workin' them
pretty hard over the break.

The only thing he'll be
working on is his scholarship.

If you don't pull your socks up,
son, you're gonna lose it.

We need to get back to Alice
and you need to get to work.

Sorry, but the answer's no.

Move it, mister. We've got a long drive.

Come on.

Thanks anyway.

- Can I just say that...
- No.

- The thing is I know I could...
- She said no.

But if I get all my work done...

Keep talking and you'll be walking home.

You don't start talking soon

and it's country music all the way home.

One rider. That's all we got out of today.

No, it's not.

You got a taste of what it's gonna take.

I mean it, mate.

You want the championship,
ain't gonna be easy.

- I know.
- Good.

- I'm glad you're disappointed.
- Why?

You need a team to push you.

Alright.

Where do I sign?

You gonna get out and give us a hand?

I thought you didn't like me tinkering.

We need to get on the road.

- Now's not a good time, alright?
- I think now's the perfect time.

Richie!

I really want to go to MaveriX
and you won't even talk about it.

Not like this, we won't.

Should get us to a service station.

Thank you.

It's good to be handy, Rich,
but there are more important things.

The school's gonna kick you out

if you don't pass the make-up
exam, you get that?

You've only got till
the end of the holidays.

And if we're even thinking of
letting you do this MaveriX thing,

we wanna know that you're
gonna study every day too.

And you won't stay there.
You'll be at home with us every night.

So that's the house.
We've got the chill-out shed.

There's a workshop up there.

And this is the track.

Starts here, loops around
the other side of the hill.

The website said
'state-of-the-art training'.

- Yeah.
- This is false advertising.

What are you talking about?
We just upgraded everything.

What else could you need?

A gym. A pool for resistance training.

Yeah, waterhole's two kay that way.

- This is not what we paid for.
- Yeah, it is.

We're here for Griffo.

Where are we sleeping?

No way.

This is, like, against the
Geneva Convention or something.

- We do have rights.
- Yeah.

You've got the right to sleep outside.

Well, I'm not sleeping next to her.

Oh, no. She's sleeping
in the house. You get my room.

What? Why am I getting punished?

- Why the special treatment?
- Hey! Who's hungry?

Come on.

Grab a plate.

So, it's great having you all here.

If you've got any questions, any worries,

I'm always around.

And if I'm not, talk to Scott.

That's it.

Train hard, do as I say,

you'll be surprised how far we can go.

Alright, I've gotta make
some calls, so, um... yeah.

You really think you can beat Katzo?

Yeah, I know we can.

Who's Griffo gonna back
when I start owning you?

Me, 'cause I'm gonna own both of you.

I've held places for them.
There's no way I can fill those slots now.

Oh, forget it. Don't waste my time!

Those two riders from Perth
who were supposed to be arriving tomorrow...

They're not coming?

Apparently they got
a personal call from Lawson Tyler.

We'll do it without 'em, then.

The numbers don't work without them.

Dad, it's my last year of juniors.

If I want to get a contract,
I need MaveriX to work.

And I need us not to go broke, mate.

Alright?

I ploughed all our savings,
everything we've got,

into the track upgrades and insurances.

Without those riders, we need sponsorship.

For that, we need some kind of X-factor.

And we need it soon.

And it's Griffin,
Griffin running away...

You've gotta admit, he's not bad.

- Told you.
- Whatever.

He's not gonna save you out on that track.

Save me? 'Cause you're such a beast?

Yeah, I think I'll be fine.

Besides, you don't want
to make my duwende angry.

Your d-what?

The spirit
that protects my family.

Like Filipinos are the only
ones with spirits haunting them.

If we're gonna do this,
we might as well start now.

Who's up for it?

You took your time. You ready?

Ready to smash you.

Hey, did I mention the snakes?

What?

Don't fall off.
