Righto, warm up.

Take it easy. It's not a competition.

When are they going to get
not everything is a race?

Come on! Start!

- Stop cutting the track.
- What are you gonna do about it?

Training is not about driving
each other into the ground.

We are here to win.

You're at MaveriX to work on your skills.

Drive each other to be better.

Yeah, that's right.

And Alice Springs Race Day is coming up,



so we've got to lift our game.

I'm ready to help these guys
whenever they want.

If you don't shut up,
I swear I'm going to...

Oi, oi, oi!

The team is the base from
which we all launch from, yeah?

And the team is made or broken
on what you do here.

That one of the ones you stole?

I didn't steal anything.

Well, I brought 'em back.

You're the one who stole my bike.

Oh, you mean rescued it after you bailed?

Yeah.

You know it's gonna take
a lot more than that

to fix a cracked fuel line
and a blown back shock.



You know what? Vic will sort it.

I don't need anything from you.

Might want to rethink that.

Yeah, and I might not.

Look, the sooner we get it fixed,

the sooner you're out of my hair.

Alright. Fine.

I do some jobs round here,
you fix my bike.

- You don't have to do that.
- I'm not a charity!

Deal?

Righto. Get some brekkie into ya.

Come on, then.

See, Jenny's got it.

If you wanna be the best,
nutrition is the key.

- I am the best.
- I am the best.

- Food fight, anyone?
- Ah!

She's gonna be helping out
around the place while we fix her bike.

Helping herself to what?

Angelique, is it? Take a seat.

What would you like?

We've got eggs, toast, spinach, bacon.

Just a light breakfast?

Maybe lunch as well.

You gonna let him take you?

Yo, Bear-lievers, check it out.

Not the end of the world,
but you can see it from here.

So what am I still doing here?

Good question. It's kind of
like a community service.

These people need me,
but I'll be back in Melbourne asap.

Not soon enough.

K-doh. The K-man. K-dog.

Bit touchy? Happens when you
show people new moves.

- What have you shown me?
- Ah, where do I start?

More like when? How many times
did I lap you yesterday?

You're only here 'cause of your mum.

That's not true.
I had to get out of Melbourne.

Cops were after me.

Cops caught you, dude,
just like every rider here.

More yoga? Really?

- Can't we go back to the track?
- Yeah, what'd we do wrong?

This is the best thing
for your core strength.

So we'll just have
an easy warm-up. Grab a mat.

Come on.

Plant your feet, and big

pelvis circles,

all the way to the right

and back to the left.

Come on, Kaden, big circles.

And round the other way,

warming up those hip joints.

All the way round.

Now, let's have our first sun salutation.

Feet at the back of the mat.

Hands in prayer position.

And walk your hands out into downward dog.

Push out your back heel.

Hips up to the sky, Kaden.

Yeah.

Really lengthen that spine out.

You winning now, K-man?

Running your nose
along the front of the mat.

Going into a back bend.

Big exhale.

And knee right over the front foot,

looking out over your front hand.

Arms to the front.

And look up to the sky.

Bear, this is your favorite position.

Lift your left foot up

and if you can,
have your hands in prayer position.

Kaden, if you just straighten
that underneath leg...

- Need some pointers?
- Mmm.

Kaden,
if you just wanna follow along.

It's about the journey,
not the... not the position.

This is bull.

Ah, no, it's actually Bear
totally owning you.

- At yoga? So what?
- I mean, today it's yoga.

Then it'll be jumps, corners, lap times.

You seriously think he can take me?

- It's only a matter of time.
- Definitely.

Well, if he can take me,
he can take any of you.

Fine, so ramp it up.

Whoever wins the most sessions
by the end of the day wins.

Wins what?

My new brake and clutch levers.

It's just bling, man.

We're supposed to be training together.

We will be.

All of us.

We should get back out there.

Bring it on.

You don't care about this bike.

- What?
- Your bike.

It's in terrible condition.

- Talk to my brothers.
- I'm talking to you.

It's precious.

Understand?

You gotta look after it.

I look after myself, alright?

You look after your bike,

it'll look after you.

When you ride... you're a team.

Build another wall with those tires.

OK, bench press.

Ten reps.

Then ten crunches, ten push-ups. Got it?

What does this have to do with racing?

Strength and conditioning.

I condition every night. I'm cool.

Richie.

Alright.

OK. Nice and even.

Good.

You seeing what I'm seeing?

Wasting time watching me.

Bike's not gonna fix itself.

Right, jump in.

Eleven, twelve.

Thought we were only supposed to do ten?

Hey, do you have a warranty?

I reckon these ones are malfunctioning.

Alright, that's enough.

Pace yourselves.

I don't think you're a charity.

Good.

Time Vic's done, be better
than before we ditched it.

Great. I'll get more money for it.

You're selling?

Getting outta here.

And... and going where?

Darwin, Adelaide.

You mean you're... you're running away?

I can't keep going like this.

Like what? Look, Ange, if you...

Don't worry about it.

Whoa, hey.

- You alright?
- Yeah, um... Yeah, I'm fine.

Kinda seems like you're not.

No, I just, um, I pushed myself
a bit hard, that's all.

Yeah, I saw that.

- But you don't need to like...
- Tell anyone?

I wasn't going to.

You can ride.

Thanks.

Probably be even better
if you weren't carrying stuff.

OK.

It's... it's cool.

- There he is. Bear!
- Dad.

Dad, where have you been?
Have you been getting my messages?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry, mate.
I've just... I've been busy down here.

I've been, uh, looking at
a new business opportunity.

Dad, you have to get me out of here.

I've been watching your videos.
Looks like you're having an awesome time.

I'd rather be with you.

Yeah, me too, mate. Me too.

It's just, you know,
the thing is I've got my hands full.

Probably have more fun where you are.

They're not my peeps.
They don't want me here.

Well, if it's really not working
out, then we can talk about it.

In the meantime, keep those
videos coming. I love ya.

There are two races.

The race to the first corner,

and then the rest of the track.

Races are won and lost on the start.

Second gear,

front brake on, revs up.

Ease the clutch out

till you feel the bike wanna go.

Trick is keep your weight
over the front of the bike

so you don't pop a wheelie and lose time.

You're gonna get mauled by the Bear.

The Bear rides alone.

What's that all about? Oi!

Cornering is your secret weapon.

Eh! It's not so secret
if everyone knows about it.

What I mean is

it's not about who's got
the most powerful bike.

- It's all about...
- Cutting sick.

It's about technique.

Get off the brakes early, come in wide,

stay light on the bike

and carry your speed all the way through.

Or you could just cut sick.

Can't wait to see that.

What is your problem?

Alright, alright, alright.
Alright. Get out there.

Work on the corners.
And remember, don't race.

Richie, stand up!

Dude, those new levers are mine.

Not after we go again.

Guys, we should wait for the others.

Griffo said not to race.

Guess who listened.

See that air? I'd like to see
any of you do that.

- Jump for show...
- Corner for dough.

Corner for what?

Don't let them get to you.

The old guy round?

I think he's working on the track.

He looks scary, but he knows bikes.

You don't let him work on yours.

No, I do. Just like working on it myself.

And not hanging out?

It's not like that.

Bit of tension at the moment, but...

I'm kind of a B rider next to them anyway.

- No, you're not.
- That's nice, but...

No, you're not.

They stand.
They ride on the balls of their feet.

Makes them lighter on the bike.

Griffo's been talking about
that, but how do you...

My brothers are idiots,
but they know a few things.

Right, well, thanks.

Whatever.

What's up, Bear-lievers?
So what is it with...

Yo, peeps. So there's something
I've been meaning to...

Sooner or later,
you're going to have to deal with whoops.

I get whoops all the time.
Cheers, high-fives, fist bumps.

- You guys will get 'em too.
- He means those.

Do they come with training wheels?

Whoops are a lot
trickier than they seem.

You don't even know
what you're talking about.

What's your problem?

Hey, guys, come on.

Your time... Oi!

You're everyone's problem.

You all think you're so special.

Yeah, and we don't need you
stuffing everything

'cause you can't cut it.

- I can't cut it?
- Don't say that.

That's out of line.

Bear!

Bear! Bear, bring it in!

- Hey, man, you OK?
- Stay still. Oi!

- Come here. Oi! Oi!
- Gimme my bike.

- Chill out for a second.
- You chill out. I'm going again.

Bear!

- Hey, what happened?
- He couldn't do it.

Mate...

Stuff this. I'm going back to Melbourne.

You can't stop me.
Dad wants me there with him.

Hey.

It's just whoops. What's the big deal?

You guys with your little club,
all your gear.

- Hang on, this isn't on us.
- Yes, it is!

You're supposed to be a team
and you're the captain,

but you've been cutting him out all day.

- You've got no idea.
- No idea about what?

What it's like being on the outside.

You don't know how lucky you are.

You said to drive each other to be better.

Healthy competition lifts all of you.

I don't know what that was today.

A good captain brings people together.

I thought you understood that.

If you didn't
stuff around so much,

none of this would have happened.

It's not all him.

Oh, so now you're on Bear's side?

What sides? We're a team.

He's right. Don't let it go to your head.

He shouldn't even be here.

- Why not? He's not bad.
- Maybe Angie's right.

Maybe he just needs some friends.

You get friends when you win.

Can I come?

You're a weirdo, you know that?

I'm a weirdo?

They watch your videos, you know.

Can't do half the stuff you can do.

Tell me something I don't know.

Would really suck for them
if you could do everything they can do.

You said something to him, didn't you?

Just that you suck.

Maybe not all the time.
Might tell him that bit later.

- He's gonna kill himself.
- Probably still beat you.

Come in slow, power through to the end.

Grip with your knees.

Then you can show me how much
air you get on your jumps.

Follow me.

Yes. Whoo!

Nice!

Nailed it, mate.

Had to show you guys how it's done.

And, you, looking good.

- Light on the bike.
- Thanks to Angie.

She should be on the team.

Sorry, you want to...

We know she can ride.
And she's strong.

I mean, look what she's done today.

And she's smart.
She's brought us all together.

We need her.

She's definitely got something.

You all on board with this?

- Yeah.
- Most def.

For sure.

OK.

Whatever it is, it wasn't me.

We want you on the team.

- I-I told you that I'm...
- You're not a charity.

I get it.

But we're stronger with you,
and teams lift each other up.

So... what do you reckon?

She's a beautiful old girl.

Look after her, hey?

Wait a second, are those my...

Yeah. I thought you could use some
new brake and clutch levers.

Alright.

Don't just stand there.
Race day's coming up.

Hey.

We should have a comp.

See who can fill their helmets
up with the most heat balm.
