Good one. Got it done.
And, you, bringing it home
for the team
your first podium finish.
Not like there's actually
a podium, or a team.
Hey, guess what.
You know what else?
With that win there and your
points from the other races,
you just qualified
for the Nationals, Ange.
OK, got a couple of hours
to get to the next qualifier.
One podium down, two to go.
Hey, Dad, the bikes
are a little bit high.
I know, it's running hot.
I'll check it when we get there.
- Ready to smash it again?
- Yeah.
Really? 'Cause it sounds like
you're ready for a nap.
I don't know, it's just
I'm not even sure
if I deserve to qualify.
You messed up, fessed up, took a hit,
and now you're earning your way back.
You deserve this.
Just doesn't feel right
without the team here.
Not bad. Not bad.
- I can do better.
- I'm counting on it.
And so's Barb.
She likes to sponsor winners.
You'll be right.
I haven't seen a rider
with a work ethic like yours since me.
- You were amazing.
- And you will be too.
That's why I'm coaching you.
People would see that sooner
if you rode in the women's comp.
Not this again.
I told you I wanna do...
I can make you Australian
Junior Women's Champion.
I want to beat the boys.
I want the open.
You would own the women.
You'd open doors for a lot of girls.
Well, I want to own everyone, OK?
Your times will need to be way better.
You've got a cardio HIIT session
in five.
Go and get ready.
Central Australia comes alive
with the Atomic Adrenaline bikes,
tonight at the Alice Springs Raceway.
Bear, mate, I've got some good news.
Scott's cheating hasn't
thrown any shade on you.
Whatever. You know, I thought
we were going back to Melbourne.
We've been here for days.
I thought we were going home.
We will, but it will be via Darwin.
Darwin?
I've been talking to two
social media dudes up there
who love your work,
and they're pumped
to get you sponsored,
turn you into an influencer.
That's pretty cool.
I even snagged the last two seats
on the flight there tomorrow night
so we can nut things out in person.
We've just got to seal the deal
with a fresh video,
something that shows off
your mad skills.
Look...
That crash would have
freaked me out too.
But it was on the track.
That's not you.
We just need to get you back
to what you love.
I just want to chill with you.
That's what this is all about,
you cranking out the videos
and me managing things.
We'll be hanging out all the time.
Yeah?
- Want me to try Vic again?
- I've tried three times.
He must be out of range.
Make yourself useful, get in here.
Hey. Got your photo.
- How good do I look?
- Yeah, good.
I mean, you know, fine, OK.
- Where are you now?
- Isaac's Peak.
Scott coasted back
into the Nationals yet?
Mm, it's not really like that.
His bike's kinda cactus
and Vic's not here, so Griffo's...
Making it worse.
Can't tell whether I should be scared
or sad.
Let me hear the engine.
Did you get anything from that?
Isaac's Peak's a higher altitude
than Alice.
The air-fuel mix it too rich.
- Put a smaller main jet in it.
- Got it.
Owe you one, Rich.
Hey, just thinking,
have you tried a smaller main jet?
- I still can't see it.
- See what?
Kaden in a Katzo suit.
Heard you both podiumed
this morning.
At least one of you
made the Nationals.
Hmm, think the portable toilet's
overflowed.
Let's get to the starting line.
Come on.
- That's it. Hold on.
- They're gonna box him in.
He needs to place in every race,
or he's done.
- Third. He came third.
- Yeah.
You held your ground. But...
Yeah, I know.
Gotta get a first in Darwin.
We'll sneak in some time
on the track at home tomorrow
before we head up there.
Whatever it takes.
You know who would have loved that?
Have you talked to Jenny at all?
Well, she's not really answering
my calls or texts.
You could always go see her.
You could always shut up.
Look forward to seeing you
at the Nationals...
...if you make it.
I'm gonna enjoy wiping
that smile off his face.
I'm thinking you start back here,
get a good run-up,
and then, hey presto,
we got these ramps here,
so you hit this one
and then that one
and then you land it
on that tabletop up there.
And I'll be waiting right there
for you to look down
with some classic Bear magic.
Hey, what's all this?
I'm getting this guy back
to doing what he does best.
What is that, Craig?
Uh, yeah, we're just setting up
some new stuff
to get some new sponsors.
Yeah, some social media guys
have been chasing me
about Bear's channel.
They reckon they can supercharge it.
That is excellent.
Um, you know, Bear qualified
for the nationals,
which means he's one of the best
riders in the country.
Maybe he'll still ride,
if it fits in with his brand.
His brand?
He's Bear Wallis, wildcard.
Thousands of fans waiting
to see what he does next.
Is this what you want?
Uh, yeah. Could be pretty cool.
These guys know an excitement
machine when they see one.
Don't. Stop it.
Yeah, main line's cut up pretty bad,
so I need you to start wide
and sweep in earlier.
No, that means I can't power off
the rocks on the corners.
You want to beat the boys,
make adjustments.
Do what I'm telling you.
Protein-load for dinner.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Rocket Lynch is your new coach.
- She's a gun.
- She's different.
Yeah.
So, how's it all going, you know?
- Being out here on your own?
- It's OK.
Yeah.
Hey, I could suit up, you know,
let you whip me for a few laps.
Don't you have qualifiers to get to?
Yeah, I've already done two today.
One to go in Darwin,
so I'll end up there tomorrow.
So, you know, I got time to
mess about, or train, I mean.
Yeah. No. Sorry.
Um, Rocket wants me
to practice some stuff.
Yeah, right. Course.
All adrenaline,
all the time.
Don't miss...
...Bike Spectacular
at the Alice Springs Raceway...
So you're not even
answering my texts now.
Yeah, I...
And what's this about you
not riding at Nationals?
I don't know what's gonna happen.
I can't believe this.
Well, look, it's not like
we have much a team left.
Only 'cause you guys are idiots.
Yeah, you would say that,
'cause you've got nothing else.
Yeah. What have you got?
I'm a brand, OK?
I've got a ton of people
just waiting to see what I do.
Who even are you?
Alright, mate.
Do your thing.
You good?
Um... Uh, yep. Yep.
Well, get some speed,
hit the ramp, whoosh-ka!
Looking good.
Sounding good, mate.
Let's do this!
What's the problem?
Just wasn't feeling it.
You will once you get started.
- I don't know.
- Yeah, well, I do.
It's time to shine, like we planned.
Bear, what's going on?
Where are you going?
- It doesn't feel right.
- It doesn't get more right.
This is a warm-up compared
to some of the videos you've put up.
I wanna get out of here.
You've got to show these investors
you're Bear Wallis, online superstar.
- Maybe I'm not.
- Of course you are.
- What if that's not me anymore?
- Then what am I even doing here?
Bear...
Can you pull it tighter,
please?
Did you go see her?
Who was more awkward? You or her?
It was you, wasn't it?
It was fine. Can we drop it, please?
She'll be cool, eventually.
Maybe.
- Bear here? Call you? Text?
- No. Why?
Been trying him
for the last hour.
Hey, what's up? Where's Bear?
I think I pushed him too hard.
He took off on his bike.
He's not answering my calls.
- I don't know what to do.
- Well, we need to find him.
We'll start with some of
the places he might go, yeah?
If he comes back here, call us.
Be ready to go when we get back.
Bear? Call me, seriously.
What do you want me to do?
Just don't make anything worse, Craig!
Do you think we should
call the others?
You think they want us to?
What up, peeps?
I've been on the down-low recently.
That's because I've been
cooking up something.
Something massive. Check it.
I am gonna be jumping this bad boy
and it is gonna be epic.
Uh, so I know where Bear is.
I do better when
I'm being chased by a pack.
Alright. Everyone has to plateau.
I was always improving at MaveriX.
I've coached three
national women's champions.
I'm the current NT Open champion.
Every time I push...
...you push back.
Hey, we're talking here.
You wanna leave that?
- I have to go.
- We're training.
My team needs me.
You're not on that team anymore,
Jenny.
You need to decide now
if we're gonna make this work.
This is crazy.
Like, even for him this is insane.
I called Tanya. They're on their way.
If we cross-country,
we might just beat them there.
You don't have time for this.
You've gotta go to Darwin.
Vic's a demon behind the wheel.
It'll be alright.
- How'd you know?
- Felt the vibes.
- Seriously?
- I texted him, stupid.
Let's keep moving.
Jenny, you came.
Bear's in trouble.
Wouldn't be anywhere else.
Come on. Let's go.
I'm Bear Wallis and this is what I do.
It is go time, Bear-lievers.
You're never gonna see anyone
else give you a ride like this.
It is gonna be epic.
Strap in.
No-one else is gonna
take you on this ride.
Bear! Don't do it!
- Not like this!
- You're just in time!
Bear, no!
Just wait!
Bear, you're not a brand.
You're more than that.
I'm Bear Wallis and this is what I do.
We need to get in there.
You're not gonna stop me!
- Bear, just wait!
- I don't care what you say.
I'm gonna do it.
The Bear-lievers want it. So do I.
You mess this up, you take me out too!
Fine!
You take us all out!
You don't believe I can do this,
do you?
Yeah, we do. Just not like this.
Not when your head's not right.
My head's fine. You think I'm over?
No, but if you're gonna do this
you've gotta do it right.
Have you worked out
how much of a run-up you need?
Start across there, sweep around,
give yourself a good lead-in.
What gear are you gonna be in
when you hit the ramp?
I don't know.
I was just gonna send it.
It's a 50-foot gap, mate.
You're gonna want to be in third
and roll on the throttle.
Power on when you land.
Focus all the way through. I mean it.
You really think I can do this?
I know you can.
Bear, if you're gonna do this,
do it now!
Bear!
Bear, stop! Don't!
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Good job!
Mum, I'm sorry and...
You have nothing to prove.
- Do you hear me?
- Yep.
And you are grounded for a month.
You did good.
You reckon?
We've been banned
from the speedway for a while, but.
Yeah.
The thing is...
...we don't have time
to get to Darwin for the race.
You're a champion, mate.
Don't need a trophy to know that.
You right there?
Well, seeing as I totally
just saved Bear's life...
I'm pretty sure we were there too.
I figured you'd be happy
to give your room back to me.
What about Rocket?
Taught me everything I need to know.
Oh, yeah?
Is that right?
My best chance at winning
the Nationals is on this team.
Hey, mate. You still going
to Melbourne with your dad?
I'm not going anywhere.
Except to Nationals.
You have a plane to catch.
Bear. Hey.
You... still want to see me.
Never let down a true Bear-liever.
No, mate, I'm not a fan,
I'm not your manager.
I'm your dad.
And I'm never gonna
stuff that around again.
I mean, if I lost you...
It's cool.
Still got those plane tickets
to Darwin.
I was gonna cash them in
at the airport.
You reckon you can hold onto them?
You still want to...
He's got a race to get to.
Oh, they're all yours.
But I don't think
your bike will be carry-on.
I've got a bike
sorted for him up there.
Well, go for it. Best of luck.
Luck?
I'm his lucky charm.
I should go with him.
