Chester Coyote is a very talented paintball player. Unfortunately, he would rather be a lone wolf than run with the pack. His team, the Wolves, is in the state paintball finals, but he isn't seeing eye-to-eye with his best friend, Cora Ramirez, the Wolves' team captain. Chester won't follow her orders, and his class-clown personality is turning the rest of the Wolves against him. If Chester doesn't decide to play well with others, he'll lose his friends, as well as the paintball championship.

Carlos Ramirez has always been the Strikers' best scorer. He pulls off bicycle kicks with ease, and his best friend, Tou Yang, knows exactly where to put the passes. But the state's best team, the Bandits, are coming to town, and Carlos hears that he'll have a very special fan in the stands. His uncle, a professional soccer player, will be watching his nephew's every move during the Strikers' biggest game of the year. As the pressure to perform sets in, Carlos struggles to even hit the ball, let alone do bicycle kicks. Everyone has seen that Carlos is a gifted athlete, but no one knows whether he'll shine as the centre of attention, or be blinded by the spotlight.

It was just another day on the BMX street course for Billy Cruz. He lunged down the pipe, rode the ramp high into the air and tweaked his bike for a perfect Superman, when suddenly he lost his grip on the seat. Cruz hit the concrete hard, and wound up in hospital with several broken bones. Six long weeks later, Billy finally got back on his bike. But now, he couldn't help but hold back a bit on his tricks, and his scores were starting to suffer. To add insult to injury, Billy's best friend, Penny, had been acting strange since the accident.
