Is Brink a good film?
Entertainment Weekly’s Dylan Kickham placed Brink! at number four on his list of the top 30 Disney Channel Original Movies in December 2015. According to Kickham, “along with the hilariously nostalgic lingo, Brink! earns its place in the pantheon of great DCOMs for mixing adrenaline, drama, and one-time Disney golden boy Erik von Detten.”
Aubrey Page of Collider.com ranked all of the DCOMs up to that date in May of 2016. It’s been official pretty much since it aired: Brink! is a classic,” Page said about Brink!, which landed at number 17 on his list. And, if not the only one, it’s definitely the best aggressive inline skating movie ever put on film.

Brink!
- -Andy "Brink" Brinker and his in-line skating crew--Peter, Jordy, and Gabriella--who call themselves "Soul-Skaters" (which means they skate for the fun of it, and not for the money), clash with a group of sponsored skaters, Team X-Bladz--led by Val--with whom they attend high school in southern California. When Brink discovers his family is in financial trouble, he goes against the wishes of his parents and his friends and joins Team X-Bladz.
