The premise behind the series is that when Hawk lands his initial 900-degree aerial spin, a mysterious force shatters his skateboard, catapulting pieces of it all over the world. A group of teenagers set out on a quest to collect the pieces of the magical skateboard, and put it together again, thus restoring its powers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;d get critical, but at this point anything that gets kids away from the video games is fine with us.
