"Don't give up"

The story centers around Ikki, a horny middle school aged twerp. In true Disney fashion, his parents are dead and he lives in the suburbs with the Noyamano sisters. Playing the “wicked stepsister” role to the hilt, the girls demean Ikki horribly, mock him constantly, and make him do chores. The leader of a gang called the East Side Gunz, Ikki is often at the wrong end of beatings and ass-whoopings by a variety of thugs and hooligans which is a source of much embarrassment.

The Noyamano sisters belong to a Storm Rider “gang” called Sleeping Forest one of the more venerable teams. One night, while the girls our out, Ikki sneaks into one of their bedrooms and “borrows” a pair of Air Trek skates. In a scene reminiscent of Peter Parker discovering his powers in Sam Raimi’s first Spiderman movie, Ikki bumbles his way through learning how to use the skates. He ends up at a roadside skateshop owned by a grotesquely fat old woman known as Grandma. When a Sleeping Forest emblem falls out of Ikki’s pocket, Grandma’s diminutive and bearded husband leads Ikki to the park where the Storm Riders are having a gathering. In an embarrassing misunderstanding of Storm Rider rules involving a girl named Simca and the placement of Storm Rider emblems on certain parts of the female form, Ikki finds himself in a skate battle with the leader of a Storm Rider gang called the Sader Skulls. Partly through the intervention of the Sleeping Forest, partly through natural talent, but mostly through shear dumb luck, Ikki wins his contest with the Sader Skulls and decides he has what it takes to become the leader of his own team.

It is good but i think it is been cut.
