The Most Heinous Villian in Disney History

[@rushmaverick1923]

To slightly correct what Gabriella told Brink. You don’t sellout by doing something you love for money. It’s when you stop loving it, or don’t believe in what you’re doing anymore, but you keep doing it anyway for the money. That’s when you become a sellout. Doing what you love for a living isn’t just the American dream. It’s everybody’s dream.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Correct it’s crazy how so many adults who watch this movie miss that message when it is exactly what is said in the movie. Don’t let things define you do them because you enjoy

[@FriscoMelt8o]

"Skate better" is one of the most iconic quotes in all of DCOM history.

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

Still dropped between my brother and me to this day. Even got my wife to say it.

[@Aretoo]

This is still a go to phrase for me in many situations. Does anyone get the reference? typically no. Am I happy anyway? heck yes!

[@Duallight-kw1nx]

I say it all the time

[@cloud_3nv]

"I guess they'll let anybody skate here," my brother in christ, you're on a public road

[@DYL0N---DC]

He says "chore-ness" in that opening bus stop scene, as a reply to Peter saying "Lateness!!" Because his mom made him clean his room before he could leave. But I definitely remember having no fucking clue what he was saying there when I was little. Took me 20+ years to decipher that gibberish 😅

[@anunaskedforopinion]

OMG I just realized Gabrielle is the same girl who plays the friend/lead singer in Freaky Friday!!! She's so pretty. Such an icon.

[@jordyscomputer]

OMG I didnt even notice what a catch!!!

[@ThatBaseballGuy13]

The principle’s response after Val eats the sandwhich with worms in it is SAVAGE. Val- “I thought I saw a bug or something” Principle- “well, GET OVER IT” 👍🏼😂

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Just a perfect unnecessary touch to this movie 😂

[@datdamadude]

I would roleplay this movie with my friends and we would blade around my school after hrs and pretend we had a blade group and i was the leader brink 😂😂😂

stop thats so iconic

Right!?

[@notmetagaming]

We also did this in Miami in the 90s lol

[@Outshined93]

he didn’t do it for the money. he didn’t do it for the clout. since it was the 90s he did it all for the nookie

[@DisDatK9]

So he could take that cookie and stick it up his (yeah)

[@boogienightsmarkwahlberg6011]

where did he put it tho????? THIS IS THE QUESTION I NEED TO KNOW

[@june32nd]

oh the beef between roller blading and skateboard was more like "youre a fruit booter?" "well better then a wood pusher"

[@XXhite]

💯💯💯correct! Accept skateboards really had no respect for fruit booters. And the world agreed 🤣🤣🤣💯

[@drewski7641]

There is no heterosexual explanation for val getting that close to brink and asking “do you think I’m a jerk?” 👀

[@emmypru2253]

He’s figuring out some stuff 😂

[@cwbellor]

Val was single-handedly responsible for turning hundreds of straight teen boys gay.

[@DisDatK9]

He was really hoping for open season on brink's butt

[@alexmoon066]

Most of the old teen movies so gay codded all current shows about lgbt or querrbating are not even close to the level of gayness of the old movies

[@HansonFan73]

There's a few moments like that in this movie. 😅

Cup stacking followed up by brink? This channel is popping off on nostalgia!

[@greenprimalranger]

I'm going to mention how Disney made DCOM about fraternal twins, with one having a developmental disability and how the regular twin copes with their twin with a disability. It's called Tru Confessions, and that movie had me bawling with how mature it was. You really should check it out.

[@jordyscomputer]

omg i must

[@neivilde.1242]

i love that movie so much, like don't love that shia laboeuf was playing the disabled kid, but it's so freaking sweet

Val was the only person who was willing to help Brink and his family. Brink’s friends are the real villains of that movie.

Funny how Val is the same kid from the movie Little Giants. He plays Spike but essentially the same kind of character. Love this reaction!

[@kathear15]

That's who he is!! I knew I recognized from somewhere, I loved Little Giants!

[@Aster_Risk]

Brink says "Choreness!" toward the beginning since his mom made him do chores. I felt it was my duty to let you know! Also, this has been one of my top favorite DCOMs since it came out. You're absolutely killing it with your video topics lately. (Btw, this movie is based on a story called Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates. I found that out a few years back and had to share.)

[@CrackySue]

Why does Val slay so hard? He looks yassified it's crazy Also I looked into Vals actor and he graduated high school at 16 or something! Wtf

[@jordyscomputer]

HAHAHHAA he is literally the blueprint of yassification

[@joeproway]

i love the fact that everybody has 'their' DCOM, like the one that resonated with them the most and that they randomly think about for the rest of their life. mine is the mermaid boy one and idk what that says about me but man do i think about that weird ass movie more often than i should

[@nocturnalnewsie]

That movie was my SHIT. Despite seeing it for the first time in reruns since I was maybe 3(?) when I first watched it and it had been out for 9 years at that point but I loved it so much. Though be careful rewatching it, it wasn't as exciting with adult eyeballs as my memory had built it up since childhood

That moment right before the final race when Val turns to give Brink the most psychotic smirk ever has been on the back of my mind since i was a kid. He looks completely unhinged.

[@chewnotchw3]

Val was ACTING!! I hope he got his flowers

[@jordyscomputer]

he really shined!

[@GodsFaveSim]

Had the worst day at work,I asked god to show me a sign that all would be okay and then Jordy uploads a new vid. Say what you will but god’s timing is always right and we love her for it.

[@jordyscomputer]

IM HONORED

[@DPadGamer]

This movie was a big reason why I wanted to get better at skating... I also happened to break my arm while skating so maybe that wasn't a good thing.

[@FoxyTattyDrew]

Finally someone who sees that Val had a major crush on Brink. Now if anyone else has any Val/Brink fics let me know. Because I wrote one and I can't find any more.

[@cwbellor]

Yeah, but Val could seduce anyone though. Chuck Norris was straight until he met Val.

[@WorkingClassMagic]

motocrossed was surprisingly progressive for the time, if you want to do that next.

[@jordyscomputer]

i LOVED motocrossed

[@carolitoffana]

I loved that movie so much

[@XoRaider]

Wow I hella forgot about this one, another great OG Disney channel movie.

[@farbeyondfading8697]

All those Disney Channel Original Movies were bangers back in the day. Johnny Tsunami, Smart House, and the Thirteenth Year were some of my favorites along with Brink.

[@deathbob091]

in the 90s and 2000's skate boardes & bmx riders absolutely hated rollerbladers. it was a bonding experience

[@poolhalljunkie9]

So true😂😂

[@KickstandOptional]

I genuinely love that Brink still occupies people's memories against their will

[@jakemetzgar]

This kid who played Val is just eating up this role. His facial expressions crack me up 😂

[@ethansloan]

This was the coolest movie when I was in kindergarten. All the boys would run around the playground at recess jumping off stuff pretending we had rollerblades on. Erik Von Detten was the absolute coolest.

[@Randomninja47]

Boomer is played by Walter Emanuel Jones, the Black Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and he looks younger in this movie than he does in Power Rangers and Power Rangers was like 5 years before this. Also, Brink, Alley Cat Strikes and Luck of the Irish are some of my favourite DCOMs. Plenty more but I always remember them fondly.

[@Sabrina-jl4sp]

I feel like no one else knows about Alley Cats Strike 😂

[@Randomninja47]

@@Sabrina-jl4sp I love it but I also am a huge fan of bowling in general so that might help.

[@nailinthefashion]

This film came out around the time of stuff like George of the Jungle or 13th year and Johnny Tsunami and really solidified my craving for goofy athletic people. Disney really slayed me

[@Jenny1924]

i had a crush on like half the cast when I was a child 😭

You should check out So Weird. Seven year old me had such a crush on Patrick Levis in it. Plus it was kind of the end of Disney Channel’s “actual drama” era lol.

This movie is responsible for me being a skater for the past 23 years 🛹 Great video, Jordy!

for years my brain always confuses Brink and Genius, the movie with the kid that rigs a hockey game with the anti gravity skates, late 90's early 2000's dcoms were all art

Holy scnikeys, when you started talking about inline skaters vs. skaters, I immediately said, "it's like tennis vs. pickleball is right now." Then seconds later, you made that very analogy. GMTA, something something mindmeld, etc.

Jordy! How dare you not put the best quote in this video. “why don’t you go back to Mexico” as a Mexican I thought this was hilarious 😆 😂

[@bluj1143]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite current YT channels. Was a great watch, hope you do more rando nostalgia stuff like this. I almost forgot this movie existed.

[@JOneHundredTV]

I was a aggressive inline skater during this time period. This movie meant so much to me. I recorded it on my VCR TV when it came out and watched it almost everyday for like 2 years. That was a bit much and the movie does have it's cringe but, I related to Brink and the movie so much it was like watching my life and pushing me to get better at whatever I was doing at the time. I try not to be nostolgia driven.. but this brings me back to times I wish I could go back to. I wish I had those 98-01 problems again!

[@ThePunkFemme]

Me realizing that Val was one of my first crushes 😂

[@jbbizzle828]

Even as a kid at 9 or 10, I always thought Brink's dad was a naysayer and uptight, needed to lighten about his son's passion for skating. Like when was the last time he was so passionate about something that he didn't care what people thought about it? Now as an adult, I can see where dad is coming from and he means well. He wants what's best for his kids and what dad wouldn't? But still, I'm glad he came around in the end.

[@PyrusTheVirus]

We needed a sequel with a disgraced Val turning his life around and seeing the message Brink was trying to put out there. Also, the manager Geoffrey Blake, was Frank in Critters 3.

[@Kataang101]

god this is my favorite original disney movie. I learned to rollerblade because of this movie which also bridges to ice skating which i started to do too. I remember being the only kids with roller blades during my school's roller rink nights. man the nostalgia

[@Gary9ine]

my wrestling coach use to tell me "wrestle better" because of this movie and it was honestly always the best advice

Yesssss one of my first major crushes was Eric von detton in brink💚💚💚

[@N3ur0m4nc3r]

@11:30 I was thinking that exact same thing when you showed the shot of the mother. Warm super soft lighting, close hard focus on the subject. Soap opera vibes.

[@jojo-gg1iz]

Jumping off the ramp wasn’t necessarily a speedboost, but rather it helped her to cut the corner to gain an advantage over Brink who had to take the full corner. Kind of a cool scene cuz of that lol

[@UnionParkPlumbing]

Such great production quality and edits, keep it up!

[@katjosephperez8772]

I had Barbie rollerblades, but I couldn’t do it. One day I was playing around with them on the garage floor. I was sitting on the ground of course. Rolled my feet around a bit, took them off and kept playing with my hands. Just checking em out, flicking the wheels. Then a bee, which must’ve been conjured or teleported bc it wasn’t there before, stung me in the armpit. I just started wailing, thankful the skates were off already. I was 5, and I’m pretty sure I never touched those skates again

[@Ramblinrabbit24]

I remember being like 9 or 10 years old sitting on the living room floor watching this movie on Disney and the part where brink talks about doing the sponsored skating thing at dinner and when the dad freaks out my dad says mockingly “ya you can get a job. As long as it’s something you hate”. lol. I remember rolling my eyes and thinking to myself “he doesn’t get it”. Haha. Now that I’m a dad I know what he was saying. Went right over my head then. lol.

[@ARodt]

Loved your cup stacking video, and as someone who actually does aggressive skating, thought I could help out with a few questions and clear a couple of things up. 1. Did skateboarders hate rollerbladers? Yes, and this movie showed a very sugar coated version of that, more on that later. 2. Does jumping on a ramp and landing give you more speed? No, you normally lose some speed. 3. Do you have to grab when you jump? Grabbing in the air does help control your body in mid air, but downhill racing competitions aren't a real thing so the rules are whatever the script writers say. Now to clear up a couple things, while aggressive rollerblading did fall off massively in the mid to late 00's, it's not exactly accurate to say it flopped. Aggressive rollerblading was massive in the mid to late 90s. In fact, it was one of, if not the most heavily promoted sports in the first two years of the X Games, and pro competitions outside of the X Games were played on ESPN and Fox sports pretty commonly. Skateboarding as an industry and culture felt slighted because they had 20 years of history but were getting put behind a brand new sport. This animosity and rollerblading's recreational roots lead to a homophobic joke amongst skateboarding culture that eventually permeated into popular culture and thus tanked aggressive inline. Rollerblading content creater Tom Moyse made a really good video on this subject that you can check out here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpDHaZquZr-FgrMsi=0URueXPltfUriQo0

[@jordyscomputer]

This is amazing thanks so much for sharing!

[@jeredalmeida1880]

As a skateboarder who grew up in the 90's, I can safely say that... YES! Rollerbladers were considered the enemy and we used to beat the living shit out of each other.

I'm 36. I was ten when this aired. Brink, the paper brigade and Johnny Tsunami made my young self sooooo hyped. I recorded on VHS and watched it sooooo much. I even bought my first pair of Walmart roller blades. And for a time my AIM s/n was BrinkBlader88 lol and it had an amazing soundtrack, the suicide machines and fastball.

As a rollerblader, this movie is a staple of mine and friends' childhood. Edit.. It was so hard to find this movie after my first viewing in 08-09, woke up in the middle of the night to this movie. My friends and I had to look it up on KZbin, and found some low quality versions of the flick. It was nice to watch again when I tried out Disney Plus.

I just want Jordy to know just how much this video changed me. I’ve been going through a very dark time in my life. Working through a lot of childhood trauma. This is the first time I’ve been recommended a Jordy McNeill so I’m genuine when I say that this video shook me on a deep level. Her analysis of this movie is just perfect! Every question, every reaction, and every remark she makes was my reaction. I have loved the movie Brink since seeing it in 1997 when I was 9-10. This movie, along with the Mighty Ducks/Sandlot/Rookie of the Year, was my life. I wanted to BE Andy “Brink” Brinker! Watching her call out Brink on his bullshit, simping for Pete, the sexual tension between Zander and Brink! I had never felt so seen before. It was truly one of the most cathartic feeling. I just wanted her, and anyone else who needs to hear this, to know that someone out there in the abyss sees you. You are valid and allowed to be your true authentic self.

And her falling form was crazy, most unbelievable part of the whole story her caliber if skater should have been fine

[@gzuz4148]

Jordy you do know that shoes on phone wires means either they sell drugs around there or sometimes even gang turf

[@michaelm4464]

In answer to your question: I would think that holding your skates would probably help you be a bit more stable in the air and land a bit faster. Think of it this way: why does doing a cannonball into a pool make a bigger splash than a normal jump? Because bringing your legs behind you increases the velocity of your drop. I would guess the same laws of physics apply in this scenario. Also, yes, it looks cooler.
