Line 20:
* [[Character Development]]: Mostly Sam, who begins as fairly clumsy and awkward but grows into a competent athlete, even if he doesn't quite approach Otto.
** It also helps that other people become an even ''bigger'' nerd than he is and in contrast make him look even better; but you can still see the growth. Not to mention, Sam actually learns how to surf.
* [[Chickification]]: Thankfully averted with [[Action Girl|Reggie]] for the entirety of the series except for the episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhmCjaZHtFM Reggie-Regina] where she not only allowed a new boy in town that she liked to call her by [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"|her real first name]], she also pretended to be terrible at sports [[No Guy Wants an Amazon|in a misguided attempt to get her to like him by having him teach her to surf]]. Thankfully this gets cleared up [[Status Quo Is God|by the end of the episode]].
** It's also worth noting that {{spoiler|the guy knew she was faking all along because she couldn't flub her foot positioning.}}
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: In the series finale the kids ride bikes over a lava stream and are unharmed.
Line 28:
* [[Disabled Means Helpless]]: In one episode, Reggie meets a snowboarder who has a metal leg. Feeling sorry for her, both Reggie and her dad decide to let her win. However, the snowboarder calls out Reggie on the way she treated her and wanted to be treated normally. Reggie does so by being serious and beating the snowboarder in a race which earns the latter's respect but freaks out her dad(thinking Reggie was being mean to her by winning.).
** Possibly even worse than just feeling sorry for the girl, Reggie admits that she thought a disabled snowboarder winning a race would make a cool story for her magazine.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: See Below
** Also applicable to Reggie. NO ONE calls her by her real name, Regina, not even her father. In fact, aside from the chickification incident cited above, no one has ever spoken or heard of it before or since.
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Twister's first name is Maurice. The episode it's revealed in makes it a [[Running Gag]].
Line 78:
* [[Off-Model]]: The intro.
** Possibly scenes from a pilot?
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Reggie, who's real name is actually revealed to be Regina in one episode. [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"|Nobody in the entire show is allowed to call her this]] as it's a ''MAJOR'' [[Berserk Button]] for her and it seems as though most people have forgotten it entirely.
* [[Popular Saying, But...]]: Blood is thicker than water... But not nearly as refreshing.
* [[Psycho Rangers]]: Episodes featuring Lars and his gang usually match them up with the kids. It's especially obvious when the two crews play hockey against one another.
