What is the name of the main character in 'Brink!'?

The story behind the answer

The main character in “Brink!” is Andy “Brink” Brinker.

Played by Erik von Detten, Brink is a high-school inline skater in Southern California. He and his friends—Peter, Jordy, and Gabriella—form the Soul-Skaters, a group that skates for enjoyment rather than money. Their values clash with Team X-Bladz, a more commercial skating team led by Val.

The story’s central conflict begins when Brink’s family experiences financial trouble. He secretly joins Team X-Bladz for $200 a week, even though doing so conflicts with the Soul-Skaters’ principles and his father’s wishes. That tension drives the film’s coming-of-age story.

“Brink!” premiered in 1998 as the third Disney Channel Original Movie. Its title is the character’s nickname, not the name of his skating team. The film also loosely adapts ideas from the 1865 novel “Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates.”
