Dingo wakes up sick from a long night out and decides to go to the hospital. Then the crew meets up with a bunch of local hippies and barters for tie-dye clothing. On the way to Denver, the RV starts to have serious problems and threatens the trip. The RV’s problems worsen until the skate team decides to put it out of its misery.
Danny and Dingo hit the road and stop at a skate park on the way to Reno, Nevada to pick up skaters Silent Mike and Willis, as well as skate filmer Silent Greg. The boys then head to Utah and pick up some supplies to go camping for a night. The next morning they have another premiere and pick up Grenade riders Lucas Magoon and Louie Vito.
