** Ditto with the jewelry-clad gangsta clowns complete with a pimped-out lowrider car. While they do appear to be part of Grimsley's troupe they don't seem to carry as much of a threat as the other henchmen, only just serving to be eye candy of sorts for Mitch to enthuse.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Birdman has been kidnapped by circus freaks. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue him?]]
Tony Hawk in Boom Boom Sabotage is a 2006 Canadian DirectToVideo computer-animated sports film featuring Creator/TonyHawk and produced by Creator/MainframeStudios (of ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' and later ''WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}}'' animated movies fame). As the name implies, it ties in with the ''Boom Boom [=HuckJam=]'' series of extreme sports spectacles Hawk and his team staged in the mid-2000s.

The story revolves around a band of skater kids who rubbed elbows with the Birdman himself who was just about to stage his Boom Boom [=HuckJam=] show in the tech-dominated city of Lincolnville where video games and skateboarding are cool...

...only for Hawk and his fellow skater friends to be abducted by a circus troupe led by an eccentric, washed-up ringmaster named Larry Grimley, who kidnapped the skating legend in an effort to revive his failed circus act. The kids, along with their military vet-turned-skateboarding organizer friend Frank set out to rescue Tony and save the show.

A link to the full movie can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXFFtjo3kX0 here]].

----
!!The film provides examples of:
* AbsurdlyCoolCity: Lincolnville, with its more or less futuristic vision and emphasis on technology and video games.
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The skater kids stumble upon a huge storm drain pipe leading to Grimley's hideout while on their way to rescue Tony.
* ActionGirl: Kit, the sole female skater in the group.
* AsHimself: Tony Hawk, in one of his many roles as himself.
* BadassInDistress: Tony and his Boom Boom [=HuckJam=] crew.
* CainAndAbel: Inter-cousin example - Grimley turns bitter towards his cousin John Dullard, who happens to be the mayor of Lincolnville responsible for destroying the now-outdated circus in favour of skateparks and high technology.
* FakeHairDrama: Dullard's blond toupee.
* ForcedCreativity: Hawk and his Boom Boom [=HuckJam=] cohorts are abducted to be part of an otherwise lackluster circus.
* GlamRap: Switch Mitch with his "gangsta" persona and affinity for bling-bling.
* {{Gonk}}: While most of the main cast's appearance is basically stylised, Grimley and his circus troupe are depicted to be deliberately hideous and run-down.
* MotionCapture: Adding to the film's authenticity was its extensive use of mocap in the skating sequences, with Hawk himself and his fellow skater-actors providing their performances. This wasn't the first time Mainframe used mocap for actors' performances though; they utilised it to great effect in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheNutcracker'' a few years prior.
* OldSoldier: Frank, who used to be a military officer prior to organizing skateparks and skate events.
* RepulsiveRingmaster: Larry Grimley. As if his eccentric persona wasn't enough to make you sneer at him.
* SelfDeprecation: The film pokes fun at Tony's celebrity status, particularly in one scene where Tony's skater colleague chalked his disappearance up to having been busy with press junkets and lame voice acting jobs. Heck, it might have been poking fun at ''the film itself''.
* ShoutOut:
** The Titanic Hotel is quite obviously a dig on [[UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic a certain ocean liner]] which sank on her maiden voyage in 1912.
** During that sequence when Tony's [=HuckJam=] co-stars were abducted, one of Grimsley's henchmen was on a trike, mimicking the infamous trike sequence from ''Film/TheShining'' complete with the carpet pattern.
** The [[https://vimeo.com/73891175 press trailer]] for the film makes references to other high-profile celebrity kidnappings such as the infamous [[https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/lindbergh-kidnapping Lindbergh kidnapping]].
* ThePrankster: Jesse.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Frank, who is named and modelled after Tony's late father [[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/for-dad_b_3443731/amp Frank Hawk]].
* VoiceChangeling: The aptly-named troupe member Mimic, whose ability to copy someone else's voice makes up for his dimwittedness.
