Extreme Days (2001)

Four guys out for the time of their lives undergo a spiritual transformation in this youth-oriented drama. Matt (Derek Hamilton), Corey (Dante Brasco), Brian (Ryan Browning), and his brother Will (A.J. Buckley) are four close friends who share an enthusiasm for extreme sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross, and surfing. All four have recently graduated from college and still haven't decided what they want to do with their lives; figuring it may be their last chance to pick up and go without any obligations, the four load up their gear into a beat-up car and set out for a road trip up the West Coast, first heading to Mexico and then making their way up to Seattle -- or as far as their few hundred bucks will carry them. En route to Washington, the boys meet Jessie (Cassidy Rae), a pretty young woman who has found herself unexpectedly stranded and needs a ride to Seattle. Brian is immediately taken with Jessie and offers to let her ride along with him, but he and the other guys soon discover that Jessie is a bit different than the other girls they've known, and as the five head north, they learn some unexpected lessons about life and where they fit into the world. Extreme Days marked the feature film debut for director Eric Hannah, who previously directed the Moment of Truth extreme video series; the theme song was performed and co-written by Toby McKeehan from the popular Christian rock group DC Talk.
