He also receives a kiss from Denise, who broke up with Jonathan, her insensitive and callous boyfriend. On the day of the event, his friends give him a new suit, a rock representing Rico's extensive pyrotechnic work, and a motorbike. Rod gets his friends back together, and they start setting up for the jump. As Kevin accepts his apology, he reveals that Rod's stunt footage has grown popular online and that a show on a local AM radio station, hosted by Barry Pasternak, has offered to cover the planned jump's expenses. Humiliated, Rod quits the team and his dream to beat Frank, despite his friends' objections, but is reinvigorated when Dave gives him advice that inspires him to apologize to Kevin. Upset, he returns home, where his mother reveals that his biological father was not the stuntman he thought he was. He gives the projectionist all the money he has raised to cover the damages and avoid arrest. Rod gets angry and throws the theater's projector out of a window, smashing the projectionist's car below. Kevin releases the movie using his footage of Rod's stunts and sells several tickets to the screening, where the audience laughs at Rod as the film depicts his failed training attempts. Impressed by Kevin's work, Rod gets the idea to release a stuntman film to raise money. Kevin says he was experimenting with editing footage, and shows Rod the video. One day, he gets curious about what Kevin is working on as he hears music coming from his computer. To promote his stunt and raise funds, Rod works parties, corporate get-togethers, and other events, performing activities such as taping pillows to his body and having a washing machine suspended by a crane swing to hit him. Later, Denise, his neighbor and love interest, joins his team. Rod quickly meets with his childhood friends Rico and Dave and his half-brother Kevin, and tells them he plans to jump over 15 school buses and use the proceeds to fund Frank's surgery. Angered at the thought of Frank dying without getting a chance to gain his respect, Rod runs into the woods to let out his fury and tumbles down a steep hill, where he sees an inspirational billboard and gets an idea. After another failed jump attempt at a public pool, he returns home and learns that Frank is in urgent need of a heart transplant that the family's health insurance will not cover. Rod makes many attempts to land jumps with his Tomos moped, most of them unsuccessful. Meanwhile, his stepfather, Frank, does not respect Rod as a man, often going out of his way to beat him in sparring sessions and mocking his stuntman dreams.
