Summary: The Hacker goes to Radopolis (a planet of skaters) and takes the throne from King Dudeicus. The Hacker outlaws skating, which makes the residents unhappy. The Cyberchase kids challenge Hacker to a skate-off. If the kids win, Hacker must leave Radopolis. Hacker keeps changing the dimensions of the skate-off field, which makes it harder for the kids to compete. The kids eventually realize that while Hacker’s changes keep the perimeter the same distance, the area inside of the perimeter is smaller. With this knowledge they are able to adjust, turn the tables on Hacker’s team, and win the skate-off.
