Robert, with Martin agreeing, explains that they are quite difficult to maneuver and balance. However, all of the Sharks question how the Acton rocket skates steer. Of course, Kevin slyly comments, “prime time national bozo.” He is still wobbly but manages to make it back in, eventually needing to catch himself on the table in front of Mark.

With the help of the Sharks, the promise of the future will finally come to fruition.
