PLOT

Two teenage skateboarders, Jeff and Noodle, are the only ones in their peaceful town of Middledon who realise that the weird strangers from Neo Corporation are actually aliens. Jeff and Noodle do their utmost to prevent the aliens, led by the scheming Astrid and the bumbling Brian, from destroying their beloved skatepark and taking over the town.

Middledon is invaded by aliens in this pacy 2003 teen series. Jeff and Noodle — goofy 21st Century skaters — stumble upon the conspiring Neo Corporation. Being the only ones to see Neo's nefarious plot, the duo must resist mind control (teen spirit anyone?), save the town, and stop the skate park being 'wasted' and turned into a mall. Writer and executive producer Greg McGee described the two main characters as a "sort of junior Dumb and Dumber", which he says appealed to the target audience, alongside the skateboard stunts performed by two top Kiwi skateboarders, Kevin Francis and Brett Chan.
