Brink!
1998 · Film · 91 min
Directed by Greg Beeman
Andy "Brink" Brinker and his in-line skating crew--Peter, Jordy, and Gabriella--who call themselves "Soul-Skaters" (which means they skate for the fun of it, and not for the money), clash with a group of sponsored skaters, Team X-Bladz--led by Val--with whom they attend high school in southern California. When Brink discovers his family is in financial trouble, he goes against the wishes of his parents and his friends and joins Team X-Bladz. Brink tries to lead a double life but will be able to pull it off?

Phineas and Ferb is awesome. I'm 22 and I watch that show.
Your frustration is justified IMO. Among the other interests I had growing up were movies like Johnny Tsunami and Brink where I wanted to get out and be a cool extreme sports athlete like the main characters in those movies. The fact that I picked the tech industry IMO shows that society doesn't always push kids to pick things up from examples, but providing the option to discover interests via same-gendered examples is imperative in my opinion. I really have no data for this other than my own personal experiences, however I did read a blog post maybe a year ago on the effects of television and career path choice which I thought was interesting.
