The series chronicles the wacky and dangerous adventures of a duo of ducks, Slax and Geextah, extreme sports fans. Both live as their passion, extreme adventures sometimes push them beyond their limits. In France, the series was first broadcast on France 3 in 2002 before being broadcast on Jetix (formerly Fox Kids) from 2004 to 2007. The show also aired on Super RTL in Germany.
Characters
edit- Slax
- Slax, unlike his friend Geextah is very awkward. He often told his friend-against whatever the topic between them. The ducks love to innovate in sports and sometimes invent some cars and artillery to be on top of extreme. Slax is a little emotional but very jealous; For example, in one episode, a character named Romumu visits the ducks when Slax wins a TV competition, but he lets his friend aside and plays endlessly with Romumu.
- Geextah
- Geextah is the little hot head and the head of the duo. He is highly emotional, very suspicious but a little more "clever" than his friend. The only common, he and Slax share, are the passion for extreme sports and feelings for their girlfriend Arielle. He also likes thrash metal music, as well as cheeseburgers. Geextah himself is a "terror"; for example, in an episode in which he stamps a car with his caravan, he explains that "nobody raced Geextah terror."
- Arielle
- Arielle is the ducks' best and only friend. She is blonde, and, unlike Slax and Geextah, prefers less violent sports; in some episodes, she tries to show that the ducks' sports she practices are better, but without success. Arielle is also a victim of fashion.
- J.T. Thrash
- Thrash is the ducks' worst enemy. He is blond and pretty well built. Thrash is still competing in extreme sports with Slax and Geextah but they can absolutely not become the sack. He is confident, spiteful and spends all the time getting his revenge against the duo because he is still second on the podium.
