Synopsis
Max Goof, finally free of his father, strives to become the top at his college's X Games. After arriving, Max is met by the reigning champions. Their fraternity leader invites Max to join them but one condition he won't take in his friends since they only want Max and Max declined, but the two bet that whoever loses the finals becomes each other's group's towel boy. Meanwhile, Goofy's empty nest syndrome causes him to falter at work, causing a massive explosion inside at the assembly toy factory and getting him dismissed. The unemployment office reveals that he needs a college degree to get another job, and since Goofy dropped out of college after three years, he is forced to return to college to finish his fourth year, coming to Max's college with his 70's university clothes. Despite Max's grounding efforts, Goofy interrupts their down times with chores, making Max introduce him to the librarian, Sylvia Marpole. They date that coming Saturday, during which Max makes his father join the Gammas, whom he'd accidentally impressed during Max's practices.
Bradley installs a rocket booster on Goofy's skateboard, but Goofy beats Max in the first qualifiers and Max's team barely makes the semi-finals. Max lashes at Goofy to "leave him alone and get [his] own life" and storms off in anger. A depressed Goofy ultimately fails his first round of midterm exams. Back home however, Goofy is inadvertently advised by Pete and Goofy reconciles with Sylvia, who helps him ace the next terms, but when he quits the team, he is literally thrown out. While returning his pin there, he overhears the group plotting for the final, but Max, still angry with his father, does not listen to his warnings.
At the semi-finals, all teams but Max's are eliminated. Just before the final race, P.J. is blasted away, leaving Max and Bobby for disqualification against a replacement. Max calls for Goofy to join, while Bradley is eliminated, but Goofy and Bobby get eliminated as well after accidents. Tank tries winning in Bradley's place, which angers Bradley into making our trio crash into the inflatable X-games logo ship, though they escape the wreckage. And, Max wins by a nose. Goofy congratulates Max for winning the race, but so does Bradley whom Goofy glares his anger at. Max decides to cancel the bet, but he lets Tank slingshots Bradley into the X Games blimp overhead for double-crossing him. In the final scene, during graduation day, Max gives Goofy his grand-prize trophy, as an apology gift for his selfish disownment, and Goofy drives away with Sylvia for their next date.
