Messages about the power of kindness, compassion, trust, and loyalty. STEM-based skills can have imaginative applications.

Some stereotypical characters (rich, white bully; Hispanic maid; villain of Middle Eastern descent), but film also has positive representation and diversity (interracial romance, black female Army captain who leads a battle ops research initiative). Miles is a soft-spoken, hard-working athlete with a high (but not endless) level of frustration tolerance. He compassionately helps a creature who seems to need help. Sara is a strong, self-assured, clear-headed graffiti artist capable of dealing with those who try to intimidate. That said, when money and gas are stolen on their behalf, Miles and Sara take it and flee the scene. They also lie to/withhold information from their parents.

Teen romance leads to some kissing and affectionate behavior. Female characters wear shirts that are snug, cropped, and low-cut. A teen chauvinistically implies that he has several girlfriends.

Characters who don't trust or like each other speak negatively of one another. "Crap" is said.

Motocross sponsorships are on constant display, true to reality. Brands include ALiAS MX, BTO Sports, Dunlop, Husqvarna, GUTS, Renthall, Snap-On, SPY, and Monster energy drink. Additional brands seen include Moto XXX, Dodge Ram trucks, and Alliance gas stations. GoPro cameras are used frequently and mentioned by name.

Teens attend parties, carry red Solo cups/hold cans, but it's never said/shown to be alcohol. The "wild" party (other than motocross stunts) consists of teens pulling at giant sandwiches, gnawing on enormous red licorice, and playing in a swimming pool.
