Rock On (2007)
“He crouched down, eyes glued to Alison.
“On your mark, get set, go,” Alison said — and the race was on!
X launched himself into a straight downhill ride. His arms were low and forward, steadying him as he shot past the onlookers. His back foot worked to keep the board in line. He didn’t look to see where Frank was. He focused on staying in control and making it down the hill as fast as he could.
Suddenly, a mound of snow appeared in front of him. X didn’t have time to go around it. Instead, he bent his knees and hit the mound at full speed. Airborne, he grabbed his board with one hand. As he started to fall, he let go and shifted his weight to his back foot. The last thing he wanted was for the nose of the board to dig into the snow and send him flying.
Thud! His landing was hard but clean. Seconds later, he skidded to a stop at the bottom of the hill. Panting, he turned just in time to see Frank finish his run. X gave a whoop and pumped his fist in the air. He’d won!
Frank shot X a m...ean look, unsnapped his bindings, and stalked away.MoreLess
