Trading Paint (Racing On the Edge)
“ “Are you alive?” Ryder asked peering over the side.
It took me a minute figure out what went wrong and if I was alive. Eventually I caught my breath enough to answer him. My head rested against the dirt as I looked up at the sky. Trying to recall what went wrong when I blipped the throttle before the jump. No, that wasn’t the problem. The problem was when I thought that me, the kid who raced cars, not dirt bikes, could kick his leg off the bike behind him like he was dismounting. Most Supercross stars have problems with this trick. Why I thought I could do it was clearly a prime example of my stubborn pluckiness. The plan was to land smoothly back on the ground but it didn’t shake down that way, nope, my leg got stuck.
“I think I am.” I huffed throwing my leg over the bike again. “I think we should make the jump bigger.” Ryder’s eyes widened with each word. “That way, you can just jump this part.” I gestured toward the gaping hole in the ground.
The screaming of a two-stroke engine ...charged from behind and we both turned to see Tyler and Justin side-by-side heading for the jump I just demolished with my non-existent Nac-Nac skills.MoreLess
