"That's great! Congrats! I knew I could count on you winning." Flash said with huge smile across his face. All her adrenalin and energy was brushing off on him. He did everything he could to keep from jumping on a board and racing with them. Hmm, maybe... Nah someone would notice. "Well I better let you rest and prepare for the next race. Keep up the good work!" he said as he patted her shoulder and passed her to congratulate the other winners and maybe potential team members.

Avira smiled back at him, the excitement practically radiating off her. "Thanks! I'll see you later then!" She talked to a few of the other riders while they rested up for the next race. This was going to be a great day, with so much excitement and energy coming from everyone in the stadium, she was already pumped up for the next race of the contest. She and the other contestants made their way over to the next starting point.

"Hello I'm Cliff Mohr, thanks for checking in with No Limit, your all access pass to the most extreme and hot sports of today. We're here at the ILMATAR for one heck of a show. Harkin Boards is hosting a tournament for a new AIR boarding team." The camera zooms out from Cliff to reveal a huge dark haired wind-armor. Topping 6 and a half feet this guy was pure muscle and abnormally large for a wind-armor. "I was lucky enough to catch up to Alcander Keith," Cliff continues, "the winner of the drag race. So, Alcander how does it feel to win the race?" "Well, it feels awesome. It's just so great to be able to have this opportunity to race and have a chance at getting on the team." Alcander responds. "You seem to have a good chance, that was some power out there! And look at this kids arm!" Cliff pulls up the arm spoken of. "Pure muscle people. Your odd for a wind-armor." Alcander lets out a nervous chuckle. "Yeah, I am kinda the odd ball of the family, everyone else is small and thin." "It seems to definitely be working for you out on the track! Congratulations on the win, we'll let you head on over to the next race." Cliff shakes his hand and Alcander shuffles away saying his thanks, glad to be out of the spot light. Up in the stands Flash returns to his seat. As he nears his seat he spots his mechanic and child hood friend Gideon. "Hey Gideon! About time you showed up, the first race it already over." Flash yells to him and then slides into the seat next to him. "MHM! I wahs getving nawchoves!" He explains holding a half empty carton of cheesy nachos and spitting the half eaten crumbs onto Flash's face. "Uh thanks man." "Sorry," Gideon apologized. "I stopped to get nachos." "I see," says Flash, "Did you see the winners? I think we're going to have some good riders." "Yeah, that huge guy?" Gideon remarks, "Definitely has some wicked power man. He had like a 2 second lead the whole time!" "The rider in all black who placed 3rd has talent too I won't be surprised if she makes the team." Says Flash, and then the speakers come on to make the announcement that the second oval race is about to begin.

Avira lined up at the starting line, as all the racers started to show up and crowd in. She looked to her right and found herself straining to look up at the huge rider next to her, he dwarfed her a good foot and a half, that had just walked over from the interview. "They caught you too huh?" She laughed when he nodded. "You ran a great race, good luck man!" She strapped into her board, adjusted all the straps, and got ready for the race to start.

Alcander looked down at the small rider dressed in black beside him, "Thanks," He said strapping himself up as well, "You're pretty quick yourself, can't wait to see how this race ends." And with that he crouched down into a starting position waiting for the "GO".
Up in the stands Flash waits impatiently for the race to begin. "Now this will be a show between those two. " He said refering to Avira and Alcander. "Yeah, Alcander sure has some power, but the girl is is quick with her manuvers." Said Gideon beside him. All eyes, racers and spectators a like, were locked on to the clock now waiting for count down to commense.
3... "BEEP." 2... "BEEP." 1... "BEEP." GO! "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!"
And the race was on.

She set off quickly at the Go and pulled ahead, with a few others, to the head of the pack. She looked beside her and saw Alcander. She made a quick maneuver and pulled in front of him. She maintained her place in the top ten for the first 19 laps, then her and Alcander pulled into the top two places. They battled for first, each making quick movements to try and gain the lead. Avira managed to slide into first just as they crossed the finish line.

The race was intense with a photo finish. As the racers rounded the final corner you could hear the announcer's voice, "And here they come down the final stretch! This is it folks! It's neck and neck between our previous winner Alcander and the girl who placed third, Avira. Who will it be?! This is just too overwhelming! " The announcer pauses for a breath, "And it seems Alcander will take home another first place! BUT OH! What is this? Avira pulls ahead and... Yes! Avira seems to just get by and wins the race! What a show - what a show!"
The fans are all on their feet and cheering in the stands. Gideon is standing next to Flash hitting his arm for emphasis, "DUDE! Did you see that? Oh man! They were like this! And then wham! She pulls up! And they're like right there! Battling man! And boom! She gets ahead to win it! I thought the big guy was gonna get it for sure!" Flash pushes him away "Dude I saw it! I was right freaking here!" Gideon stops his rambling, and Flash thinks about apologizing but Gideon responds first, "But it was so cool!" Flash just sighs and pulls him along. "Come on lets get down there."

Avira gradually slowed down and came to a stop with Alcander next to her. She turned to him with a huge smile on her face, then waved to the crowd. "That was an awesome race!" She said to her fellow rider. The reporters and others encircled them, congratulating, yelling questions, and reporting on the race. Using her size as an advantage she managed to slip out of the circle by ducking under a large camera and between two reporters trying to get the best vantage point. She sat on her board and slowly drifted around, cooling down from the last race, and avoided large crowds and nosy reporters.

When Flash was able to get down to where the racers were he could barely catch a glimpse of Alcander, and Avira was nowhere in sight. "ALRIGHT EVERYBODY MOVE!" He yelled raising his arms and pushing through the mob to reach Alcander. "Okay everyone let’s give the guy some air, get your pictures later, moooove!" Flash finally reached the middle of the mass. "Hey, Name's Flash," He said extending his hand, Alcander reached out and shook his hand. "How could I not recognize the famous AIR boarder and owner of Harkin Boards?" Alcander responded. "This is great meeting you, you and your dad were like biggest thing to me when I was a kid." Flashed smiled, "Hey, it's great meeting you, a potential team member. You have some real skill man." At this point Flash noticed Avira floating over by herself. "HEY AVIRA! COME OVER HERE!" He saw her head come up and she gradually turned her board towards him. "I know you’ve met Avira, you guys were neck and neck out there, but I want you meet a good friend of mine, this is Gideon.” He said motioning to the young man standing next to him. Gideon pushed in front of Flash, “By ‘good friend’ he means ‘Official best friend and master mechanic.’” He shook Alcander’s hand as well. “Yeah, I remember reading about you in No Limit Magazine. I’ve seen your work, pretty amazing stuff.” Alcander responded. “Thanks,” Said Gideon, “Now where are those food vendors... I’m starving! Ooo, hot dogs!” Flash rolled his eyes, “You have to excuse him he never stops eating, yet never gains a pound… I think he has worms.” They were both laughing when Avira pulled up.

Avira heard flash yell her name and looked up, she drifted over to them, moving through the departing crowd. She took off her helmet as she approached them. It had blocked out some of what the group had been saying. "He eats a pound of worms?" Avira had just caught parts of the end of their conversation as she came over. She laughed at the odd parts that she pieced together. "What's up guys? Enjoy the awesome race?" She then turned to Gideon and her face lit up. "Oh my god you're Gideon!" She suppressed a fangirl-like squee and a strong urge to glomp him. I've been watching way to much anime lately... She thought to herself, while trying to maintain her self control and dignity. "I love your work!" Being interested in the mechanics and engineering of A.IR. boarding, she followed the work of many people, most recently Gideon.

Flash and Alcander couldn’t help but laugh even harder. “I wouldn’t put it past him,” said Flash. When Gideon returned, arms full of hot dogs, he almost jumped at Avira’s outburst. “Oh, hi, thanks, I love it too.” He smiled and shoved a hot dog in his mouth. Flash reached over and grabbed a dog from him. “Thank you, it looks like you got a fan Gids.” Gideon pulled his hotdogs out of reach from anyone else, “Well, at least someone appreciates my work.” He said accusingly. “Hey! I do so appreciate you little buddy.” Flash said messing up Gideon’s hair, “Well, you were great out there Avira congrats on the win, and you’re both amazing boarders. I can’t wait to see what happens next. What is next?” Gideon still chewing a hotdog yelled out, “MHM! Itvhs teh rowd cowrse!” Flash shook his head, “I’m going to assume you said road course…” Gideon nodded. “Mmmhm!”
