Sonic and his friends were gathering for the latest race for the year, Tails was tuning their Gear when he noticed a large truck pull up to the bays.

"I wonder who that is?" he asked watching as a grey person stepped out of the cabin,

"No clue, Tails" said sonic now looking over at the truck,

Grey stepped out of his truck when he arrived at the race track; he knew that the famous Sonic the Hedgehog would be racing so he jumped at the opportunity to race him, Grey walked around the truck to the back and unlocked it revealing an array of Extreme Gear: boards, skates, bikes, air riders and a ton of parts all over the walls and shelves.

"Which Gear should I use today?" Grey asked himself as he stepped into the trailer,

"Would it make a difference?" asked a voice outside,

Grey turned around to see Knuckles the Echidna standing at outside the trailer arms crossed staring at him, closely followed by Sonic and Tails. Grey couldn't believe that Team Sonic was talking to him, he smiled.

"Well to win a race you need the right Gear" explained Grey turning to face the group holding his red and black goggles.

"Well that is true" agreed Tails "you have a lot of Gear"

Grey smiled as he looked over the board Tails was holding, a sun yellow board he made himself.

"I believe in being prepared for a race just like you" stated Grey picking up a board,

A look of confusion appeared on Tails face "what do you mean by that?"

Grey put the board down and picked up a pair of skates "I mean only someone who wants to be prepared works on their gear just before a race".

Sonic smiled at Grey "let the best man win…Uhh?"

"Call me Grey" said the hedgehog "Grey the Hedgehog"

"Well Grey the Hedgehog" said Sonic turning around and walking away "good luck today"

"Same to you Sonic the Hedgehog"
