Hey, I bet some of you who have read my The New Girl story are wondering why the hell I deleted it instead of continuing it. Three reasons… number one; I had no motivation whatsoever to complete it; number two, I liked my new story line better XP; and finally, number three, my chapters were too damn short… so, this is why I came up with a new story… unoriginal name, but whatever… Oh… and I typed this story before the announcement of SSX Blur for Wii… By the way… GRIFF IS REALYY BACK!! YAY!

Chapter One

The New and Old Boarders in Town

The jet plane soared through the sky to land eventually on the starting mountain for the new boarders and vet boarders that were entertaining themselves in some way while on the ride. A few boarders were talking among themselves while others read magazines or books or even watched an in-flight movie. Some of the younger participants had handheld games for the Gameboy Advance SP, Sony PSP, or the Nintendo DS.

DJ Atomika and DJ Rahzell had returned from being out of commission for a couple of years. True, the DJs' had recently met, though they got along and chatted with each other about irrelevant things that life-long buddies would do. Though now, they were sorting through boarder profiles. Some being the returning vets, even from a very long time ago; Marisol, Griff, Luther, Moby and Eddie to name a few. Elise, Zoe, Psymon, Allegra, Mac, Skye, Sid, Tyson, Nate and Kaori were returning from the last SSX Games. Atomika looked at the newbies profiles that were competing in their first year and raised his eyebrows in ranking that they were.

Jean Smith, fifteen years old, skateboards as well and is Kaori Nishidake's cousin; as for Jean's start, she says, 'I only learn from the best… Kaori', from Reno, Nevada; Adam Schwartz, thirteen years old from London, England… he has showed great promise so the Snow brand companies say that sponsor him; Crystal Nolan, seventeen years old from Banff, Alberta, Canada… has been snowboarding since she could walk and her parents own different mountain resorts, too; Jenna Andrews, twenty eight years old from Sacramento, California… though is mysterious and stern, she moves swiftly and elegantly during race events; lastly, there was Leo Foster, eighteen years old from Sheridan, Wyoming… not much on here other than that he's one of the best show stoppers on the mountains in competition.

Atomika patted Rahzell twice on the shoulder to get his attention then showed him the newbie profiles. Even Rahzell looked at them with piqued curiosity to what they could do. He looked up to spot the newcomers and eyed them as the plane descended towards the place the boarders and DJs were to be at. As soon as the plane landed and came to a stop, boarders were shaken awake, others stood up to get their belongings and stretch from the time consuming trip that cramped their legs and arms.

As soon as everyone was ready, the boarders shuffled out into a great hall that they followed to be directed into a lounge that had beanbags, red and black leather couches, a seventy-two inch HD television for watching live feeds of SSX competitions and to top it all off, it even had a bar for the older racers… though they did serve hot cocoa and soft drinks to the younger competitors.

Everyone took a seat and got comfortable as the two DJs made their way up to the center of all the boarders and smiled at all of them friendly. Some of the boarders that returned beamed in delight as they saw the two old DJs again… Rahzell especially, the returning vets had all missed him and his comedic personality.

"Okay… first off… I'd like to say to the returning boarders of the SSX Games, welcome back… to the newer boarders of this year, welcome to your first ever SSX Games. Now the SSX Games have been going on for five seasons now, changing location just about every time, though this year we're proud to say that this time, it's a world tour of the SSX Games. We'll be traveling to Europe, Australia, Asia… you name it. This year is going to be one of the more eventful years ever. To the younger crowd that are still in school… well, let's just say that since we took you out of school, we took your books and school supplies too." Atomika stated, ignoring the groans of the adolescent crowd. Rahzell cleared his throat and continued before the other DJ, "now I know most of you know the SSX Games rules… but the newer competitors don't, so we're going to go over all ten of them"

"Now wait a minute there, mate," came Moby's indiscriminate British accent, "the last few years there have only been six. What's goin' on?" he asked, arms crossed over his British flag shirt. Atomika looked at Moby and replied, "since the SSX competitors have been known to do something during the competitions, the founders of this has added a few extra…"

"I see… so then, what are they?" Moby asked, looking at the two DJs to announce the rules that have been set for this seasons games.

"Rule number one," Atomika started, "there will be NO foul play in racing events… pushing is the only thing that is acceptable. Rule number two, there will be a curfew for all the boarders, you must be in from outside at eight PM and bedtime is eleven PM. Rule number thee, there will be NO fighting in the lounge or lodging cabins." Atomika looked at Psymon, Zoe, Moby and Allegra specifically for this one.

"Rule number four, there will be NO late night practicing," Rahzell continued, looking over at Mac, "rule number five, boarders MUST carry their M-COMMs at all times. Rule number six, drugs will NOT be tolerated, unless they are pain relievers or prescribed medications. Rule number seven, if any bones are broken in this event, you are to be sent home immediately. Rule number eight, teen boarders are required to do their studies when instructed to. Rule number nine, don't sass the DJs or the founders of SSX unless you want to be disqualified. Rule number ten…" he was cut off by most of the other boarders that have heard the rules before saying, "have fun."

"Now that this is settled, here are your keys for your cabins," Atomika motioned to a table that had two keys for each cabin, one for both people staying in one cabin, "I hope you all have a nice week before the Games really begin." The boarders walked up to the table with the keys on it and picked up the keys that had their names on them then walked out of the lounge with their bags and bidding adieu to the two DJs for the night.

One of the newbies, Adam Schwartz looked around him to all the boarders that were in the room. He counted them out and came up with twenty-seven people including himself in the SSX Games this season. A blond kid the age of fifteen walked up to him and smiled, "it's not like the other competitions I've been part of… but I know how you feel, the first SSX Games is always nerve wracking," he told Adam, glancing around a bit. Adam looked at the kid and nodded in agreement then held out his hand.

"I'm Adam Schwartz," Adam told the kid in his English accent and with a warm smile. The kid looked back at him with a grin and shook his hand as well, "I'm Griff Simmons," the blond kid told Adam. They both walked out of the lounge chatting with each other like they've known each other for years.

"I'm sponsored by GNU, K2, Spy, Grenade, Red, Forum, KR3W and SoBe… what about you?" Adam asked Griff, turning towards him. The blond turned to face him then replied, "um… well, there's Burton, DC, Four Square, Volcom… um… Red Bull, and Dragon." Griff replied with a sheepish grin. Adam raised his eyebrows and looked in front of him and pointed, "then you know her, right?" Adam asked, Griff looked in the same direction that Adam was looking in and saw one of the SSX newbies, Jean Smith.

"I don't know her formally if that's what you want to know…" Griff replied, looking at Jean as she twirled the key around her finger by its ring and walked outside. Adam shook his head, smiling as he and Griff walked through the glass double doors to the cabins that waited for the boarders to settle in. Adam looked at his key number then looked back at Griff, "sorry, I got to go this way, see you later." Adam turned to the left turned back to the blond and then said, "why don't you talk to her? She's cute!" he turned before the blond could get a chance to reply and then disappeared into his lodge.

Griff looked ahead of him and shifted his backpack so that it was more comfortable for his to wear then continued forward. He glanced at his key number then glanced at the cabin beside him. It was the same number and he walked towards it, opening the door to find bags already in the living room part of the cabin on the couch and a girl sitting in the kitchen, reading a Transworld Snowboarding magazine. Griff set his stuff on the floor next to the couch and made his way into the kitchen only to see Jean Smith sitting there. She looked up at Griff and stood up, the blond was as shocked as she was and they both opened their mouths at the same time and said, "it's you!"

Jean sat back down though was still staring at Griff, not even knowing why she was in the same cabin as a boy! Griff was thinking along the same thoughts, though he had no problem with it whatsoever. She was pretty cute when he got right down to it, and she seemed like she had a pretty decent personality the little times that they've met for sponsor team meetings. They were after all, sponsored by most of the same brands. Burton, DC, Dragon and Volcom to be exact.

Kaori Nishidake

The Japanese girl walked by herself to the cabins feeling happy to be with Mac again though angry that Psymon was in the SSX Games once more. She sighed to push her emotions down and walked to her cabin, opening the door and placing her bags on the floor next to an end table. She didn't know who her cabin mate was, though she was hoping with all her might that it would be either Elise Riggs or the newer SSX competitor, Crystal Nolan.

The door opened once more and in came a girl wearing a sky blue camo jacket and had her orange hair up in a ponytail. Kaori beamed as she saw the familiar Aussie back in the SSX Games.

"Skye! It's so good to see you again!" Kari exclaimed, speaking flawless English. It was true, that the two years before the fourth SSX Games, she practiced her English and even went to a vocational school to enhance it and speak it with no accent. All this for the person she most admires and cares for, Mac Fraser.

"What up, Kaori?" Skye asked in her chirpy, Australian accent. She looked over at the hall way that had two doors down it that must've been the rooms that the two boarders have been assigned.

"I'm wondering why all the boarders from the last four years have suddenly showed up actually… or why they were re-invited." Kaori replied to Skye. It was true that she had been in the SSX career for the whole five seasons that had been around, but now there being way more boarders than she was used to? There were easily over twenty boarders in total.

"Same here… I may not have been here for that long… but I'll tell you, I've been watching the SSX Games since I was at least… maybe twelve years old." Skye replied, "in fact… it was that 'lil kid, Griff Simmons that inspired me to become part of the SSX Games… he's younger than I am and I was always dreaming of being part of the SSX team." Kaori turned to face Skye an smiled.

"It's almost every boarders dream to become one of us…" Kaori replied, thinking back on the days that she first got to be in the SSX games. She had finally made it to be a pro-snowboarder, she still loved doing what she was there to do. Have fun.

"Yeah, I guess that's true in and of it's own sense." Skye replied, shifting her ski bag from one shoulder to the other. Kaori picked up her stuff and headed down the hall to her room. It was late in the evening and she was pretty tired from the plane ride to the SSX Games. Skye did the same and bode Kaori goodnight.

Both room doors closed and instantly, both girls dropped their bags and flopped down on their beds, not even getting into their own beds properly. Even Kaori still had her panda backpack on as she laid on her bed.

Elise Riggs

The blond, super-model looking woman had her stuff organized and neatened out in her drawers and where she wanted them in her room. She had jackets hanging in her closet and snow boots neatly lined up on the floor in her closet as well. Elise smiled approvingly at her room and how clean it was, it even had her favorite scent, vanilla caramel. She walked out of her room and into the living room where a Latino woman sat on a couch, her shirt was tight and stretched out across her breasts and her pants were also tight, making her butt seem larger than it really was.

"God, of all people that were here tonight, why in the bottomless pits of hell, you?" Elise groaned. The Latino woman turned to face Elise and stood up, smirking to herself. She crossed her arms and looked at Elise scornfully.

"Esto es todo muy malo." Marisol scoffed, brushing her long blond hair out of her eyes, "you know, now I'm wondering the same thing. Though… Yo soy un mejor mirar super modelo que usted será jamás." Elise looked enraged, sure she didn't know Spanish worth a penny, though since she heard 'super modelo' she figured it was an insult about her. Elise relaxed and since she was French Canadian, she spoke her first language in a sharp manner, "Pas recevoir vos espoirs en haut, chienne!"

"Yo no tengo tiempo para esta basura…" Marisol sighed, picking up her bags and shoving past Elise to go into her own room. The taller blond scowled after her and then went into her room where she changed into night wear. She locked her door just in case Marisol tried to do anything to her as she slept, which was known to happen. Back in the second season of the SSX Games, Marisol had snuck into her room and drew embarrassing things on Elise's face in the middle of the night, the next morning she had a permanent ink moustache on her face and didn't even know about it till Eddie had told her.

Elise walked to her bed and crawled under her bed sheets, she leaned over and turned off her lamp. Elise closed her eyes only to snap her eyes back open to loud Latin music playing in the next room… Marisol's room. Elise furrowed her brows and closed her eyes, mentally planning her revenge on Marisol.

"Ceci va être une saison longue…" Elise groaned, pulling her pillow over her head to drown out the music. The music got louder and Elise gritted her teeth as she forced her eyes to stay closed, she wasn't going to let Marisol get to her this year and she was going to wipe her out of the SSX Games FOREVER. Even if it included breaking the rules, if she got caught, she'd blame it on the Latino woman. Elise smiled as she slackened her grip on her pillow and took in deep breaths and exhaled slowly to calm herself to sleep.

Allegra Sauvagess

Allegra already had her room in a mess as she unpacked her bags. She jumped on her bed and looked at the TV, turning it on. She sighed happily as she felt comfortable in her room.

"Ah, just like home…" Allegra sighed, stretching her arms and legs and reverting her attention back towards the TV as she watched re-runs of the SSX Games on the X-Treme Sports channel. She watched as Mac made his way through a race then the camera shifted to Elise and Zoe, fighting for third place. Allegra laughed as she saw this, she knew that back in the third season of the SSX Games, Elise and Zoe hated each other since the beginning of the very get-go of the SSX Games.

"Hey, anyone here?" came a voice out side of Allegra's room, it sounded familiar and a smile made it's way across Allegra's face as she heard Zoe Payne drop her bags on the floor and walk around the place then pause, presumably stretching. Allegra got up from her bed and looked out her door; Zoe wasn't even paying attention to any movement around her. Allegra opened her door wider and casually walked out of her room and behind Zoe. Before Allegra could even pounce on Zoe to surprise her; Zoe held her hand up and sharply told her, "nice try, 'Big Al.'" Allegra rolled her eyes and got out of her pouncing stance to walk in front of Zoe.

"Gonna cream Elise this year?" Allegra asked, hands behind her back and smiling at the same time.

"Yep," came Zoe's response.

"Gonna beat me this year?"

"Yep."

"Gonna teach 'lil Griffy a lesson if he tries hitting on you again?"

"Yep."

"Gonna keep using those stupid skis?"

"That's it!" Zoe shouted looking up from her notebook and lunging for Allegra. The red-head already knew that this was coming and dashed to her room, evading Zoe at the last minute. Allegra slammed her door in Zoe's face and a loud "HA" could be heard from behind the door. Zoe pounded her fist on the door and growled a bit. Zoe hated it that Allegra didn't like the fact that she skied, but Zoe admitted that skiing was a hell of a lot better than snowboarding by far. The speed, the maneuverability, the more tricks that could be pulled off… it was enough to get an adrenaline rush just thinking about it.

Zoe sighed and walked back into the living room to get the rest of her stuff and organizing them in her room.

JP Arsenault

"Ah, il est si bon être revenu!" JP said aloud as he walked into his cabin. He'd been out of the SSX Games for two years and had suddenly got an invitation back from the SSX Game founders. Of course he accepted, though he was wondering if he would still be considered the 'bad boy' of the SSX Games. Probably not, it was probably Mac now, maybe even that little brat, Griff Simmons. JP snorted at the idea of that as he went to his room and set his bags down by his bed. He took off his shades and set them down on the end table, not really bothering to see if anyone was already there inside the cabin. Though there was no noise coming from the extra room, so he figured that there wasn't anyone there but him.

JP walked out of his room and into the kitchen, not expecting anyone to be there. Though the tall, muscular build of Brodi Ford stood there in the kitchen, sipping at some freshly brewed coffee. JP furrowed his brows and with a French accent, asked, "what ze hell are you dewing heere?" Brodi put down his cup of coffee then replied in a calm and nonchalant tone, "relax… it's only the beginning of the season… save your anger for when the games really begin."

This only enraged JP more. He didn't want a cabin mate and especially not Brodi for a one! Since JP first joined the SSX Games, he made it self-evident that he didn't like ANYBODY. As far as he was concerned, everybody that he was around could piss off and die. JP had clenched his fists as Brodi talked to him calmly. Finally, JP snapped, though stormed to his room and took his anger out on a pillow so that he didn't get disqualified from the SSX Games.

JP took in deep breaths, ran his fingers through his hair and fell down onto his bed, closing his eyes as he did. He just wanted to get the night over with, so he fell asleep shortly afterwards.

Meanwhile, Brodi still stood in the kitchen, bringing the coffee cup back to his mouth and taking small sips from it. To tell the truth, he as well, wasn't too happy with his current situation either. Brodi knew that he could do nothing about it but tolerate it as it is. He sighed and picked up the book that was by his elbow… the book he was reading before JP came into the kitchen… 'Diamond Mask' by Julian May. He had enjoyed the book, though people always told him that it wasn't really his style… a sci-fi fiction type of book.

He didn't care. He kept reading the book till he got drowsy enough to get up from the table and trudge to his room. Shortly after going in, he changed and slipped under the covers of his bed and fell asleep.

Crystal Nolan

The newer of the SSX Games competitors was sitting at the edge of her bed, watching TV. Mainly Fox 7 so that she could catch later episodes of 'Malcolm in the Middle' and 'The Simpsons.' Other than that, she watched 'That 70's Show.'

She hadn't really associated herself with anyone of the SSX Games except the Japanese boarder that she idolized since she was about ten years old. Crystal smiled to herself, and kept her eyes glued to the television screen except during commercials. She also didn't know that there was someone inside the cabin with her. She stepped out of her room while the commercials were running to get a late nigh snack while she watched TV. She also ran into Jenna Andrews, who was untying her '32 Brand' snow boots.

"Oh, hey…" Crystal greeted as she saw Jenna. The unruly woman looked up and waved back, not really saying anything. Like most of her sponsors have said, she's a woman of few words. Crystal turned towards the kitchen and took a pack of strawberry gummies from the cabinet that she had put there the moment she had walked in her new lodging. She walked back to her room with the pack of candies in her hand, taking a small glance towards Jenna as she disappeared into her room. She sat back on her bed just in time to see on the TV, Malcolm and Reese set off a whole barrage of fireworks off that were lined up against the barbwire fence of their cousin's ranch. Then a larger firework that illuminated the whole place as if it were daylight.

"So how long is this supposed to last?" Malcolm's cousin asked, walking forward and reaching around for something that he could grab onto as Reese and Malcolm did the same. They were obviously blinded by the firework.

"About three days…" Malcolm and Reese replied, their cousin nodded and replied, "well it was worth it…" Crystal rolled her eyes and laughed a little. She always kind of liked Frankie Muniz and his sense of humor. She watched the credits roll by then got up the changed into some boxer shorts and a baggy jersey for the night.

A knocking came at her door and she walked over to open it. Jenna stood there, looming over her. Crystal brushed back some stray strands of dirty blond hair and looked up at Jenna.

"Tomorrow later in the day… care to join me for practice?" Jenna asked, her voice deep though mysterious. Crystal found that she didn't really know how to reply to Jenna. She nodded and said, "yeah, sure… anytime!" Jenna gave a slight nod then walked to her room, simply saying, "good night."

"Yeah, you too." Crystal replied, closing her door and going to her lamp and turning it off. She laid in her bed, watching one last episode of 'Malcolm in the Middle' before drifting off to sleep.

Mac Fraser

Mac was sitting on the couch in the living room area of the cabin with his cousin, Marty, who seemed to have settled on the couch with his feet propped up on the coffee table. They were both watching a comedy with Dane Cook in it. They were both still laughing after a few of the jokes that Dane had said.

"Kids… I've been thinking about kids… maybe have eighteen of them. I think naming them, man that's going to be fun… you know what? I don't care, my first kid, boy or girl, their name's going to be, 'Brrrlllll.' It's feminine but strong!" Mac and Marty had broken out in a new fit of laughter at this.

"It's time for bed, Brrrlllll… I said it's time for bed, Brrrlllll!! NO COOKIES FOR YOU!" there was a pause of silence then Dane started up again on the TV, Mac and Marty both with tears in their eyes from laughing too hard, "my other kids… I'll name them after my favorite characters from my favorite TV shows. 'Yeah, Optimus Prime, come over here and sit next to Liger Zero... Brrrlllll, I said it was time for bed!! Gem!! Gem!! That sister of yours… I swear… GEM!!'" Mac and Marty couldn't breath they were laughing so hard.

The TV flipped off and both Marty's and Mac's laughter was cut short as they saw Leo holding the remote, though he looked very tired. Mac got up and patted the newbie on the back in a friendly manner, "sorry man, didn't mean to wake you." Marty stood up and was wiping the tears that were stained in his eyes and the ones that streamed down his cheeks and chin.

"It's alright… I'd be out here doing the same thing, only that the trip here tired me out…" Leo replied, yawning as he finished his sentence. He handed the remote to Marty who set it on the table. Mac patted Leo on the back once more and told him, "you need to go rest up, man. You look like you came from a cemetery."

"Gee, thanks…" Leo replied sarcastically, trudging back to his room and closing the door after him. Quickly, he went back to bed and fell asleep. Mac and Marty exchanged grins and Marty head for the main cabin door.

"Listen, I'll catch you up tomorrow for practice." Marty told Mac as he walked out the door and back to his own cabin. Mac nodded and closed the door after his cousin then went to his room and flipped on the TV, making sure to keep it quiet AND made sure that it wouldn't make him burst out laughing. Shortly after laying down and watching an episode of 'Crank Yankers,' he fell asleep without turning off the TV.

Seeiah Owens

The African-American lady was sitting on her bed in her room, brushing her hair that came down to her back now. When she first joined the SSX Games, she had shaved her hair off because of a hack job that her younger sister pulled on her while she slept. Now, Seeiah looked a lot different from the second season, though she hadn't been back since she left to do something else after the second SSX Games. She didn't think anyone would recognize her, but then again… she didn't really care. Seeiah took off her purple parka, hung it in the closet and then walked to her mirror to braid her hair.

She got back up and untied her snow boots, then walked out of her room, not really caring if anyone were there or not. Seeiah prodded into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. She put the jug back into the fridge and then took small sips from her glass… not noticing the front door to the cabin slowly opening up.

"Um… hello?" came a familiar voice. Seeiah looked up from her glass and saw Eddie Wachowski walk in with two bags slung over his shoulders lazily. Seeiah cracked a smile at one of her friends to be returning to the SSX Games.

"Eddie, long time, no see…" Seeiah told Eddie from the counter top. Eddie turned his direction to Seeiah and smiled in return, "yeah, it's been a while, you look great!" Eddie exclaimed as he noticed how long Seeiah's dark brown hair was.

"So… what do you think so far?" Eddie asked, implying the SSX Games fifth season. Seeiah shrugged then replied, "it seems interesting… world tour, that's gonna be pretty cool, I think."

"Yeah… tearing up the best spots in the world, and even revisiting a few… I wouldn't mind going back to Tokyo Megaplex again." Eddie admitted. The African-American nodded in agreement, "maybe even Garibaldi or Alaska as well… those courses were pretty fun."

"I'd like to see the ones that they had for seasons three and four. Elise said that Much-2-Much and Kick Doubt were pretty fun for the third season. She also said something about a track called 'Son of a Birch.' She called it dry humor on their part." Eddie chuckled a bit and set his bags down, relieving his shoulders of the weight.

Moby Jones

The African-European entered the lodge and set his bags down on the ground, breathing in and saying happily to himself, "sure is good to be back!" He picked his bags back up and then carried them to the room he was claiming for himself, no one else had come by yet, so he was the only person in the cabin for now. He unpacked his belongings in his room and decided to shower.

Fifteen minutes later, Moby got out of the shower and got dressed. He then went to go and get something to eat… only to run into Viggo Rolig. The platinum blond-haired guy looked up at Moby and his facial expression fell, "dammit…" was all Viggo said before he got up from the couch and go to the room that didn't already have someone's belongings in it.

"Ugh… this is really going to be a long season…" Moby said, shaking his head slightly and getting something to drink from the refrigerator. He wasn't too thrilled with being in the same cabin with Viggo, but that's just how it was for now…

'Well... at least it isn't Psymon...' Moby thought, draining the bottle of water that he held.

A/N and I'm ending the chapter here... sorry that I wasn't able to go through all the characters DX I'm sorry, hopefully the next chapter'll be better. Please R&R!
