Disclaimer: This story takes place in the first Snowboard Kids, not Snowboard
Kids 2. That's why Wendy and Damien aren't in it.

(which was your own idea for a band name) and I just wanted you to know that
that CD is mentioned in this story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(continued from Act 2)
The Kids looked at Sinobin. Tommy said "alright, let's go!" But Linda
interrupted. "There can only be 4 kids racing at a time. Who doesn't care if
they win or not...who doesn't want to race?"
Nancy raised her hand. So did Slash.
"Ok, you two can sit out if you want." Linda replied.
Jam stepped up and looked at Linda. "Do you remember that kiss on the
cheek you gave me for making you breakfast in bed?"
Linda rolled her eyes. "Yes..."
Jam looked down at his feet. "Well, I was just..sorta wondering if you
could give...me...another one if I win?...You know...as a reward?"
Linda looked suprised. "You meant that?"
Jam nodded.
Linda smiled. "I can give you one right now for good luck and then if
you win, I'll give you an even bigger one! Deal?"
Jam nodded vigorously. "Yeah! It's a deal!" They shook hands and then
took their places at the start line by Tommy and Sinobin. Tommy pulled out a
candy bar from his pocket, but Sinobin halted him.
"You'll get a stomachache from eating that."
Tommy laughed. "Since when?"
"This is a short course..." Sinobin explained. "...but it spans nine laps."
The Kids gasped. "NINE LAPS? ARE YOU NUTS OR SOMETHING?"
Sinobin laughed a little evilly. "No, I'm testing your strength. Nine
laps and anyone who survives is champion of the slopes."
Jam got sort of an insideous look in his eye, due to his hunger for fame
and fortune and wanting to be famous. You must admit, he was rather conceited.
Sinobin caught Jam's look. "You think you can win? Don't lie...I can
see that look in your eyes."
Jam grinned his mischievious grin. "I don't THINK I can win...."
This surprised Sinobin. "You don't, eh?"
Jam snickered. "...I KNOW I can win!"
Tommy's stomach rumbled. He looked at the ninja. "So can I eat this
candy bar or not?"
Sinobin shook his head. "Okay. Hurry though...we have to get racing soon."
Linda laughed. "Don't bother telling him to hurry. If it takes him 3.5
seconds to eat a burger it'll take one second to eat that."
Sure enough, Tommy had already finished. "Okay. Let's race."
While they waited for Mr. Dog to drop down in his hot air balloon and
sound the signal to start the race, Jam looked at Linda. He nudged her in the
side with his elbow and whispered, "So where's my 'good luck charm?' "
Linda put her arm around Jam's neck, leaned over and gave him a kiss on
the cheek. Jam blushed and was just about to give her one in return when Sinobin
rudely interrupted.
"Stop the turtledove crud and pay attention! Mr. Dog is here!" He snapped.
The two blushed. "Sorry."
Good old Mr. Dog appeared in his little hot air balloon, looked at his
watch, held the pistol upwards and said "READY...SET...GO!"
The four kids except Nancy and Slash were off. Sinobin, Tommy, Linda and
Jam were heading down the slope at top speed. Sinobin had the ability to dodge
any attack the other three launched, and this frustrated the other kids to no end.
Tommy, being the fastest, easily caught up to Sinobin, but whenever he passed the
ninja up, Sinobin would blast him with a Snowman shot and send him careening into
a wall. Linda, the second fastest, was thin and nimble and dodged most of the
attacks Sinobin launched at her, but when he picked up a Frying Pan item and slammed
it on the other threes' heads, he was once again in first place. Jam, being the
best at tricks of all the boys but not exactly ranking high in speed, had a lot of
money to use on items and shots. He shot Ice Shots at Sinobin left and right, but
despite the Master Trickster's efforts, Sinobin was still a lot more agile and quick
than the other three put together.
On the fifth lap out of nine, Tommy had kept up the position of 1st place
a long time without Sinobin's notice, but when Sinobin saw him, he yelled a sort
of ninja battle cry and shot bombs and parachutes all at the same time. When Tommy
looked over his shoulder and saw the myriad of shots aimed at his backside, he screamed
and ran into an Item Box desperate to get something to shield him from the shots.
Luckily, he got a Speed Fan, which he immediately activated so that he was faster
than the incoming shots for a time. Right on cue, he entered the lift as quickly
as he could, and did so just as all the shots merely missed and hit the opposite wall.
Sinobin cursed something in Japanese and entered the lift right after Tommy,
who was followed by Linda in 3rd, and Jam in 4th. The next two laps, #7 and #8, were
just as brutal. The Kids didn't know what to do. Sinobin had them outclassed, outdone,
outsmarted and outmanned in every area of race tactics. Infact, everything was looking
grim for the Kids. If Tommy didn't win, he wouldn't be able to get an upgrade to his
All Around Board with the earned money. If Linda didn't win, she wouldn't have been
able to get that ruby ring she saw in the jewelry store, and if Jam didn't win, he
wouldn't be able to buy that new Hyperbot CD (as well as the fact that he wouldn't get
that kiss reward from Linda!)
Finally, after what seemed like FOREVER, the Ninth and Final Lap arrived.
The Kids were as nervous as ever. No way they were going to win. No way. This
Sinobin guy was way better than all the famous snowboarders put together.
But one of the kids wasn't losing faith. This kid was absolutely determined
to win. This kid swore that if they didn't win, they'd deny themself the title of
pro boarder. So off the kid went. Chasing after Sinobin, he slipped past him, used
an invincible item to dodge a frying pan attack but tripped over a rock, got back up
and started after him again and saw Sinobin approaching the finish line.
Sinobin laughed. "I knew it! I knew it! I am the one! I am the champion!"
All snowboarders don't even come close to the dragon's fury of Sinobin the Snowboarder
Ninja! I am the one!!! I am-"
"You are SECOND PLACE, BUDDY!" A voice cried out. In all of his foolish pride
and ranting and raving about himself, Sinobin had forgotten to pay attention. He was
hit by an Ice Shot and frozen in place. Frozen solid, he could only watch in horror as
the kid mentioned earlier crossed the finish line with a loud cheer and a roar of applause
from the audience. It was the kid who was'nt losing faith. The kid who was determined
to win. The kid who swore that if they didn't win, they'd deny themself the title of
pro boarder. It was...
"And the winner is.....JAM!!!" Mr.Dog announced to the hysterical crowd.
Sinobin recovered from his frozen state just to watch in awe as Tommy finished 2nd
and Linda in 3rd. Getting up slowly, he sadly crossed the finish line with a heavy heart.
Shaking his head, he watched as Mr. Dog landed his hot air balloon and stepped out to
present a huge gold trophy hardly light enough for Jam to hold with both hands.
Jam set it down, bowed to the crowd and flashed his grin full of pearly whites.
Tommy and Linda shook hands with Jam and applauded for him.
It was at this moment, that something rare happened. Sinobin, the toughest
ninja snowboarder in the whole Rocky Mountains area of Alberta, Canada-
-started to cry. It wasn't loud or even audible-just a bow of his head
followed by a tear running down his left cheek. Through blurry eyes, he looked at
the cheering crowd, at Slash and Nancy joining the other three to congratulate Jam,
at the huge trophy and the money prize inside.
It was at this time that Sinobin said sadly to himself,
"I have learned an important lesson today...and that is never to do anything
in foolish pride...for it comes before a fall."
* * *
"That was soooo cool, the way you snuck up behind him and froze him in place!"
Nancy praised in her high little voice, as the five kids made their way back to the
entrance/exit of Ninja Land. "I never coulda done that!"
"That was the bomb, man." Tommy said as he finished another candy bar.
"Thanks." Jam laughed, as he dodged the candy bar crumbs flying from Tommy's mouth.
As the kids made their way towards the entrance/exit of Ninja Land, Linda tapped
Jam's shoulder and then said to the others, "Wait up! Me and Jam have something to discuss."
Linda led Jam into the temple they had visited earlier. The other kids just looked at
each other and shrugged.
Inside the temple, Linda was the first to speak.
"Jam...I just wanted to tell you that you did a really great job on winning the race."
"Thanks." He smiled.
"...and I wanted to tell you also that I'm really proud of you for not giving up and
not letting down your guard against all his attacks and everything."
"Thank you." He said.
Linda looked at Jam. "And...there's one more thing I wanted to tell you."
"Which is?" Jam asked.
Linda looked him straight in the eye. "I want to apologize for acting the way I did
these years-what with trying to control everyone's lives and all....I know it's funny that
I'm doing this because it's something you'd least expect from me, but I have a good reason for
it."
"What's the reason?" Jam asked curiously.
Linda was silent for a while, then she spoke up.
"The reason is...I'm apologizing to you for how I've been so mean and how I've
been such a snob and that's why you probably want nothing to do with me, and because I acted
like that you probably don't like me very much. Well, I'm sorry and I just wanted
to tell you that I have a different reason...one for why I was acting that way for so long."
"Why?"
Linda was silent.
"Why?" Jam asked impatiently.
"Because I have a crush on you." Linda blurted out, and she looked the other way.
Jam was shocked. He didn't know what to say to her. After a while of silence,
he finally said something.
"So the reason you were mean to me all this time is because you were PRETENDING you
hated me so that the others wouldn't know that you liked me?"
Linda nodded.
"I didn't even know you liked me either! I thought you really hated me!!!"
Linda shook her head. "Nope. I've always liked you."
Jam smiled. "Well, in that case, I guess I like you too!"
They both laughed and laughed together, and they gave each other a hug.
"Thank you for telling me." Jam replied.
"Let's go. The other guys are probably getting mad at us for taking so long."
Linda suggested. Jam nodded in agreement, then something else came to his mind.
"Say, Linda...you never gave me that smooch for winning the race like you said
you would! And you promised too!"
Linda smiled. "Okay. Here goes."
The two kids hugged each other and kissed for what must have been at least a minute.
As they walked out of the temple, Tommy spoke up first.
"What the heck took you guys so long? Let's get home before my stomach collapses
in on itself."
Slash laughed. "Tommy, with your big belly that's hardly possible."
Tommy looked offended. "Man, that hurts! I've been trying to eat less, you know."
Slash snickered. "What - and limit it to 1,000 burgers a day?"
Tommy tackled Slash. "STOP FLAMING ME!" He began hitting Slash.
"I'm sorry! I was just joking!" Slash cried, dodging Tommy's fists.
All the Kids laughed at the two's bickering and fighting, and after the brawl they
made their way home. As they passed through the entrance/exit to Ninja Land, they were once
again in the snowy blizzard that they arrived in. But with a trophy, lots more money, some
loose ends tied up and their goal accomplished, the trip home seemed much shorter this time.
And as they left, Sinobin, who was perched atop the red gateway to Ninja Land, watched
them with a practiced eye. As their shadows disappeared into the winter mist, the ninja snowboarder
had only one more thing to say....
"Farewell, Jam.........Champion of the Slopes...."
