Slash groaned as he finished in third, and Jam had even beaten him, Slash felt quite obliterated by the entire event, and even broke out into ranting about unfair advantages and whatnot. Linda wagged her finger at Slash, "I believe someone owes me a foot-kissing?" Linda shook her nose snobbishly at Slash, who went white in the face from her words. "But just so you know, I don't want your gross, dirty lips on my nice clean feet." Linda sneered, "Just the mere pleasure of beating you is good enough for me!" She let out her loud, evil-like laugh and then hopped over to the Lift- In to get back to the top of the slope.

Slash fell to his knees, and punched his fist in the snow, angered by Linda's attitude. "That damn girl, all she ever does is talk, buy top quality gear, and beat everybody with things only she buys, I've gotta get back at Linda somehow, I just gotta!" Slash hopped over to the Lift-In, a bit upset at his loss.

Jam too was feeling the painful effects of defeat. Jam threw down his hat and began shouting and hollering like a baby, he took his board off his feet and threw it over into a nearby patch of snow. He ran over to grab his board, still angered, he ran over to the lift in after getting his board, slumping into the seat, and looking up at everyone as he headed up.

The class seemed to cheer as Linda approached the top of the hill, seeming happy she won her own race challenge, the only few not cheering were Slash, Jam, Tommy, and Nancy. Slash and Jam walked over to Nancy, looking over at Linda and the crowd that was celebrating her win. "Soda and Hot Dogs for the whole class!" yelled Linda as she was carried away by her classmates.

Nancy patted Slash's back gently, trying to cheer him up, but Slash still was red in the face from both exhaustion and anger. "Slash, you did your best, that's all we can ask." Nancy said. "NO!" Slash yelled back, "I could have done better, I could have won! Just because she has a better board doesn't mean I couldn't have beaten her!"

"You really couldn't have helped her having a better board then you." Jam said to Slash, "She's the rich girl in the town, but hey, there's ways of beating her, even we've beaten her our own times Slash, it's just another bum run for us this time, we'll have our day again." Jam blinked at his own words, almost stunned by what he just told Slash. Slash blinked as well, but seemed to understand the little speech Jam gave. "You know, you're right Jam." Slash replied. "I've beaten her at Dizzy Land, Grass Valley, and even Ninja Land, this one loss isn't gonna have me bawling into tears!" Slash jumped up, feeling a lot better. "Thanks a lot Jam, that helped a lot." He gave Jam a high-five, picked his board back up off the ground, and walked over towards the crowd.

Nancy smiled, seeming to feel a lot better that Slash was a lot more confident. She leaned on her board and watched as Slash approached the crowd and Linda being carried by the crowd.

Linda caught Slash out of the corner of her eye, and hopped down from the crowd to face Slash eye to eye. "If you're still looking to kiss my feet, don't bother." She said, chuckling to herself. "I'm not here to kiss any disgusting feet of yours, you little..." Slash replied and cut himself off, getting a very interesting idea. "Hey Linda, how about a little wager, since it seems you can ALWAYS beat me, now that you have a Star Board." "Oh, what would make me want to race you again when I know I can win?" Linda spoke back, giving him a look.

Slash began to describe to Linda of the course called Night Highway, Linda had never been to Night Highway before, and Linda was intrigued by this challenge. "Hmm, what's the catch?" Linda said, as she tapped her foot. "Whoever wins gets everyone else's boards!" Slash said. Everyone's eyes widened as they heard Slash's stakes, thinking Slash was going insane. "Why would I race you for your crummy board, and anyone else's crummy board?" Linda asked, giving him another look. Slash winced a bit, then spoke. "Because I am going to be using a board that I've never used before, that is extremely hard to come by, I got it for winning a Snowboard Tournament a while ago, and I haven't used it at all." Linda raised an eyebrow, then spoke, "Let me see this so-called 'rare board', and I'll consider it." Slash nodded, "Meet me after school, Jam, Nancy, Tommy and I will take you to my place to see it, so they can also see what they can play for."

Linda agreed, shaking Slash's hand, grinning, believing to herself that she had this race in the bag, but Linda had never been to Night Highway, and in a way, she felt some doubt for herself.
