Hi. I do not own any of the SSX 3 or tricky riders. I have been writing this story for a while. I hope you guys like it. I connected chapter 1 and 2 together because of all the punctuation mistakes, which have been taken care of.

Mac Fraser boarded the plane and sat down in his seat. He smirked to himself. "This is going to be great", he thought. "I am so ready for this tour, and I can't wait to see all my friends." Everyone went on vacation because the first tour was over with. Mac spent his summer in the mountains and was practicing in the off-season.

As soon as the non-seat belt sign came on he sat up and went to go speak to the other boarders on the plane. The first person that he ran in to was Griff. He was setting next to Nate. "Hey," Mac said to Griff, smiling. "Im going to cream you this year"! "You wish," said Mac with a chuckle. Mac and Griff had a reputation to keep in the slopes but any other time they sometimes hang out with each other. They would even play jokes together, but on the slopes they would show no mercy.

(Flashback)

Mac and Griff stood there in the hallways laughing. They had just placed three large snakes in the girl's room. Elise came out of her room screaming, followed by Kaori and Allegra. Zoe was in there playing with the snakes. Mac grinned as he asks the girls what the problem was. They took one look at Mac and slapped him against his face.
He had a lot of red marks on his face from that night. (End of Flashback)

"Hey," said Nate to Mac. "Are you ready for this season"? "You have no idea," said Mac. Mac turned around to look at who was in the front seats of the plane. Zoe and Psymon were sleeping. Moby was looking at a British magazine. Viggo was talking on the phone. Allegra was playing her cd player and Elise was reading a book. "Someone's missing," thought Mac.

No one was in the seat next to where Mac was setting. Mac started to go back to his seat, but Kaori appeared coming out of the bathroom. "Mac," she yelled in a high voice. She ran up to him to give him a hug. "How are you," she ask him, smiling like crazy. "I'm good," said Mac. "How's my best girl doing," he asked her. "I'm doing good," said Kaori. "I really missed you they both said at the same time." Mac and Kaori both laughed. They sat down to talk. When ever Kaori was next to Mac he felt a need to blush, but never thought much about it.

Nate Logan sat there looking through a magazine while Griff was ordering candy from the flight attendant. Nate was looking through the mag for the surfers' big preview. "The big surfer of the month is," he said under his breath. "Oh My Gosh," he said. "It's Elise." In the mag there was a picture of her taking on a huge wave. "That's cool that we have a preview of a person on our team, for a different sport," thought Nate. As he turned the page there was a picture of her in a swimsuit. Nates eyebrows went up. "Nice," he thought to himself. It kind of took like a supermodel shot. The flight attendant came back with Griff's candy. She even brought him an extra. "Your so cute," she said to Griff. He just smiled.

"So what going on with you and Elise Nate," ask Griff while eating his candy. "Nothing," said Nate. "You should tell her," said Griff. "So many guys like her because she's pretty." "If she knew you... you know like her because of her personality she will respect you, and look at you in a different perspective," said Griff. "Number one," "I don't like her...I do, but I don't," Nate said stuttering. "Number two," "I think this candy makes you smarter" he said smiling.

As the plane landed, the riders got out and retrieved their bags. Atomika was there waiting for them. "Hey guys how was your vacation." "Good," all of them said. Atomika gave the riders a chance to chat before they went up to their rooms. "This is going to be interesting," Elise thought to herself.

Elise walked over to where Allegra was standing. "Hey Allegra," said Elise, "You better watch out this season." "You too because you never know if I'm going to come up behind you," said Allegra. They both smiled. Even though they were constantly battling for the gold on the slopes they were ok with each other. Everyone was actually ok with one another-sometimes there would be a few smirks or growls here or there but everyone was pretty cool.

Atomika came back to show the riders their rooms. Each rider's room looked like a mansion. The four girls shared a room and the six guys shared a room. The next day Mac, Griff and Nate went around the town. They went into a few shops. Mac brought himself a few beanies. "How does this look on me," Mac asks? "There cool," said Nate. Griff tried on some shirts, and Nate brought himself some jeans and a shirt. They arrived back at the lodge at twelve noon. "I'm going to hit the slopes," said Mac. "See ya." "Bye," said Griff and Nate. Griff and Nate went to the cafeteria to get some grub. Other people were there too. Zoe and Psymon were talking and Viggo was sleeping in a chair.

As soon as Mac was finished on the slopes he went back to the Lodge. Kaori was sitting down on the sofa. "Hey," said Mac. "Hey," said Kaori. "I saw you out on the slopes today Mac," said Kaori. "That was intense." "Thanks," said Mac. "I can't wait for the party were going to be having in a couple of days." "It is going to be great," said Kaori. "Does Atomika know"? "Nope," said Mac. "It's going to be as fun as the one last season."
