Kythe, Corona, Zyler, and Kimberly lined up at the starting line. They decided to settle things on the slope, normal rules in place. That meant they'd have all weapons and enhancements available to them, to which none of the contestants disagreed.
The lights counted down, and on blue they launched from the starting line, each gaining speed rapidly. Kythe made it out in front first, followed by Corona and Kimberly close behind. Zyler fell in behind them but lost pace quickly. Kythe made it to one of the drops first, an old rock he could toss backwards to try and trip one of the racers behind him. It was better than nothing, so he tossed it backwards without looking, and kept his focus forward.
Corona and Kimberly both swerved around the rock -- they had great control of their boards -- and Corona managed to hit one of the drops herself. She opened it, revealing ice shots, one of her favorites. Kythe and Zyler were already well acquainted with the effects of this weapon. Meanwhile, Zyler lay in the snow far behind now, having just tripped on Kythe's rock.
Corona left Kimberly and sped up to catch Kythe at a tactical moment. There was a big jump before the finish, and Kythe was approaching it. Corona shot off all the ice shot charges, and as her rival was about to make the jump, he was frozen in place. Coronoa passed him, making a face at him as she did, then flew off the jump and slid into the finish line as she landed.
Kimberly passed shortly after, making her own face at the trapped boy. His ice block shattered, and Zyler swerved by to help him up. The two friends hopped of the ledge of the jump and picked up tremendous speed descending the steep decline, and then they slid into the finish line with the girls leaning against the railing, looking as smug as ever.
"Nice try boys!" Corona called.
"Better luck next time!" Kimberly added.
Kythe and Zyler grumbled, then navigated to the lift while the girls gloated behind them. "Hey don't sweat it bud, we'll get 'em next time." Zyler said
"Heh yeah man. I can't believe she got me with that shot!" Kythe replied.
"It's all good. That was a single lap, with only a couple drop points. Let's go hang at the board shop, maybe they have new stock."
"Good call! I've been thinking about getting a new one."
