Winter Break Extra Credit

It all started out like any normal snow day. You wake up and look online then it says no school so you go back to bed, wake up at 10:00, and call a friend. So I called sonia and we both decided to go sleding today. I had found a really giant hill over by the briggs ymca that other people were sleding also. When we arrived at the hill, we mapped it out and what sides to go off of. We went down one side but it was so slow, our need for speed was not satified. We walked over to the other side and we started going off of it and making ramps. It was all fun untill people started trying to use our ramps, but lets just say that the guys going off of them weighed quite a bit more than us so they totally destroyed them. We gave up in trying to keep them away and went to the other side.

This side was steep! it had at the very end a almost straight uphill ramp. Nobody was using this ramp. I went down it once but chickened out right before I went off. Sonia was too afraid to try so I went again and by this time their was an audience at the top of the hill waiting for me to die after I went off the jump. I was very determinded to land it so I jumped on the sled and started down the hill and lets just say my need for speed was overwhelmed. I flew down the hill and off the ramp. It felt like I was flying and that was the fun part, but the landing was not so much fun.

When I landed it people cheered. It was awesome and apparently I was the only one who landed it all day. That was cool but I just wanted to lay there. Be dead. I got the breath totally knocked out of me and Sonia with the camera took pictures of me just lying there. For the rest of the time there I didn't sled anymore I just watched all the guys that didn't believe I could do it try and nobody did soar through the air like did. Many of them chickened out like I did the first time. I became the little legend for the day that everyone wanted to beat, but I don't think anyone did, well at least not while I was there.
