R: "Why don't we, indeed!"
BZZZ - phsssh - bus stops - our heroes take to the street
R: "This is terribly steep. I'm very excited. This is the steepest street I've ever taken my new board down! I'm doing fine. What a beautiful carve I am making down this hill! What? It seems I am going a little too fast! I better straighten up and think about what to do."
Thinking... thinking... picking up speed... thinking... ejecting... running... falling... ripping flesh and fabric... cursing...
