Part 2

Quick on the uptake…? I just fell on my butt…?

When you fall backwards, maintaining a low posture while falling on your butt is the best way to prevent getting injured.

Isotake-sama was able to accomplish that on his first try. How marvelous.

…

AH…! So what you’re saying is a genius in falls equals a genius in getting better, yeah!?

Well, you’re a genius in positivity, at least that’s for sure.

Theoretically speaking, your reasoning is correct as the more attempts you make the closer you will come to succeeding.

Bet~! Then from now on I’mma make a ton of falls and go super speedy~~~!!

Graaaaahhh~~!!

Akuta, look where you want to go, not at your feet!

Hyaaaaah~~~!!

Isotake-sama, your balance is unstable. Please take care to put your weight in the direction you wish to proceed in.

HUUUUUUUUU!!

Match your speed and timing!

UWAHHHHHH!!

*pant* *pant* *pant*…

I know you’re a stamina freak, but do you want to take a break?

Nah, we’re just getting started. I'mma be that guy that keeps falling on this slope until I become cracked at it.

Kinari-san, record all of this 'cause someday they could also become legendary rare footage!

Understood, there is no problem in that regard. However—

*nosebleed* I’mma go another round!

Before that, we should stop your nosebleed, Isotake-sama.

You’re gonna dye this place red like that…!

Here we go!

Isotake-sama is able to go down blue slopes¹ with a gradient of 25 per cent now.

Wow… in such a short time, and even with tissue stuffed in both nostrils…

—Alright, I think it’s about time boys… to try that insanely wicked trick from the video—

! He plans to add a jump next!

I’ll jump and then switch 180 in the air, a frontside 180…!²

Camera, ready.

Remember all the special training you’ve done until now—

(Line of sight, posture, weight, sharks, speed, rhinos, timing, and most importantly, I’m an ultra genius…!)

Now!

(Great, now just—)

…gh!

Akuta!

Pwah! Missed the landing…

Are you alright? From a quick scan, I am not detecting any injuries.

Nrrgg, I’m 100% not alright… At this rate, it’ll look like the snow shark’s biting my head off…

Arrrrgh~~!! I really thought I’d make the jump~~~

Isn’t it too soon to be sad?

Indeed, I think so as well.

Huh?

Replaying footage.

!! Wait… I jumped? Me?

Yeah. You did a super good switch.³

For real for real for real!? On god!?

~~~!! Hell yeah!!

Sure the landing could have been better, but it’d be hard to believe today was your first time snowboarding.

Speaking of which, I believe there is a 51% chance of you succeeding the landing.

If it’s over half then we can pretty much round it off to 100%!

What a rough estimation… but I guess that’s another good thing about you.

Will you two keep shredding with me?

Of course.

We’re already here, so why not?

TAKE 2, we ball!!

Nrrgh! Try to not turn before jumping…!

That was good.

Try popping off the edge more!

Oooh… you got better.

Control how much the board turns!

(But like…)

Switching to manual mode in order to accommodate for changes in brightness when panning the camera.

Next, I should zoom out to capture the entire slope.

Please wear a more cornered expression to portray the image of a snow shark chasing you.

(Akuta’s becoming better and better at snowboarding, but isn’t Azekawa-san getting too into filming…?)

More more more!!

We should be able to get some good footage this time.

TAKE 31!!
