The snowboarder.

I waited most of my life to get this far. I’m finally here. Its where I tried to get for so long. I’m at the world’s snow boarding championship.

A shot from a pistol goes off, and the race begins. There are 6 other snow boarders and me. With 3 boarders in front of me and 3 behind me. I can here the sound of other boards cut in the fresh trail; I can here here the crowd cheer as I slide up into second place. As I try top block the sounds of the other boarders and the crowd cheering, I start gaining on the man in first place, I come up behind him and I can feel the cold snow coming off his board hit my face and melt. I see the ramp coming up. I pray that I can make it across it without falling; this is the part that I practiced the most for. The boarder in first place makes at across without falling. I come up to it; I jump and swing my body. I can’t believe I’m doing it, I can hear the sound of the board hit the steel pole. I make it across; as I look down the trail I see the other racer has fallen. I’m gaining on him, before I know it I pass him and I’m crossing the finish line.

I won! After waiting all my life I’m here and I won. I can’t believe it; it’s like a dream come true. I guess hard work really does pay off.
