Arena lights slice through the hanging dust, throwing long, jagged shadows across the chute. The air tastes of dry earth and animal sweat, thick with the crowd’s murmuring anticipation.

In the blur of speed and noise, his voice reaches you, just one word carved from grit: "Ride." you, can you hold on?
