Above the Mountains

Snow flakes fall slowly towards the previously coated mountain top from the drifting clouds above. The tall, slender snowboarder double and triple checks his boots and bindings, taking every precaution he can. Knowing that there is no backing out now, the snowboarder, a yellow and black dot, inches his way to the deadly edge. He tightly closes his eyes and clenches his teeth, letting his muscles take control and pushes himself off the mountains highest ledge. In mid air, hundreds of feet above solid earth, he grabs the tail of his board and begins praying that he will safely land the potentially deadly trick.
