Chalkboard Lap Marker

I skated out the front door and zipped straight down the lane to the town skatepark! Over by the shaded pavilion bench, someone had leaned a portable wooden tabletop chalkboard upright next to an open tin of giant pastel chalk sticks. Naturally, I couldn't resist setting up a proper finish gate! Crouching low, I scooped up a chunky piece of sky-blue chalk between two fingers mid-glide. Three, two, one—whoosh! I curved sharp around the timber pillar, dragging the chalk edge across the smooth slate slab in one sweeping arc! Screeech-glide! A brilliant blue curve bloomed beneath my wheels as I braked against the bench foot with a breathless laugh, beaming at my fresh speed ring!
