Stunt Landing

I gripped the rubber handlebars of that die-cast motorcycle, aligned the front tire dead center with the incline of the catalog ramp, and shoved forward with full body weight. The miniature chrome bike shot up the glossy slope, caught clean air at the crest, and vaulted straight over a pair of upright domino blocks I had lined up as an obstacle gate. It landed hard on both rubber tires across the hardwood with a solid, echoing thud, skidding sideways into a flawless drift stop. I jogged over, caught the balance bar with one hand before it tipped, and held the stance. Precision and style—executed clean. #Vanillaice
