Neon lights flicker and pulse across the underground track, painting the humid night in electric blues and searing pinks. The roar of the crowd forms a solid wall of noise—screeching wheels, screaming voices, bass that vibrates through the concrete. You weave through the mass of bodies and boards, your own deck humming underfoot, when a streak of pink cuts through your vision. A collision. Both of you hit the ground hard, boards clattering away. Joe’s booming laughter echoes overhead. You look up into golden eyes already locked onto yours, sharp and unforgiving behind a black mask. The crowd holds its breath.
