7, your way(1/2)
By the time Yu Nian entered the Longboard Downhill Association again, Wu Zheng had already obediently given up the only rocking chair in the office for Yu Nian to sit on.
He was sent by Wu Qian to buy high-priced dog food from a pet shop on the street, and was feeding the abandoned golden retriever Chuan Chuan with a dog bowl.
The little golden retriever was wagging its tail, burying its head in the dog bowl and eating happily.
"A dog relies on human strength..." Wu Zheng muttered quietly and rolled his eyes.
Next to him, a group of men nervously surrounded this young man, who in their eyes was extremely beautiful.
Wu Qian stared at Yu Nian's face and felt a little guilty in his heart.
Could it be just a coincidence and I admitted my mistake?
Looking like this, no matter how you look at it, it would be more suitable to be a star on TV.
After coughing, Wu Qian asked: "Um, do you want to join the association?"
Yu Nian raised his eyes and looked at everyone.
Just as he walked out of the street and was waiting for the bus, he saw this group of people rushing out of the streets and alleys and surrounding him.
Passers-by were frightened and almost called the police when they saw a slim and beautiful young man surrounded by such a group of big men.
Yu Nian glanced at him: "I want to use Fang Shoushan."
Wu Qian understood what he meant, he didn't want to join the association, he just wanted to use Fang Shoushan for training.
Because Fang Shoushan was only open to members, he reluctantly wanted to join the association.
What does this mean? It means that Yu Nian is not trying to be cool as his brother thinks at all, but he really wants to train!
Wu Qian suppressed his excitement and said: "Fang Shoushan is open to association members. To join the association, you need-"
"Do you need to make a contribution?" Yu Nian took over his words.
Wu Qian was stunned for a moment.
Yu Nian blinked and asked slowly: "Financial support? Development and construction?"
Instantly realizing what a bad impression his brother had left on others, Wu Qian grinded his teeth and glared at Wu Zheng who was feeding the dog.
Wu Zheng shrank his neck, wanting to cry but without tears.
Come on, are you so vindictive?
Wu Qian smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, no, our association has funding sources and allocations from above. Well, to join the association, your strength needs to be certified."
His tone became more serious, "I saw your application form. Have you never won an award before?"
Yu Nian replied: "I have never participated in a competition."
"Not once?"
"No."
After everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
I haven't even participated in a formal competition.
Wu Qian: "Then why do you suddenly want to use Fang Shoushan? Fang Shoushan is the most difficult mountain for downhill climbing in S City."
"Training." Yu Nian looked at him.
"Training for what?" Wu Qian's voice was a little anxious.
"For Tianmen Mountain, Tianmen Mountain, and the Way to Heaven."
There was silence in the association office.
Wu Qian heard his heart beating like a drum.
He tried to keep his voice calm: "You may not know that there are limits on the number of people and places to participate in the Tianmen Mountain Open, and certain screening will be done for applicants."
"If you don't have proof of past results, you will be screened out during the registration screening stage."
Yu Nian waited for his next words.
"And our association has three quotas for the competition." Wu Qian stood up and his expression became serious, "If you want to participate, prove to me that you have the ability to get the quota."
Yu Nian's palm fell on the long board he had placed beside him.
His fingers traced the "x1207" number engraved on the outside of the longboard.
"Fang Shoushan." Yu Nian stared at him before meeting Wu.
Wu Qian nodded: "No problem."
Fang Shoushan.
Yu Nian opened and clenched his fingers several times.
Everyone followed his movements and focused their attention on his slender white fingers.
Those are a pair of hands that should be jumping on the piano keys, but at this time, the hands are tightly wrapped in gloves.
Yu Nian fastened his gloves and put on his helmet.
He has completed two-thirds of the course study in the system space, and now he urgently needs a higher and more dangerous mountain to verify his learning results.
He put down the longboard and said in a calm voice: "There are three places, I want one."
As he spoke, he slid down the road without hesitation, bringing up a strong gust of wind.
The mountain has been abandoned for many years, with weeds growing on both sides of the road.
Traces of the load-bearing past can be seen on the road surface, and grass grows tenaciously between the cracks in the cement road that were pressed by trucks.
Yu Nian squatted to suppress the wind and reduce the area affected by the wind. He felt that the hamstring muscles of his front legs were being tightened, which told him that his center of gravity was fixed.
Wind resistance is decreasing and stability is increasing.
"Beautiful!" Wu Qian nodded.
From Yu Nian's initial posture, he was sure that this was the young man he had glimpsed at Wenxi Mountain.
Next to him, Wu Zheng was still a little unconvinced after being scolded by Wu Qian. He muttered and asked, "Is he really the big boss you are talking about? Don't be fake."
"Shut up, you know nothing!" This time it was not his brother who scolded him, other association members also glared at him.
Wu Zheng: "..."
Yu Nian has repeated this posture of suppressing the wind countless times, and it has become clear in his mind and has become an instinct in his body.
When his familiarity with the wind-pressing posture reaches its peak, he can seamlessly transition from this state to the sliding posture and the pressure-turning posture when cornering.
The members of the association paid full attention. When they saw Yu Nian's slide, they were surprised and said: "His board control ability!"
When Yu Nian walked on the board, the board swayed leisurely under his feet, but he felt as if he was walking on flat ground, and his body was not affected by the shaking of the board at all.
Wu Qian clenched his palms: "It is absolutely confident in grasping the center of gravity."
With excellent control of the center of gravity and strong board control ability, he already has the qualities that a downhiller should have.
This section of the road passes in an instant, and there is a curve not far ahead.
The coach's voice in the system space seemed to echo in Yu Nian's ears again.
"Front foot, front foot, the center of gravity of all slides is on the front foot."
"Always look forward, that is your road, your direction, the scenery on both sides of the road does not belong to you!"
"Is this your limit? Is this your limit? Answer me!"
No, this is not it.
This is not my limit.
My limit is far from here.
In Tianmen Mountain, the ladder to heaven has ninety-nine turns.
Yu Nian uses his center of gravity and thighs to control the board. When the board is perpendicular to the person, he squats low and presses the board with explosive force at the critical point of changing direction.
Everyone's eyelids jumped when they saw it.
If you don't have solid basic skills and strong board control capabilities, it's easy to make yourself fly by doing this.
Yu Nian maintained his own rhythm and broke out the pressure plate again at another critical point of reversal.
"We're about to turn a corner!" Everyone held their breath.
With the curve right in front of him, Yu Nian moved his hands back and cooperated with the micro-manipulation of his feet. He still did not change his slide trajectory at such a high speed.
The speed slows down slightly when cornering, a beautiful drift.
…
At the finish line, Yu Nian took off his helmet.
Wu Qian hugged him and patted his shoulder: "Congratulations on joining our Mayor's Downhill Downhill Association."
"And, congratulations on qualifying for the Tianmenshan Longboard Downhill Open."
With what he just showed, there is no doubt that Yu Nian's strength can rank among the top three in the association. This qualification is given to him, and no one else has any objections.
