The ski resort managers probably also like this sudden incident. With this, the most searched topic in the ski circle today must be their ski resort.

So they moved quickly, and within a short period of time, they cleared a 550-meter-long deserted snow trail for the two bosses at the starting point of the advanced C trail, and set up 18 gates.

The "chess gate" is an important prop in the parallel giant slalom. The flagpole is made of an elastic telescopic pole. The red and blue flags are inserted into the snow, leaving the colorful part of the flags exposed. The athletes need to flexibly use turning and speed control techniques during high-speed sliding to bypass the chess gate and reach the finish line.

In a regular parallel giant slalom race, the final result is composed of two rounds of results, but it is not as simple as adding up the time it takes to pass the track twice.

In the first round, two athletes start at the same time, and the time difference between them crossing the finish line is calculated.

In the second round, the two players exchange lanes, and based on the time difference in the first round, the lagging player will delay the start by this time difference (the maximum delay is 1.5S), and the player who passes the finish line first will win.

So Shan Chong and Dai Duo will play two rounds.

In the first round, Shan Chong played the blue chess path and Dai Duo played the red chess path. They switched in the second round.

Finally, the competition results are obtained.

This kind of pure speed competition has nothing to do with park and flat flower games. Speed ​​competition tests basic gliding techniques. Among the three types of snowboarding, only carving is very close to it.

Therefore, those who like to play drums are basically carving players, which falls within Laoyan's business scope.

"Is Chong's board okay?" Lao Yan stretched his neck, looking quite worried. "I have a racing board left at the bottom of the mountain. Can I go get it for him?"

Different playing methods have different requirements for the softness and hardness of skis and ski boots.

From flat flowers to park to carving, the required equipment has correspondingly increased hardness.

In line with the high hardness requirements of snowboards and ski boots for carving, professional racing mode snowboarders have special racing boards and racing shoes, and their shoes can even be as hard as ski boots.

"I don't need it," Backstab squatted beside him, puffing out smoke. He said he didn't need it, but the wrinkles between his eyebrows were so big that they could kill flies. "Dai Duo also uses his own park board."

Speaking of Dai Duo, Lao Yan becomes a little uneasy.

"Is this guy a bit sick?" he asked. "He came all the way from Changbai Mountain to pick a fight. Does it have anything to do with him where Chong is skiing, where he takes lessons, and who he teaches?"

"I don't know," Backstab obviously didn't want to discuss this question, "Maybe he just can't get used to seeing Chongshen not return to Changbai Mountain."

“…”

Lao Yan got to know Shan Chong later, so he wasn’t the first one to be accepted as his apprentice. However, since he was close to Backstab and the others, he knew a little bit about them.

Shan Chong first came into contact with snowboarding in Changbai Mountain, and he was hooked once he started…For many years and many snow seasons afterwards, he never left that place.

He has spent two-and-a-half thirds of his life in Changbai Mountain. It can be said that he grew up skiing on the snow of Changbai Mountain...

Then, he was selected for the professional team, the provincial team, and the national team.

Then, he participated in competitions of all sizes and won many awards at home and abroad except the Winter Olympics.

Then, everyone said that whether our country, which started skiing very late and snowboarding even later, can defeat the strong countries with regional advantages such as Northern Europe and North America in a certain Winter Olympics and win a gold medal in snowboarding depends on this person.

Then, one winter, without any warning, he suddenly retired.

Everyone was stunned at that time.

Not many people know the reason, but those who do choose to keep silent.

Regardless of whether they knew about it or not, some people, like Lao Yan, expressed regret over Shan Chong's sudden retirement, while others, like Dai Duo, cursed and condemned him.

About a ski season after his retirement, Shan Chong reappeared in Chongli, Zhangjiakou. He returned to the ski circle in a low-key manner, usually guiding his apprentices, and going to Altay, Xinjiang or Japan to ski on the wild snow at the end of the ski season. He has become an ordinary ski enthusiast.

But after he left Changbai Mountain, he went to many places and skied on many mountains, but he never returned to Changbai Mountain.

--above.

This is all the story about Shan Chong that Lao Yan knows. He refuses to tell any more details or backstabbing.

But he knew that something must have happened in Changbai Mountain, which caused Shan Chong to suddenly retire and never set foot in Changbai Mountain again.

"..."

Thinking of this, Lao Yan stuck out his butt, a little bit unable to hold back. His baby face was harmless. He lifted the woolen hat on his head and threw it into Backstab's arms: "Now that things have come to this, can you tell me what happened between Chongge and Dai Duo? Dai Duo has always lived in Changbai Mountain, and Chongge was also in Changbai Mountain before. Don't treat me like a fool... Tell me, is there a story in Changbai Mountain back then?"

Backstab throws his beanie back.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and then said, "There is no story, but there is an accident. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

"hear."

"What should I do if I hear you crying?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Speak now!"

Backstab hesitated for a while before asking back.

"Do you know that Dai Duo is the first athlete in the country to complete a 2160° turn on the 8-meter platform?"

"Hmm?"

Of course I know, it’s written on his personal homepage on a certain short video website, right above a bunch of brand sponsorships, Lao Yan thought sourly.

Backstab bit Cigarette's butt, and a stream of milky white smoke came out from the corner of his lips.

"… Let me put it this way, his LINE2160° would not have been possible without Chongshen."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt out of the corner of my eye that the head of the older boy next to me was twisted towards me with such force that it seemed as if his neck was going to be broken.

Backstab smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Dai Duo who was not far away with cold contempt, and spoke in a nonchalant tone: "That's it."

"...What?"

"Strictly speaking, I still have to call Dai Duo my senior brother."

Lao Yan opened his mouth, but was too shocked to utter a word.

Backstab stopped laughing and put out his cigarette at his feet: "Later, Chongshen had an accident on the same eight-meter platform - the platform that brought Dai Duo fame in China."

"What is it?"

"I fell... my spine."

Just a few simple words.

In freestyle skiing, you have to perform difficult moves on such a high platform... For every athlete, the first sponsorship should be the orthopedic department of the local hospital.

It has little to do with whether you are a professional or non-professional athlete.

It has something to do with whether or not you have received professional training and know how to protect yourself and how to fall safely, but it doesn't matter much.

I broke my arm and leg, but they can still be used after some repairs...

But the spine is different.

If it falls, it's gone.

It's that simple.

I stopped talking about backstabbing here. I stopped talking about it. Some things don’t need to be said so clearly. The word “fallen” is so light, but how heavy and hopeless it actually is…

I heard it, and when I brought it up again, the sound of breathing around me almost died down.

You can see it by looking at it. Turning your head, you can see Lao Yan standing next to you. He looks like he is dying and about to cry. His eyes turn red, which is especially noticeable on his fair face.

"Screw it," Backstab said in disgust, "For a moment people thought I had done something to you. Isn't that disgusting?"

Lao Yan didn't argue with Backstab this time.

He grabbed a handful of snow and covered his face with it, then silently brushed it off. He looked at the backstab, looking pitiful, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you feeling better now?"

"No," said Backstab mercilessly, "It's still like someone burned the entire household registration book."

“…”

"I told you that you would cry after hearing this, but you still didn't believe me."

"Shut up, woo."

…

Shan Chong obviously didn't know that his disciples were crying for him not far away.

Everything was ready. He adjusted the angle of the binding, changed from the figure eight stance (*the angle of the binding was that the left and right feet were in a figure eight stance) to the straight stance (*the angle of the binding was that the left and right feet were facing the same direction at the same time), stood at the starting point and moved his neck.

Make a "click" sound.

Although the snowy path was bustling with people, the sound was eerie and reached the ears of everyone around.

The referee is the familiar double-board bear-type coach. You can’t judge this guy by his appearance. Although his business is not very good on weekdays, he is one of the few staff members who have the qualifications to referee major competitions.

The tall and strong man stood at the starting point of the advanced C track like a monument, and the people around him seemed to have received a signal and raised their mobile phones.

Beep——

First whistle.

"Should I be more merciful and let you skate around for a while to get familiar with your next position?"

Dai Duo looked ahead, but smiled and said to the people around him, "You are used to standing in the square shape when teaching people to push the slope, right? Can you still stand steadily after changing it now?"

Shan Chong glanced at him helplessly and sincerely suggested: "Can you shut up?"

In a forceful response, he raised his hand and pulled down his goggles.

Dai Duo was bored and shrugged, pulling down his snow goggles.

Both people lower their body center of gravity at the starting point handrail at the same time.

Beep——

Second whistle.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, two figures, one black and one white, shot out like arrows from a bow!

Shan Chong was on the blue trail. As soon as he got out of the starting point and stabilized himself, his body began to fold to the extreme, causing the edge of his snowboard to be compressed. The edge gradually stood up, leaving a deep and neat mark on the snow trail!

People only saw a black silhouette that was almost parallel to the snow surface!

Some people whistled, thinking that they knew Chongshen was a good stage jumper. Now look at his smooth carving, which is at least better than 90% of the skaters who claim to be professional carving skaters!

Soon they arrived at the first chess gate. When they were about to turn the corner, Dai Duo's white shadow was almost driving side by side with Shan Chong. It was impossible to tell who was ahead of him.

In general, in a race, a subtle gap will appear after the first turn.

The parallel giant slalom is all about turning ability. If the turn is too big, the speed will be slow, and if the turn is too small, it is easy to hit the goal. The speed control is also very important. If you just rush forward, when you come out of the corner, it is possible that you will be thrown out of the track by the strong centrifugal force!

When entering the bend, the black figure fell forward, with shoulders, legs, hips, and sight locked, and all the forces were perfectly pressed on the blade;

When he came out of the bend, his body no longer fell over so badly, but stood up a little...

The skateboard slides across the snow, breaking through the snow dust, making a pleasant "swish" sound!

The people near the first chess gate only had time to see two figures flying past them quickly. When they even had time to blink, all they could see was the snow dust kicked up by the snow on their tails!

"Sure! Worship the gods!"

"Fuck him!"

"Daido's carving is indeed good, no wonder he took the initiative to choose the giant slalom—"

"Why is there still someone speaking for Dai Duo? Who is it? Stand up!"

"To be honest, this kind of competition is more interesting than fighting."

Everyone in the crowd was talking about it, but this was the time for the experts to see the tricks. Lao Yan leaned one hand on the fence beside the snow trail and frowned, "Brother Chong's board is too soft."

Because he was teaching Weizhi today, Shan Chong took a limited edition Burton snowboard. This board is an all-terrain all-around board, suitable for general sliding and other play...

However, when the board is pressed to the limit and folded into a bend, the board's insufficient hardness means that the skateboarder's control over it is not fully exerted.

Sure enough, just as Lao Yan finished his words, the two of them had already passed more than ten chess gates, and at the third-to-last chess gate, Dai Duo finally took the lead by half a body length.

With thunderous applause at the key points, the first round of the competition came to an end.

Dai Duo's first round score was 44.36S.

Shan Chong's first round score was 44.98S.

In other words, Dai Duo was almost half a second faster than Shan Chong.

As soon as the result came out, the two people at the bottom of the mountain didn't have time to talk, and the people on the mountain started arguing fiercely -

"Damn! I lost at home! I don't even dare to look at what the snow friends in Changbai Mountain are saying!"

"There's still one more round!"

…

"We were half a second late in the first round. This isn't a professional competition, so how can we be so tight? We have to start the second round at least a second late. That would be terrible!"

"What are you afraid of? The last time I saw Shan Chong playing with Yishun was half a year ago in Guangzhou Sunac. It's been a long time. You have to let people get to know you..."

"Familiarity what? Oh my god! I'm so anxious!"

…

…

The atmosphere at the foot of the mountain is much calmer than on the mountain.

Shan Chong just turned his head and looked at the results on the timer without much reaction.

Dai Duo took off his goggles and casually flicked the binding to get off the board: "Do you think after today, how many people are willing to worship you as a god and let you continue to act like a liar and live a life of luxury?"

Shan Chong glanced at him and said, "You've won? I thought there was a second round."

Dai Duo: "In the second round you will only fall further behind. I bet you will lose me a chess goal."

Shan Chong was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He took off his goggles and hung them on the board. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and looked Dai Duo up and down carefully... His eyes circled around him and stopped, staring at the thing in his hand, and inexplicably complimented, "Nice goggles."

Burton's new M4 this year has replaceable magnetic lenses, which come in a variety of colors. It's hard to buy and very expensive.

"..." Dai Duo looked down at the snow mirror in his hand in confusion, "Are you sick?"

Shan Chong didn't say anything and ignored him anymore, walking back with his snowboard.
