GO BIG OR GO HOME!
One day I was skiing with my brother and my friend Sam.
 I wanted to go off the biggest jump in the park.
 They told me not to, so of course I did anyway.
 I started to go, I went way too
 fast.
 
 
 I tried to stop but wait, I was in the air,
 A look of astonishment on my face as I go
 
 
 
 
 Up
 
 
 
 
 
 And up
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And up.
 I lean forward
 And do the biggest “superman” ever by accident.
 
 
 
 
 And then
 
 
 
 
 
 Down
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And down
 I went, still leaning forward.
 
 
 I said to myself, “Oh no, this is not good!”
 And, splat, I hit with a thump and a crash.
 The tips of my skis dug into the ground.
 I came out and slid down the landing,
 Snow was going up into my face
 As if I was the blade of a snowplow.
 
 
 I got up and put my skis on
 While my brother and Sam were laughing like hyenas.
 I started down the hill,
 Then my brother tried doing a 180 and landed it,
 But went backwards for too long and fell down a gully.
 He went 100 feet down in a foot of powder,
 And I was then the one laughing!
