Head swivelling to follow his trajectory through the air, Legacy's lips parted slightly in wonderment: he was going so fast, surely he'd take off when he reached the edge, let alone slide! Hurrying to the edge she watched him hurtling downwards, soaring through the air like a bird before hitting the ice and beginning to spin around. Her head moved in corresponding circles like a cat hypnotised by yarn; she almost felt dizzy by the time he began to slow down.
Well... here went nothing! Hunching up her hindlegs, she tensed every muscle, whooped "Look out!" and gave an almighty push with both back feet. Propelled into the air like a jet, the girl flew over the edge and downwards with all four legs pedalling wildly. She hit the icy snow running and so accidentally toppled herself right over. Ending up on her back with her head facing downhill was when she began to gather speed. Arching her head back as far as it would go, thus gaining a wobbly, upside down view of what lay ahead, her eyes popped - the foot of the slope was approaching at an unbelievable rate. With a mighty squirm she managed to pull her legs beneath her so she was sliding on her stomach, still head-first just as it seemed she could go no faster or further. Squealing she closed her eyes, bracing for the potential impact, not sure she could slide to a standstill gracefully like him - without even her feet beneath her, it felt like she could just hit the ground headfirst. Then she quite abruptly realised she wasn't moving any more, and risked a peek out of one eye, to be greatly relieved - she'd made it in one piece, albeit breathless.
