Description
I had to think fast. The 720 wasn't going to happen. I no longer had the speed or the correct angle. I hit the coping on the other side and launched into a 360 cannonball. A 360 cannonball is a full rotation in the air while holding the front and back of the board. I was fully around the 180 when I thought of something I shouldn't have. What if I didn't land this? Casey is at the end of his final year in high school. He hasn't applied to college, and, other than skateboarding, he doesn't believe he's good at much of anything. When a young movie star offers him a job as a stunt double in an upcoming skateboarding movie, Casey is stoked. It's his dream job. But when word gets out about Casey's new gig, a local skater has other ideas about who would make the best stunt double. What price will Casey pay to realize his dream?
