as long as it involves falling obstacles from above. and maybe cactaur popping out from the ground

[ Alex, it sounds like you need to get more anime about instantly being good at snowboarding back there.

Like Gorgug, amazing anime that he is, has his singular balloon (that made its own fizzle and popping noise) that he hasn't bothered to let go of, even though it's providing him no benefits. The path they've both taken curves--not sharply, and it's a small bend that sends them back onto a straight line with a soft slope that gives them momentum without increasing their speed massively.

This will surely be how everything will stay for the duration of the snowboarding game.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean their obstacles are small balloons that may or may not be a positive(?). Trees come in, and the sight of them gets a "Oh, shit" under Gorgug's breath. He's trying to listen out for Alex, snaps his head to look back quickly, but there's the panic that comes from trees! pine cone trees! in their path that has him hoping that neither of them end up colliding, potentially, when he angles his board to change trajectory to peel off from the side his ride has so far kept him on to come into the middle...

But there's the thing, when you're sliding beautifully and caring only about angling yourself away from a tree and not considering everything else: it's very easy to bash up against the tree that you're boarding towards directly on your right. Gorgug skids without control and flips, taking a few tumbles before he lands on his back.

please don't run over him, Alex.... and don't worry about him... h-he'll get up! The games only allow damage to your dignity! ]
