( Alex lands just off, ending up having to catch herself balance-wise, and cutting across the last stretch. She's finally getting how to steer herself on the snowboard, so she doesn't go flying off the groomed track and into the snowdrifts and trees to the side. She steers back into the clear lane, looking over her shoulder to spot Gorgug after he lands.
She catches sight of something blue going flying, but loses track of it as she whips her head around and crouches, leaning forward and hoping that'll make her go faster toward that giant GOAL and all its balloons. The hawking avian squawks, then with a loud, reverberating thud and ongoing sounds of distress, a large ball of feathers goes rolling by. If they're not careful, the ostrich will win this race. )

Not on my watch, feathery jerk!
( Alex is now racing for that finish line. )
