Grind

"All I'm saying is that if you took it down a notch or two, you'd make the jumps and save the injuries." "I always makes the jumps," I argued. "What are you talking about?" "I make the jumps. It's the landings that I'm having trouble with." Philip lives for skateboarding. School is merely the break between trying to land a difficult jump and outrunning the security guards. When he and his best friend Wally meet a professional skateboarder who videotapes himself for his website, Philip thinks they can do it too-and make money at the same time. When they start getting hits on their website-and making money-they start to feel the pressure to do more and more dangerous stunts. This is Eric Walters' second entry in the Orca Soundings series.
