With the Maryland Ave. overpass crusted over in ice, snow, and salt, it added a whole new aspect to Ice Carting, making it the most dangerous one yet. Needless to say, I let Ryan go first, for if something went wrong, it wouldn't be me lying dead on the sidewalk.
But my adrenaline got the better of me, as I finally gave in to my wicked imagination, as I hopped on the cart for some Xtreme Downhill Ice Carting, nearly injuring myself, as I jumped off at the last second.
This one occurred a few days before XIC 2. I was working at the Union, and it had just snowed, and my friend Lee told me to go outside in the courtyard and go Ice Carting. Well, I never pass up a chance to goof around, so I went. I hit a patch of snow and flew off the cart, leaving me with permanent injuries.
Ah, flat surface, where I fall into my comfort zone. Not this time. I mistakenly fell into the danger zone instead, as my world turned upside down as I suddenly found myself tasting snow.
But Iceman recovers, for he is at home with these natural elements. Shaking off the snow, he regains his twisted intents of world domination, steps on the Ice Cart, and flies off into the night.
This time I wasn't very fortunate. It seems me and the snow are quite fond of one another, as we just kept meeting face to face time and time again. Who do you think won the battle? I'd say the snow...
