While waiting for the customized longboard to arrive, Yu Nian has been studying and mastering the longboard downhill course in the system space for half a month.
After all, extreme sports are niche sports. In the early years, they were mostly enjoyed by a few people in China for their own entertainment.
This situation has only improved in recent years.
The Extreme Sports Association was established, recruited members, and worked hard to organize events to expand its influence.
However, there are basically no large-scale serious teaching institutions. Veterans often lead novices, and enthusiasts gather together to exchange experiences.
This results in no standard assessment paradigm for professors and learners, and teaching tends to be personalized.
Once a mistake is made, if you want to correct it in the future, it will take more effort and energy to correct the actions that have been formed in the body's memory than when learning.
The existence of the system eliminates this possibility from the beginning.
It is completely scientific and systematic teaching.
Yu Nian was originally thinking about how the system would teach courses. He already knew its magic and was mentally prepared.
And when he closed his eyes and truly entered the system space, he was still slightly surprised.
What appeared in front of me was a high mountain.
This mountain is majestic and majestic, with clouds and mist floating halfway up the mountainside, and lush plants covering the entire mountain with ancient green.
And the winding mountain road that winds from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is a light gray belt that cannot be ignored on top of this green.
The next moment, Yu Nian was already standing on the square on the top of the mountain.
Only then did he discover that there were no guardrails on both sides of the winding road in this mountain.
Beside the road is a cliff.
"Are you afraid?" A voice came from behind.
Yu Nian turned around and saw a strong man wearing a full set of protective gear walking over. Obviously, he was the coach of this longboard lesson.
Although he knew that everything was simulated by the system, both the mountain at his feet and the coach in front of him gave Yu Nian an extremely real feeling.
"Afraid." Yu Nian answered truthfully.
"It's okay to be afraid." The coach put on protective gear for him and began to explain in detail the composition and function of each protective gear.
Yu Nian knew that the lecture had begun, and he listened with concentration.
After putting on the protective gear, there was a long board beside Yu Nian.
"The first thing I want to teach you is the basic skills of carving and sliding."
"Try it on the board."
Yu Nian tried to slide on the board twice, but after a few steps, he lost his balance and fell off the board.
Seeing that the coach made no comment and motioned for him to continue, Yu Nian tried to skate on the board again.
After a while, the coach asked: "What are you doing?"
Yu Nian: "Find balance and don't fall."
"Don't look for it." The coach stood beside him with his arms folded. "What you have to do is to let the board cooperate with you, not you to cooperate with the board."
"Have you felt your center of gravity? Keep it still and let the board match your center of gravity."
With the help of the coach, Yu Nian tried for a while before he was finally able to stand firm on the longboard.
Next are the basic skills.
Slide, turn, handbrake...
All the course teaching today was completed on the square at the top of the mountain. As Yu Nian had imagined, it was an exciting downhill experience.
Towards the end of the lesson, the instructor asked, "Would you like to try it on the road?"
Yu Nian glanced at the road that circled the mountain: "Is it okay?"
"Nothing is impossible."
So Yu Nian took the board and came to the highway.
He took a deep breath, without much hesitation, and slid down.
The slope brought about an extremely rapid increase in speed. The longboard and his body whizzed past the road. This was an experience that could not be obtained on a flat square!
His heart accelerated uncontrollably at high speed, and his clothes were blown by the wind.
Speed, speed, speed.
This feeling reminded Yu Nian of the excitement he felt when he played Prokofiev's "Second Piano Concerto", the intense percussion rhythm and the continuous dissonance.
Then, the center of gravity shifted back.
When Yu Nian noticed this, he tried to control the center of gravity on the front foot, but at such a high speed, the effect was not great.
His body began to shake and the board began to shake.
Yu Nian tried his best to control it, but when he saw a curve ahead, his pupils shrank.
The coach has not taught him the cornering skills yet, and has no intention of helping him stop at this time.
The longboard rushed off the road at extremely fast speed——
Rushing out on a road with no guardrails on both sides.
Below is a cliff of ten thousand feet.
Yu Nian was lost for a moment.
Getting on the board, gliding, and turning in circles are just the prelude to today's lesson.
The coach stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down at Yu Nian, who was falling rapidly. A smile appeared on his face, and his words echoed clearly in Yu Nian's ears.
"Lesson number one, mistakes cost you your life."
Yu Nian jumped up from the sofa, breathing rapidly, his chest heaving violently, and his back completely soaked with sweat.
The feeling of falling and losing weight still remained in his body.
It took him a long time to completely calm down his breathing, and the thin sweat on his forehead gathered into water droplets and slid down, hanging on his eyelashes.
Yu Nian moved his fingers and wiped away the sweat.
He looked up at the clock on the wall. He had just studied in the system space for at least half a day, but the clock showed that only two hours had passed.
Obviously the time flow rates in the two spaces are different.
He stood up and poured himself a glass of water.
I also watered the dead orchid in the corner of the living room.
By the time I got the customized longboard, half a month had passed.
In the past half month, Yu Nian has been immersed in the system space to study the course every day. So far, the course progress has reached one-third.
After getting the longboard, Yu Nian decided to train in reality to match the progress of his course.
The knowledge he acquired is complete and scientific. He honed his longboard skills over and over again in the system space and continuously corrected and improved them under the guidance of the most professional coaches.
But the existence of that space was simulated by the system.
His training results during this period cannot be brought to reality, and the real muscle memory has not yet been formed.
To completely digest this knowledge and replicate the learning results in space into reality, he needs to undergo training repeated countless times in reality.
The S city where Yu Nian is located has many mountains and winding roads, so there are many places suitable for downhill riding.
He chose Wenxi Mountain. This mountain has a suitable slope and a suitable number of curves, so it is very good for training.
It's also close to home. You can go there directly by riding a scooter without having to catch several buses.
There are many tourists going up and down the mountain during the day, which is not suitable for training and study. Yu Nian planned to set off before dawn.
It was too early and I was thinking about someone, but his agent patted his chest and told him that it was no problem and he had to go with him.
What a joke, Yu Nian doesn't blame him even though he's so bad at work.
If you don’t take good care of your own artists in life, then what can you do!
Deng Jingwei carefully placed the portable drawing board on the front seat of the small electric donkey. After Yu Nian sat firmly, he turned the car key and said, "Sit tight!"
When he arrived at Wenxi Mountain, Yu Nian glanced at the top of the mountain and asked, "Are you waiting for me at the foot of the mountain or are you going up with me?"
Deng Jingwei still didn't know what Yu Nian wanted to do, so he was worried that something would go wrong, so he quickly said: "Let's go together."
Yu Nian hummed.
After we took the cable car to the top of the mountain, it was just dawning and there was a glimmer of light in the sky.
There were almost no people or vehicles on the mountains and trails, and it was quiet except for the chirping of birds and the ringing of temple bells.
Deng Jingwei saw Yu Nian put down the backpack he was carrying, took out a full set of protective gear and put it on.
First came the leather jacket, then gloves, knee and elbow pads, and finally a full-face helmet.
He was well-dressed and couldn't see his face clearly under his full-face helmet, but Yu Nian stood there in such a attire that Deng Jingwei's eyes widened and he was speechless.
"It's so, so cool." After a long time, he exclaimed.
No man can resist this naturally conquering and aggressive look.
After Yu Nian put on these equipment, he looked at the long board.
The longboard downhill course provided by the system is divided into two categories, one is technical downhill and the other is mountain downhill.
As the name suggests, skill downhill is a highly technical and highly entertaining gameplay. It is characterized by a wide variety of moves and cool movements.
But most of the action sacrifices speed. On the contrary, mountain downhill is purely the pursuit of "fast".
If you want to be fast and chase the limit of speed, then protective gear and accessories must be extremely specialized.
Yu Nian chose a customized longboard produced by a well-known domestic sports brand.
He already knows what is most suitable for him through the boards he has stepped on in the system space.
The customized data provided to the Joyo official website is very detailed.
A longboard consists of four parts: wheels, bridges, bearings and deck.
Downhill emphasis is on speed and stability, and the wheels must have weak vibration. He chose 75mm wheels with a wider diameter. Considering the hardness and grip, he used soft right-angle wheels.
The bridge is also a bracket. Yu Nian used a cold forging process that can make the internal structure more compact. The precision is extremely high. Naturally, the price is several times higher than that of ordinary cast bridges.
As for the bearings, they use water-resistant and high-temperature ceramic bearings, and the board surface is made of Canadian hard maple, which has top-notch strength and toughness.
Excellence Brand's craftsmanship on this is indeed among the best. Yu Nian couldn't help but feel a little more fond of the longboard in his hand.
Looking at the side of the board, there is also a customized number engraved on it: x1207.
As a little idol who is not very popular and has no name, my wallet will be almost empty after doing this.
Yu Nian shook his head, never thinking that he would one day worry about money.
He walked to the winding mountain road and put down the longboard.
Only then did Deng Jingwei realize that something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "Yu Nian, what are you doing?"
Doesn’t this good study just mean learning to master skills?
Deng Jingwei's face was full of panic. How dangerous this was, if he fell and hurt his face——
Although I don’t want to admit it, my own artist only has this face!
Yu Nian stepped on the longboard and saw what the manager was worried about: "It's okay, I'm wearing protective gear."
With that said, I have already tried out the feel of this new longboard.
The knowledge he learned in the system gradually filled his body.
This is completely different from the system, and it has an extraordinarily solid sense of fullness.
Yu Nian skated on the spot for a while, his movements gradually changing from unfamiliar to skillful.
"It's easy to get injured even if you wear protective gear..."
Deng Jingwei muttered, but before he could react, Yu Nian had already slid down the slope.
"!"
The sun is rising.
Both sides of the winding mountain road are lined with landscape crape myrtle trees, which bloom with red flowers in midsummer.
The petals fell on the road, spreading a thin layer, reflecting the bright golden sunlight in summer.
When Yu Nian stepped down on the longboard at an extremely fast speed, the petals on the ground seemed to be disturbed, and rolled up from the ground as his figure passed by, sweeping across a large area.
He had a long board, and the metal part of the protective gear reflected the sunlight, making it hard and cold.
His figure walked through the petals in the sky, moving forward inexorably.
Deng Jingwei looked at this scene with his mouth open and was speechless for a long time.
He still wanted to continue chasing that figure with his eyes, but when the winding mountain road turned a corner, Yu Nian's figure had disappeared.
The petals flying all over the sky gradually subsided and returned to the road.
"Fuck... he's so handsome!" After a long while, Deng Jingwei stopped his open mouth and choked out a word of admiration.
Before, he had been using words like "good-looking", "beautiful" and "beautiful" to describe Yu Nian like others, but today he used words like "cool" and "handsome".
On the other side, the man sitting on the rock on the top of the mountain put down his camera and called up the photo he had just taken.
In the photo, red petals are sweeping across the sky, and a young man is walking through the petals on a longboard.
