We hopped on the shiny red quad. Colton sat on the soft seat and I sat on the cold metal rack. The trail was lit only by moonlight and a faint shimmer from the racetrack lights. Colton grabbed the throttle and made me almost slide off the back. I caught myself with one foot and pushed myself back onto the quad. Cold air was sweeping through the hair on the back of my head.

We landed and I could hear the quad speeding off in the distance. I opened my eyes and could see the tree tops in the sky. My head was throbbing with pain. I felt as if I had just fallen off a cliff, and I hoped that no more quads were coming down the trail.
