Part of the Matt Christopher Sports Classics series
Cris must choose between thrilling solo skating and the camaraderie of hockey, risking friendships in the process.
Cris Murphy thrives on the thrill of aggro skating, soaring through the air and mastering daring tricks. But when he tries inline hockey, he discovers the joy of teamwork, sparking a dilemma. His friend Max scoffs at hockey, seeing it as a betrayal of their skating roots. As Cris navigates this new passion, he faces a tough choice: pursue the exhilaration of solo skating or embrace the unity of a team. Can Cris balance his love for both worlds, or will his decision fracture friendships and redefine his path?
Cris Murphy is into aggressive, or aggro, inline skating. He loves flying through the air, doing tricks on the halfpipe, and grinding on the rails. But when he has a chance to try inline hockey, he decides to give it a go - much to the disgust of his friend and fellow aggro skater, Max, who thinks inline hockey is for losers. Cris isn’t so sure. Much as he likes the independence of aggro skating, he finds he likes being part of a team, too. But will Max and Cris’s friendship survive if Cris chooses hockey over the halfpipe?
