** To expand on it. ''Reki's'' ''race against Adam.'' Adam graphically injures him at several points early on, but he doesn't give in (even though Miya's fretting about his potential grievous injury or death already, with how badly he's being hurt), then after remembering Langa, Reki ''just goes for it'', skating down a ''sheer cliffside'' as the camera follows him from all sides, remininiscent of how the viewer was able to follow Langa in a thrilling chase in episode 1. He then leaps and makes an albeit clumsy landing, survives Adam's attempted murder, and shows off his analysis prowess by having prepared for rain beforehand, leaving Adam in the ''dust.''

* Knowing that up until Adam crushes his cigarette that he was just toying with Reki makes his Love Hug all the more terrifying as it is amazing. Earlier it was rumored that Adam could "skate uphill", leading Reki and the group to brush it off as a baseless rumor since it seems impossible. Yet he manages to prove them wrong with a technique that causes Reki to bail hard.
* While he's in incredible pain and traumatized by it all, Reki manages to hold up fairly well against Adam's "love" attacks and it's only when he's approached by the Love Hug does he finally wipe out.

* Joe jumps over a nearby rock which impresses Reki enough that he wants to try the trick out himself. It's only due to Langa worrying over his injuries that makes him stop.

* Just as he's about to give up on the race, Langa catches sight of Reki who's yelling his name. This reinvigorates Langa so much that he jumps off the course and practically flies in the air, allowing him to quickly catch up to Joe.



* In their flashback, while Cherry is able to ollie over a stack of skateboards they set up with ease, Adam basically ''soars'' over it. It's no wonder Joe and Cherry were quickly pulled into Adam's world and why Cherry has been so enamored for this long.

* Heartwarming and awesome at the same time. Reki standing up to and challenging Adam, the legend and undefeated skater of S, all because he wants the man [[BigBrotherInstinct to apologize for bullying Miya]].



* Adam giving Reki a decent head start. And then catches up in what appears to almost be mere ''seconds'' later to the teen's fright.
* Knowing that up until Adam crushes his cigarette that he was just toying with Reki makes his Love Hug all the more terrifying as it is amazing. Earlier it was rumored that Adam could "skate uphill", leading Reki and the group to brush it off as a baseless rumor since it seems impossible. Yet he manages to prove them wrong with a technique that causes Reki to bail hard.

However, even though Langa is momentarily terrified, he soon sports a [[GrinOfAudacity twisted grin on his face]] [[ThrillSeeker as he gets a thrill out of the danger]]. Then instead of trying to pull away from Adam, he ''takes the lead'' and propels them both through the turn and increases their speed to Adam's absolute delight.

* The entire buildup to Langa's race. He's obviously never once skateboarded in his life, and comes off like a total noob when he first gets on the board, ''duct-taping his feet to it''... ''and then'', he does his first aerial snowboarder move, and it's over and breathtaking. Literally, considering how Reki and the rest of the cast react to him soaring over a blast zone of firecrackers at the very end.



* Even though it's shown that Miya could've won if he hadn't paused out of stress that Langa could die, the way Langa just flips his skateboard over the dangerous gap in the rails combined with the music comes off absolutely inspirational.

* After spending majority of his race against Adam in grave danger and unable to get out of it, the way he breaks off from Adam feels intense. Then right as Adam comes in for a second Love Hug out of nowhere ''on a ramp,'' as everyone expects a crash, Langa ''flips'' into the air.

* While most of the main cast are having fun racing, Miya pulls a really sweet aerial move that impresses even Langa, the king of aerial moves.
