As everyone immediately plunging downhill, the front wheels of my luge skipping over small bumps designed to add exciting though safe jumps.as everyone is screaming loudly, adrenaline pumping through my veins as you all raced through the rainforest anxiously trying to get through the finish line first and become as brave as the Hanuman God himself.
