"Do you believe in miracles?"

Toot –
As the departure prompt sounded, Gu Shun gave him a thumbs up, and then jumped off the big air.
Coach Hou immediately noticed that Gu Shun's speed was a little too fast.
Gu Shun's body soared in the air, his ears were full of whistling wind, Gu Shun stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward, as if the whole world was held in his hand.

Coach Hou felt more and more that this kid was a demon, this inward rotation 1980 degree board, he just mentioned it when explaining the technical difficulty, but he didn't expect it to be remembered by Gu Shun until now.
And to try it for the first time in such a large-scale event, whether it is in terms of mental quality or physical condition, it is impossible to succeed if it is slightly inferior.
