INTRODUCTION After months of battling between all the rival skateboarders in town the arguments are turning into violence with fights erupting everywhere. In abid to restore friendliness to skateboarding a meeting is organised where it is decided that a competition is to be held to find out, once and for all, who are the best skaters around. Ten courses are set up around town and each skater takes it in turn to thrash his way around them. The object is to hit the eight flasg placed around each course and reach the finish line in the time limit. The few skaters who complete all the courses will become members of the elite crew "The Slime Rat Skaters". Are you 'def' enough to do it, or are you just another toy skater?
