Flight & Flying [Tuesday, May 19, 4th period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was almost smiling today as the class met in the Danger Shop. Creepy.

"Today we're going to continue with land-based transportation," he said quietly, pointing to two motorcycle-esque machines hovering on either side him. "This is a swoop bike," he said, pointing to one, "and the one on the left is a speeder bike, the slightly newer model, which is also equipped with a laser cannon. Don't use the laser cannon, please. Both fly like the motorcycles of your world drive, but can get up to 400 kilometers an hour. That being said, you will be wearing helmets and there are two different scenarios based on your level of skill. One is a city planet with very tall buildings to miss. The second is a forest moon with trees hundreds of meters tall."

He gave the class a tight smile. "Please don't hit a tree or a building and explode. There will be mocking. If you do it intentionally, there will be detention."

He clapped his hands. "Begin."

Because you're excited to fly on bikes!

Fly in the city [Beginner]

If you really want to live through flying in intergalactic traffic jams, this one's for you...

Pairing up and chatting while you fly (and modding Rodians cutting you off) is encouraged.

Fly in the forest [Advanced]

Go 400 kilometers an hour through redwood trees Totally Alien Trees, For Real. If you get going fast, prepare to have some seriously sharp reflexes. You can fly in pairs or go two on a bike, if one of you would like to be a backseat driver *cough*Leia*cough*.

Chat!

There's plenty of standing around time. Be glad Anakin hasn't tried to get you all to do situps or something while you wait.

Talk to the TA!

[sith_happened]

He has a bike. Ooooh. Ahhhh.

He made the bikes.

And no, you can't have one.

Luke and Leia on speeders is one of my favorite scenes from ROTJ. Trufax.
