The story revolves around Reki, a sophomore high school student who is an avid skater. He’s addicted to “S”, a secret and dangerous downhill skateboarding race that takes place in an abandoned mine. The skaters are particularly keen on the beef and heated fights that break out during the races.
Reki also convinces Ranga, who is returning to Japan after an exchange year, to take him to the mine where the races are held. Ranga may have no skateboarding experience, but is enthusiastic about the world of “S”
