Additional Comment: In short, Jake’s board shot out and hit a lady in the ankle and dudes tried keeping him there until the cops came. Jake humored them for a good hour until I convinced him that we were wasting way too much time and to dip. Once we did, the lady’s husband chased us on foot for a good 5 blocks, with no chance of catching us, obviously.
