As our racers continue, it looks like we have our first placings this next round.

Awakening performs a Grab, flaring out her wings to amaze the audience (+1 bonus)

Our totals for this jump are:
4 Flips
3 Spins
3 Grabs
Flips were the most common so they receive 1 point. As Spins and Grabs tied for most unique so are therefore average and both receive 2 points.

Delicate performs a Spin
Scarlet performs a Grab
Galaxy performs a Spin

Our point totals are:
Mystic: 4
Delicate: 4
Lift: 3
Scarlet: 3
Frost: 6

I don't think Parting got the memo about finishing first not being everything. XD

Looks like we could potentially have quite the pile up at the finish line next turn as all but two of the remaining racers are in reach of it if the dice favor them. *cheers Frost on*

And as all final racers complete the last jump, we also have a rush to the finish to claim that final placing. Things got a little hectic, but out of the snow our final placings are as follows, Scarlet claims third and that coveted point, followed by Turning, Mystic, and Lift.
Image
Awakening performs a Flip
Spice attempts a grab, but her wings catch the wind at the last moment and she takes a tumble into the soft snow at the bottom of the jump.

Our totals for this jump are:
3 Flips
4 Spins
2 Grabs
Grabs were the most unique and earn 3 points, followed by Flips with 2 points. Spins were the most common and receive 1 point.

Our point totals are:
Mystic: 6
Delicate: 5
Lift: 4
Scarlet: 7
Frost: 8

Awakening: 6
Spice: 4
Parting: 6
Galaxy: 5
Turning: 8

Because we had a tie for 1st, random.org has helped determine the winners:
First: Image Origami_Dragon’s Frost of the Blazing Comet
Second: Image Janalee’s Turning the Golden World
Third: Image Esperanza’s Scarlet of the Undefined Chasm

Wow! Go Frost, way to go! Good strategy on the tricks!

Congrats to the other winners as well! This is definitely an interesting way to race, where speed isn't everything.

Frost: *stands up and trots the rest of the way to the finish line, shaking snow out of her fur, looking quite pleased with herself, feathered collar held high*

Origami_Dragon, please let me know which hairclip and modiem you would like. Your random modiem is a species modiem.

Janalee, please let me know which hairclip you would like and which hairclip once Origami_Dragon has chosen

Esperanza, you will receive the remaining hairclip and and a colour modiem


Thanks for racing and joining me for the race everyone! Also, I find it interesting that the results could have been slightly different if poor Spice hadn't got caught in the wind as the grabs would have then been equal to the flips for that final jump changing the point totals!
