As our leading racers continue, we come our final obstacle, a strong cross breeze.

Come-one Pyre! Don't let that cross-breeze stop you! :O
And there comes Seeker from behind~ Big jump toward the front!

The cross breeze slows down a few of our leaders, will this change the results or will they make it through in time?

And so this round brings us our first winner, Helix crosses the finish first, claiming first place and begins to descend. The other racers start to catch up though so it could still be anyone's game for second and third!

Seeker manages to pull ahead and claim second place, but the third place is going to be a challenge. There are quite a few contenders in a position to pull a win out of their hats.

And with that our race is over. With much anticipation, Healer and Feather lead the pack towards the finish for that last final push, but in the end Healer managed to push ahead of Feather by a millisecond claiming third place.

Congratulations guys, I hope you enjoyed our hot air balloon race.

First: Imageamazondreamer's Helix of Forgotten Dreams
Second: ImageEchos' Seeker of the Unified Theory


Third: Puuka's Healer of Despairing Darkness

Once you three have decided on a balloon, you can equip it in the equip forum. The cupcakes will be added to your inventories when Sushi can get around to it.

Holy moley! I guess Helix's initial trepidation over the balloon didn't hold her back! She did so well, I'm so proud :D

Congrats to the other winners, I hope everyone had fun. Thanks for running this silver, you always come up with such unique twists on racing!

Holy cow Helix, way to pilot a balloon! Seeker, that was some sleek ballooning, great job!

Very exciting race, thank you Silver, for running this event. I really liked the balloon twist on racing.
