Jacob Bressler, or as everyone tended to call him, Jake. The leader of his little possey of what he called the subway surfers, because-well, as the name implied, That's what they did.
Why was he even out at the subway? Well, there were two possibilities there. Either he was inventing some risky new skateboarding trick, or he decided he wanted to do street art on a random train cart in the subway. This guy and his antics. But his only worry was if the inspector and his dog caught him. If he was seen tagging the train, no big deal, he'd run. Seemed easy, right? Try doing that while jumping over and rolling under obstacles. Oh! And did I forget to mention the moving trains he's gotta dodge too? Preferably before he smacks right into them? Yeah, that's another obstacle.
But that's all to avoid being caught. And he wasn't the only one that did this. He had friends. Fresh, Tricky, Yutani, and they were getting other friends from different places. Perhaps the rebellious act was inspiring to others that heard tell of it. And he'd love to hear about, and perhaps even add more friends to this growing little gang of his, but right now, he has to focus on getting away before the inspector can nab him.
