Zip Lash is a Racing Ninja who trains racers at the Forbidden Valley Race Place. Zip Lash refuses to train players until they are fully trained by Velocity Lane at the Vertigo Loop Racetrack. Even after players complete Velocity Lane's missions, Zip Lash remains skeptical of players' racing abilities, and players must prove to him that they are worthy racers by completing his missions on the Dragonmaw Chasm racetrack.
