Cool Out of the pipe & into the sky!...!

My daughter has recently taken up scootering (non-electric) as a bit of a hobby and we like to take her to the skate park to get her practice on and while I'm there I haul out my camera and freeze the awesome BMXers and Skaters as they fly through the sky doing various stunts and wipe outs lol - but I'll only display the glorious moments here:




To see more, please view them on my Flickr.
Thanks for looking! :-)

Thank you!

If we didn't have skateparks here the skaters would be doin' tricks EVERYWHERE! It gives them a good outlet (I use to be a skater and would have given anything for a skate park... that was until I busted my ankle at an indoor one lol.. oops!).

Aren't the kids just incredible ? I have gone to a couple of the skate board parks, and had such fun getting some great actions shots. I love your shots here, they are great, well focused and well done. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to seeing more !

I use to skate too and we didn't have anything like kids now days have. Just looking at that park make me want to skate it but I would most likely end up hurting myself!
