Default some skateboarders doing their thing

I have long since lost my agility to do this sort of thing, which probably explains my short lived attempt to try this out with my son. Into the bowl, out on my back.....bruised ego.....try again....into bowl....flat on my back.......done.....two injured wrists and rollerblades haven't seen light of day since.....these were taken several months ago

Great actions shots - suggest some cropping to get closer to the action.

I like the first two the best. Cheers, Bernz

Warning!! Brain farts occurring nearby! I have cropped versions and I am not entirely sure how I missed them....probably because I put them on at 5:15 am just before going to work.....not a good or smart thing to do at all. My brain is generally all gas at that time of day......I function much better at night......thanks for pointing that out...These pictures are crap this far out...
