Thumbs up Skate shots

Went to the local skate park the other day and took some shots. When I got there the kids all saw my camera and flocked
to me asking if I was for a magazine or with a sponsor or something! haha So i took a bunch of pics and sent like 5 to each
of the kids that skated for me. Needless to say it was a lot of fun and Im happy with the results! Tell me what you all think.

Some of my favorites..

Great skate shots bet the kids were stocked.
I also bet they wouldn't understand a word I just wrote.
I like them.

Very nice!

I have thought about doing the same thing. Except the skate park near my house is always empty and all the ramps are weathered.
Maybe I'll go down to the corner where about 30 kids hang out and skate and everyday.

Great job again.
Love the first shot, totally off the board, the head phones...great!

Thanks! yea the first one is definitely my favorite too. Weathered ramps could look cool in the pictures though you know? Find someone who knows how to skate and get em to go tear up that park!

I think you captured a great set of action pictures.
Well done the kids for performing so well, and well done you for presentating some quality pictures,
I hope the kids liked the results and good luck with the booking

Fantastic action shots. You have done a fabulous job at capturing the talent of these kids. #1 is my fave because it shows the boys face and you can see the concentration as he preforms the trick. Congrats on the book booking.
