Hello Trekkers :)
Skate season has started again! :) We were happy to ride the vert ramp this weekend!
When I came up with the idea of the POV of this shot my friend was hesitating, afraiding of falling on me! But after a few go he nailed the trick perfectly!

PP: I've corrected the perspective a bit and ther was a minor colorization on the ramp's surface!

cheers

Great action capture, the timing is spot on. Good use of the Fisheye.

Hi ToM,

Your action shots are excellent! This is no exception, great POV, amazing clarity and well exposed. I like the way you have frozen the skateboarder in mid air flight!

they were right to be afraid but you all managed it very well

Hi ToM,

Great work

Szokásosan jól sikerült kép:)
Egyvalamit mégis máshogy csináltam volna a helyedben. Akkor kattintottam volna mikor szemben van. Úgy nem lenne olyan "középpen befigyel egy s*gg" benyomásom tőle.
További jó deszkázást és fotózást.

hehe, looks like the dude´s losing his pants. *g*
excellent "inflight"-shot, tom! :-)
what kind of "grab" is this?
terrific frozen action and well composed showing both the ramp and the clear blue sky.
i actually don´t mind the backview, sure, it
would nice to see his face, too, but sometimes
the circumstances do not allow that.
take care & photos, thor.
