    Some skaters from today.

    My first time out to the skate parks this year. It was a bit cold (still some snow on the ground) and the weather wasn't the greatest. A new skate park just opened in my area recently so I went to introduce myself to the kids and get some practice following them around and where the "trick spots" were. I didn't stay too long but here's 2 of my test shows for the day.


    It's a nice little park with a street trick area and a nice sized pool in the back. The landscaping isn't finished yet so there's mud and snow fences everywhere but it looks like theres going to be some good shooting here this summer.

    I don't know skateboarding Jay, but I'd say your test shots show that you're going to be able to get some quality stuff when the weather heats up. That bottom one is just about perfect as far as panning with the skateboarder.
