At least for me anyway. I've never shot skateboarding before, but my nephew invited me out to a downhill slalom race in Park City on Sunday in hopes of getting some shots to help promote the event. I shot mainly with the 12-24 Sigma and a few with the 70-210. The event organizers were a little concerned with me laying on the ground on the outside of one of the turns but let me do my thing as they were getting free pics out of the deal. No crashes so it was all good. I was amazed at the range of ages competing, from a low of 13 to a high of 52. quite a nice group of people. I think I might have to venture to a skatepark now. Enjoy.
