Page 1  |  Page 2  |  Page 3 Flying Skaters I came upon some skaters doing tricks on their boards.  I asked if they would let me take some action shots of them.  Normally, I do not post full size images on my pictures pages, but these are full size.  So pardon the potentially slow downloads.  Now, please enjoy the thrashing of the neighborhood boys. I am not a skater.  If I can improve my terminology, please help me by emailing me and letting me know what to improve. The skaters would get up some speed on the top concrete platform.    Then they would launch themselves and their boards by performing an "ollie." Then the skater and his board would fly together through space.    If all goes very well, the skater will land on his board (on his feet) and continue skating.    Typically, I tried to get good flights without including the carnage that occasionally followed.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an ollie.    Skater getting air with an kickflip.  A kickflip is an ollie with the board rotating under the skater.    This is an excellent picture of a kickflip. See how the board is upside down but stays with the skater.  Well done!      Page 1  |  Page 2  |  Page 3
