I dropped by a skateboarding competition and took a bunch of pictures. See also slide show mode. Here are a few highlights:
They had to clear several steps in a jump, and preferably do tricks while they're at it.
It was crowded, and people found every which way to actually see the competition. They climbed fences and trees, but this guy impressed me the most. How did he get up there with all that gear?!
It was much easier to take pictures of people just practicing off to the side. :)
Go take a look at the rest of the full set (or slide show)!
