Great stop action.....Looks like a lot of fun.

This really was fun to shoot. I was driving by and saw a group of young men with shovels building this ramp. Intrigued, I stopped and got out my camera. This shot is the first run or the day. Following several unsuccessful landings there was some discussion, among the participants, of adjusting the ramps so that they were closer together but, in an exercise of logic found so often in young men, it was decided that all they really needed was to go faster. I have posted another image that better shows the spatial relationship between the take-off and landing ramps.

An activity I am PROUD to say I do not have the opportunity to participate in...but it looks like a blast.
Love the action portrayed here...

Aaaah, love those young and flexible bones, Steve! Great action and putting the images
together makes this really fun to look at.

May not have been a perfect landing, but it was a perfect shot of the skier going off the jump. Nice action....well exposed photo.
