Very Own

This picture gets it's very own post! A skater was coming to the apex of the corner at the long track qualifiers and he went down.



I am working on getting the rest of the pictures from today all done up. They should be up this evening.

Ouch! That looks painful. He was OK I hope. So...how are the new skates? Nice and flashy and stuff? :)

this is known as "flyswattering" the wall... as the pads deliberately send you upward, dissipating the energy of the crash..

I've done it several times at top speed, depending on how your impact, it can really hurt!!

-or it can feel like having a very strong man smash you with a pillow... shocking, but not bad...

this one looked like it hurt though... but he was ok, I think he raced the 1500 later in the day..
