I haven’t been up there since sometime in 2007. They have changed A LOT!

I was really excited to finally go back. The weather couldn’t have been better, it was sunny, breezy and great.

Then I decided to see how big of a pansy I could be! I just about let my head ruin my day. So I walked it off and got out the camera to chill a bit.

Here’s to my aggravation…

Here are the jumps. The one’s on the left are the main line and the middle set is still kind of a work in progress>

He mentioned that he had never been to the wallride off Central Ave. I love this wallride, I could literally spend an entire day there just doing the same thing. But I also really enjoy wallrides…

Well, I think he liked the wallride, but within minutes spotted a pretty cool loading dock-to-dumpster. I mean, this was pretty big! I told him that if he was gonna do it, that I had to get a photo of it. So he waited and after letting him eyeball it (which gave me ample time to get my exposure as right as I could), he gave it a shot and pulled it first try. I wasn’t that happy with my picture, but I wasn’t about to ask him to do it again. So…

This was a test shot. I think in the end, that I liked this angle better. Not so much the composition, but the angle. Maybe anyway…

Here is the actual trickery. Even with my shutter at 1/200 he still managed to get just enough motion blur to irk me. Props!
