A miraculous flight and capture, Heather. I am looking for scars and signs of broken bones...don't see any! He even dares to wear a watch while doing this crazy stuff.

My 21-year-old grandson has developed the back issues of an old man. I recently met another avid skate boarder with two horrible broken elbows. Don't think it's worth it...but the capture is amazing. #7955350

Heather K. McFarland September 19, 2009

Thank you folks. He was shooting the gap between two big ramps at an exhibition in my town. We had a great sky that day to serve as a backdrop to these gifted skaters.

He only did this trick twice and one other skater did it once. So I got 3 chances at the shot and liked this one the best.

Michelle...my son is 18 and skates everyday. He comes home very sore and limping most of them. We keep telling him he will feel those injuries when he gets older and it won't be any fun. But he just loves to skate so much that it is the way it is...LOL. #7955659
