Me and my good mate Jeremy (http://www.jeremybeasley.com.au/) made the most of some flash gear that was available to us last year. Hadn't shot skateboarding before and wanted to give it a go. When I was growing up I had skated for about 5 years and still keep in contact with some of the guys still rolling. Got a couple of them together and headed down to the Tuggeranong skatepark to shoot some tricks. Had a very close call with one of the skateboards flying right for my head and hit my camera before I could duck out of the way (still got the shot). By some miracle it snapped my lens hood but didn't scratch the glass. Could have been a very expensive night :P Click here to check out the video Jeremy made from the night, sweet stuff! Make sure you watch in HD.
Cheers
