JUMPIN' JEHOSOPHAT!

[FUJI]

In Stratford Upon Avon yesterday, we were attracted by a lot of noise and clatter.............a bunch of lads, one with a professional looking video camera were daring this young daredevil to jump the gap between the river bank and the large floating pontoon.

He had allready taken one ducking after missing, when we first got there he was in the river up to his waist in water, atempting to find his drowned board with his feet.......after some time, including being observed by two amused police constables, he recovered his board, tp the cheers of the crowd.

He dried himself off, then promptly restarted the show.....these are three action shots, taken in fairly difficult conditions, hence the mono versions.

(It was right after shooting this series that I must have lost my rubber lens cover, I know I had it fixed for these because you can see the edges in my full size shots against the light....see my other post about this.)

Nice work Fuji.

 

Reminds me of the parkour folk we sometimes see.

Well timed and captured, Fuji.
These skateboarders are so agile, aren't they?
