These athletes were flying around the track at around 30 + MPH. Many injuries happen, luckily every one was ok from the above pictures. Not to mention that they have razor sharp blades hooked to there feet.

Heh, ya. It's a rubber block used to show the inside corners of the track. It does kinda look like a lense hood, heh. I picked up my camera as he was falling, it was a quick shot.:)

I tried ice skating once in my life and I'm guessing I must have looked kind of like picture one for 99% of the time :-) :-). Nice shot.
