Smile Sledding . . .

I spent a few minutes at the local sledding hill yesterday. I found a 'safe' spot behind a tree, and hunkered down for some action shots. I decided to try out the sports mode on my 20D and track the action. This poor fellow, (the owner of the soles of these shoes) survived intact, although the local EMS techs came twice while I was there . . . a lot of fun and a lot of action.

A pair of shots . . . the ending was a little messy for the public to see. However these shots show him feeling pretty good, well on the first one anyway.

That looks great , the first image you posted could possibly be the ending to the other 2 shots but I bet it looked worse than that

LOL, thank you one and all. I will try to find the best 'wrecks' and hang them when I get a moment.
