Skateboarding

I don't know what the trick is called but its where you tap the middle of your deck and then pop back out.

Nice job on the exposure and the lighting but I'm not so keen on the angle.

Perhaps it's just that I don't know anything about skateboarding, but it just looks like he's riding it off the raised platform down to the road. That doesn't seem very special, so I must be missing something?

Madweasel if you watch this video, the first trick in the first part of this video (not the introduction) you'll see what im talking about.

Looks like he was gonna try and ollie off the end to he road but failed!

pic is fine although!

have to agree JDM EG6!

The trick is know as a 'Pop Shuv It'. From my skateboarding days!

I too like the lighting on this shot... any notes on what you used (off camera flash?)

I had a look at the lighting too. There's a flash either on or near the camera, but I spotted a gun just behind the 'road sign' or what ever it is, to the left, lighting up to the skateboarder - great idea.

Just had another look and there's one to the right too - at least three guns here.

I actually just got the name of the trick and it's a rock tap.

Ya, I used a 430ex 3 feet to the left of the camera, another 430 about 10 feet to the right, and a 580ex behind the road sign.

well spotted


And once again... nice lighting

lol so curious of wat the actual trick looks like

^Are you kidding? I posted a video showing what trick it was.

i think a sequence and a slightly different angle would help this trick cause its kind of odd. sweet video too. really tech

True, however the photo doesnt show 'the trick' to the untrained eye... Purely looks more like he is riding of the end.
