One of the most awesome series of action shots I've seen on the forum since joining! That had to be exciting to watch, and thanks so much for sharing it with us mere mortals...
Too Cool!!!

Hilarious... I'm surprised you kept a firm hand in shooting that sequence. I think I would have lost it, myself.

This is a terrific sequence, magazine worthy, IMHO. How long did it last? Were you shooting singles or continuous mode? Thanks for sharing.
