It's by far NOT my best effort, but it was improptu and so what, right?
I plan on going back to do a better job. In the meantime, just a few quick shots. Enjoy.

BROOKRUN! Nice park. You wouldnt happen to know any of those people you photographed would you?
I know the guy in the red helmet is on Atnalta team, and they would preciate your photos anytime.
@ the kid on the mountain bike.

Nice pics. #3 is sick!! Where is that park at? I always wanted to photograph skaters.
Thank you, but to be honest I really didn't like the results all that much. When I go back, I'll take my time and do it right. I hate blurry pics.Originally Posted by s13slider
I don't think that's the name of the park though. I don't know any of those guys personally, but they seemed pretty cool. The 3 guys I posted up were just absolutely incredible. 20 ft of air, 360's, total bike control, total board control....they were bad asses. The guy in the red shirt was getting some really sick air on the bike. I got some great shots of him, but the background full of people ruined the shots. The guy in the red helmet was pretty cool too. I asked him to do some specific runs so I could shoot him and he did. The guy in the black helmet was badass too. He rode a damn wheelie the entire perimeter of the park and then dove down to do a run. Very cool.
I thought the same thing too, until the guy got down there and did a few cross ups on that mountain bike....

No, it's not off Buford Hwy. It's actually in Lilburn.
Huge compliment considering who the author is.....thanks.
The park is inside the Mountain Park complex. It's fairly new. I'd seen them quite a few times after my son's football practice, so yesterday I decided since we didn't have practice to take him up there to see it. He'd been bugging me to let him watch them. So we went up there after dinner. Like you, I thought it be cool to take some shots since there's so much action. Unfortunately, that's actually what makes it hard to catch them in the right shot. Since you're so close up, the movement is exaggerated on film. It's hard to pan, especially in low light. I thought I was all cool with my new little toy, the Expodisc, but it ended up being near worthless because there were so many people there that I only had either into or away from the sun....no real in between. Anyway, enough excuses. My son had a good time, which is really the reason we went there. Those guys were uber cool. So all in all it was a success.
from the looks of it thats a decent park

Guys, I already posted where this was.....it's in Lilburn @ Mountain Park.
It's brand new. They built that w/i the last 3-4 mos. It is very nice. It has benches and stacked stone walls. The skating surface, of course, is very smooth. I'm no skater at all, but it seems like a very nice little area. Certainly 100x's better than trying to skate down the lumpy sidewalk, grinding on park benches....
What I found the coolest is that there were young and older people all mixed in there. You can easily pick out who the "players" were, but everyone observed a type of etiquette of taking turns and clapping or banging boards when someone did something crazy. I thought it was cool. Personally, I liked the bikes better because they got bigger air, althought he boarders were doing some crazy balancing acts too.
NO, it's NOT!!!!
was it free to skate?
clean pics
No, you have to pay me $20 to tell you how to get there......
Thanks.
