I honestly think the ONLY reason you all came back today is that you all are waiting to see if Josh "biff's" it and that if I catch it on video!! LOL Here is Josh - in the middle of the
jump, just as the flash goes off. This is what I captured.This next picture is from Steve's
point of view! Check out those beautiful clouds. I can't imagine trying to hold a camera still (without a professional stick), as the athlete is skating towards you at a pretty good rate of speed. The athlete jumps fairly close to your face, skates, wheels and feet are still a little low as your subject flies over the top of you! But can you imagine the excitement of the speed, the adrenaline, the height, the danger and the coolness of the photo.
It looks as if Josh were to come straight down he would be...... well, it wouldn't be pretty!!!We had a record number of hits to our site yesterday to see Josh as a STUNT SKATER. Thanks for visiting the site. If we get close to the same amount today, I think Josh will need to find new work as a stunt skater.
Today I am adding a couple more of his jumps by video. Here to the left is the "normal" photo that they originally set out to do and one from when Steve was sprawled out on the ground.
Before I do that.... I was reminded to remind YOU the skaters..... DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. THE PHOTOGRAPHER IS PROFESSIONAL, THE WRITER IS KIND OF PROFESSIONAL, AND THE ATHLETE.... WELL HE'S FALLEN SO MANY TIMES HE WOULDN'T KNOW IT IF HE WENT DOWN AGAIN.
So skaters... keep your feet close to the ground and wear your helmet.
Enjoy........ oh... and more video and pic's tomorrow, see ya then.

OMG! Zach wants to come "play" too! The look on Josh's face at the end of the new video is PRICELESS! Of course, the number of visitors has nothing to do with the fact that he is 'hot':)
LOL.... Josh had a BALL! They are going to another park I think this weekend. It is a beautiful park with lush green grass and mature trees in the background. Pete and I had our engagement pictures taken there almost 30 years ago! So it will be interesting to see how they turn out. And Josh being hot??? I think they wanted to see his fall!! LOL And yes, his face at the end of the video is BEYOND priceless!! ;)
