His first half-pipe
This kid... talk about peer pressure. It was his first time on the half-pipe and he spent quite a few minutes at the top trying to get the nerve up to try it while a group of at least 30 kids stood around encouraging him to give it a shot. They had cameras and video cameras as well. When I took this shot, he had just finished saying "please, God, don't let me break any bones". It was too funny :-). I give him a lot of credit, he tried a bunch of times and never quite made it but he gets an A for effort :-)
