This was a backyard mini halfpipe we built around 1988-1989 in Palmyra, NJ. We were about 14-15 years old at the time we built this.

Is this better than my other ski shot? The rider is higher with only the sky in the background. What about the snow flying off the board? Is that artistic and cool, or is it distracting? I like it. Again, I have 150 of these shots, and I am trying to learn what is considered 'good'. Thanks.

Third and last OOB image tonight...

Don't want to get addicted ;)

Tamas Kovacs is one of the few guys that got very good very fast and having a perfect mini in your backyard probably helps a lot. Fufanu to the sub.

By now the boys had began to show off to me and my friend and our cameras. This kid especially wanted to pull big tricks for us. He decided that a simple boardflip wasn't cool unless an 8 foot drop was involved, so he practiced ollies off an 8 foot half pipe until he could land it, and then added the kickflip. He was a lot of fun and a good sport.

New skate space

the only regret about this session i have is that i didnt get enough different angles... i shouldve focused more on that...

I know, the head is covered by the net, but I hadn't the opportunity to get a better shot because the try after he took a very hard slam

Tracky loves the halfpipe

On this picture you can see how a lava tube is formed:

Lava tubes are natural conduits through which lava travels beneath the surface of a lava flow. Tubes form by crusting over of lava channels. When the supply of lava stops at the end of an eruption or lava is diverted elsewhere, lava in the tube system drains downslope and leaves partially empty conduits beneath the ground. However in this case the flow was not overcrusted therefore the remaining lava flow showed only a "lava halfpipe". The ceiling of the tube is missing. In the background of the picture you can see the smoking "South East Crater" of Mount Etna.
