Twilight Jam Pro Park
Lots of craziness went down here, the winner of the comp pulled off exactly zero "big" tricks, but had original lines for days. Lots of bangers, tho (oddly enough, very little mash).
Here we see officially knighted Mystic Negro Matt Levi(g)ne (although at
some point the announcer started calling him "Allen") in the middle
of smith/fuf/abubacaing (it honestly could've been any of those, I think
he pulled all three at one point or another) this tree in practice. It's
a line no one else went for.
The problem with shooting with my digital is the shutter lag can be insane,
since I can't frame the picture as it's happening I try to frame the picture
in advance, sometimes I hit, sometimes I get this. Turndown three.
Everybody pulled big threes across the box in practice and in the contest.
This kid positively ate it during the contest, which is why you'll notice
that in later pictures he's all brain bucketed up.
The big difference between the pros and the ams is the walltap/rides got
progressively higher during the contest. This is where the ams about maxed
out, this was low/average for the pros
If I remember correctly, this kid was trying a 180 turn-down here. Since
I was shooting continuous I hoped to grab a picture of him fully clicked.
I did not. You got a problem with my pictures? Where are your's huh, what?
yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh.
Mojo No Jojo, The Mrs. and Tiggy Tigg enjoy the jam from the lawn. Tigg
was a rockstar I tell you, ROCKSTAR.
Look Ma
Added: Apparently this is a dwarf who stole all of Ryan Davis' clothes
and his bike. I don't know what's worse, not winning the contest or having
a dwarf steal all your things. This, apparently, really is
Ryan Davis, apparently he looks much shorter in this picture. I'm guessing
because the picture is only like 600 pixels tall.
Below is a brief photo essay showcasing the difference between
a professional photographer and a rank amateur as well as showcassing the
difference between professional photo equipment and amateur equipment. As
noted before, I try to frame my shots so that the action runs THROUGH them
since the auto focus on my digi is really slow which can lead to really
long shutter lag. Also I stry to frame my pictures to get as much detail
as possible without needing to crop anything (usually not difficult, but
there were an unusually large number of tall people there this weekend).
This is good, I just barely got him in the frame. Please level out now.
Oh well eff me.
Better luck next time
