Well you enjoy, but I regard things like this as preliminaries for the Darwin Awards competition.

The skill level demonstrated is just phenomenal. Not sure what is left for them to do expect to take a selfie in flight.

Gifted athletes displaying incredible talent. Not saying I would have done this in my younger years - but we received our share of admonishment as young adults for activities we tried. Just saying.

Come clean. If we thought we could do it, we'd be out in front with the best of them. Now? All we do is shake our old heads and mutter, "What did I miss out on in those youthful days when I didn't have a clue."

Speak for y'self, I have enough aches & pains from the excesses I performed in my youth, to see me out.
In my case it was productive, for these daredevils, it's adrenalin. Must be many oops's to attain the perfection, & in later life, thats when it bites you on the arse.

Nice set.

Just my opinion, but some of these give the APPEARANCE of the action part being pasted. I don't for a moment think this is the case as later shots testify - but the pinpoint sharpness against the bright featureless background is not something I find easy to view. Can't fault the subject exposure and sharpness though.

Thanks for your comments John. The performers sleds and clothing are bright; and the cloudy winter Alaska scenery is devoid of color. I had to have some background reference to be able to show the stunts they were performing. Next time I will try stopping down the aperture to see if that will help improve the stark differences between in focus and out of focus areas.
