On this particular day I was feeling a bit adventurous and jumped down inside one of the bowls to get a better vantage point for photos. I immediately felt dwarfed by the large concrete surface and at the mercy of these riders cruising by me at high speeds. I believe my Nikon D2 saved my nose from being clipped off by a flying skateboard. The camera and I walked away unscathed. Although I wouldn’t have minded if the camera took a hit; good excuse to beg for a new one.
