Big Balls, A Snapped Deck & A Broken Leg

There's still no wind, but there's plenty of skating going on to make up for it. This group of skaters from Managua were down enjoying the colonial delights of Granada over the weekend.

Here's David launching into a mental kickflip....

and catching it right at the top on his back foot. This guy seems immune to fear; his flips are spot on every time, whatever he's hurling himself down.

This time launching himself into the street. There's no way this can actually be landed as the street is way too rough. But what the hell.

Another big and unlandable ollie into the street.

Moments before breaking his leg.

Luis, definitely the most consistent skater of the session, launching into another backside 180 down the steps.

And bringing it nicely around for a smooth landing.

And unfortunately here my battery ran out. Check out http://www.skatenica.com for more.

Hopefully will make it to the competition on Feb 10th.
