It is good to see many helmets in these extraordinary photos. That is a hard landing. Glad to see 4 generations out for a sport that gets folks out and active. If you’ve never watched it I highly recommend a stroll over to the park. You are likely to see some jaw-dropping displays of skill, balance and jumps that seem to defy gravity.
