Looks like a great way to kill yourself. Right side seems inexplicably blurred....? Otherwise a good capture of the action.

looks really cold to me... :) I like the action you caught, but yeah, the right side seems like it shouldn'e be so blurred...

This was a brand new lens and it appears I have a dud. I just looked at the whole series of images and they all soft on the right side.

Bummer about the dud lens. I've always wanted to shoot some of these crazy folks...I mean take pictures of em.

Marc, I bet they look at pictures of you up in the snow and say the same thing!
