Just got back tonight from a four-day stint at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton working on the broadcast of the West 49 Canadian Open. See the skateboardin' all-stars do stunts for top prizes! See the cameramen try to avoid being plowed down in assorted close calls!
I was working mainly on the floor right in the middle of all the action and a hearty vigilance was required for fear of being caught in the crossfire. Got some nice shots though! One of the cameramen I was working with even got spit on by one of the competitors today during competition, and not by accident. Right after that incident almost escalated into fisticuffs, the competitor was sent packin'. Not very nice.
I'm beat. Nothing that climbing into bed with my book and a tumbler of my favourite can't cure though!
