That is so eloquently put. It was exactly my thought.

Operator condition is fine but slightly embarrassed.

Embarrassment easily recovered from, injuries at my age take longer.

I've shot action sports all my life starting in High School, cars, motorcycles, and folk running about.. I have been extremely lucky, One hit and no cameras damaged!!

One thing I learned early, "One eye for you, and the other for the camera!! And never-ever turn your back to they action!!!!

Trust nothing at speed :-O

And you need just a bit of luck too!!! :salute:

Glad to know you are OK Ed.
I havent noticed an Olympic event of D4 vaulting but maybe it is limited to Alpine Games and you are testing it for the next winter Olympics at Sochi.

Hope the TC replacement is not to painful.

I entered my D700 in the high jump, the D700 faired well but the lens let the team down and we missed out on the medals.

And if anyone is interested, Carl Zeiss UV filters appear to be harder than Nikon lens hoods.

Sorry about the lens Iain - I hope it wasn't a buggy.
