Skaters
Quai D'Orsay, Paris, 1995
This is just outside the spectacular Musee D'Orsay
in Paris. The two guys here were doing skate tricks for the crowd
outside the museum, when the girl in the background (very young,
very pretty) started photographing them. From then on they were
competing to impress her - first jumping over greater and greater
distances, then adding more and more mid-air spins until the only
way of landing was in great, long, flesh-scraping skids.
The fair-haired one in the foreground finally got her
phone number.
