I’d planned on posting updates in real-time, but it turns out I take a loooooottttt of photos and those have to be sorted through and edited and that takes a while. Anyhoo, there was a roller skate competition at Schmidty’s Ramp & Camp for the first time and I documented it.

I’m a baby photographer and still learning how to take halfway decent pics, but I’ve got a Google Drive folder with 70+ photos from the competition. If you’re one of the skaters I took pics of, use the photos however you like! Feel free to credit me on Instagram with @midwestshreds. I don’t know everyone’s names or contact info, so if you see a skater you recognize, please share with them.
