What is Jerking?
it started out with some swift foot work, then the legs started to swing, next thing you know the whole body was jerking!

A good friend of mine works for Vlado Foot Wear, which held a 40 crew jerking competition at the Los Angeles Convention Center on 4/10/2010. Originally i was asked to work as a staff and help set everything up, but i was lucky and got an all access media pass which allowed me to wonder around and take photographs.
pretty much everyone was wearing Vlado Foot Wear. even i had a pair on for helping out with the staff.

The things these kids were able to do was pretty amazing. Spinning, flipping, flying, twisting and the agility they contain shows how much they practice. My dad always quoted "practice makes perfect", and these kids really did show it.

A lot of crews, performers and jerking fans came that day and it just got too crowded to be in the front of the circle so i decided to step back, get on the stage and just shoot the people who came here to enjoy the show.

It was long and grueling. Leg, feet, arm, wrist, hand all sore from shooting this event from 8am until 6pm. But thanks to my new camera i didn't have to attach my flash!(it was already heavy enough) And thanks to Vlado for giving me this opportunity to shoot this fun event and the free pair of Spectro-3! oh and special guest appearance from Lil Mama and Kel from Kenan & Kel Nicelodeon show.
