interests in skate photography

I get emails all the time about skate photo stuff. some from students, and some from others looking for some tech secrets(there are none) to skate photo work or some inquiring on how I got into it and how they can too. recently I got some questions from this GIRL(caught me a little off guard) at an upstate NY college. Caitlin thanks for contacting me and your interest. I do have to say by the looks of you in the photo you sent over if you were sitting at the bottom of a handrail or gap I think the skater might be a little distracted.
