Teds X Nikon: Freeze the Flip, Frame the Grind

Skate, Shoot, Repeat, A Morning of Pure Adrenaline with Teds & Nikon!

Get ready to drop in on an unforgettable morning at City Skate Park on West Terrace, where the concrete pulses with energy and every grind tells a story. Join Toban Darley, Nikon’s own action maestro, for a high-octane photography experience that dives headfirst into the raw, rebellious world of skateboarding.

We’re talking kick flips, rail slides, bowl runs, the kind of gravity-defying moves that demand precision, speed, and serious style. You’ll be front and centre, as elite skaters throw down their best tricks, and you’ll capture it all in jaw-dropping detail at up to 120 frames per second. Blink and you’ll miss it, unless your camera’s dialled in.

The first 30-40 minutes are allocated to sort everyone out with their own or Nikon's equipment to try out, plus tips and tricks on how to set up your camera, before we dive into the action!

What will you learn:

• Focus like a pro: Nail your subject mid-air with expert tracking techniques

• Settings that sing: Discover how to fine-tune your gear for peak performance
