A Good Feelin'

I had a lot of fun getting this one. It may seem high speed, but really I wanted to capture the pebbles of gravel popping off my finger tips. And the faster I went... the more they seemed to blend with the asphalt. So the slower the better.... But with less speed the higher the possibility of hitting an abrupt stop into a unexpected ejection (If you've been skateboarding and hit a gravel patch, you know what I mean). So the unexpected happened, of course... but after rollin' and tumblin' a few times, everything came together. I hope you enjoy the result!
