Surreal Photos of an Inline Speedskater

Eric Maurer of Skatetrix.ch took these photos of inline speedskater Phil Schneider, on a rainy summer day in Switzerland, when Team Riedell could only practice starts and finishes. Eric held the camera directly on Phil, but the photos came out slightly blurred because he was using a very slow shutter speed, due to the dark weather. Eric played around with those photos on his computer and ended up with these fantastic shots!
