Well, I wrote this post about how people (read: you) should go check out this slide show I'm involved in, along with a bunch of talented sports photographers, or rather photographers who make pictures of sports. But then I checked the link and it looks like the slide show night is completely booked or sold out or too cool. The slide show will be supporting a gallery show at the Annenberg Space for Photography featuring the work of two legendary photographers, Walter Iooss and Neil Leifer, who have captured some of the most important moments in mainstream sport over the past million years or so (sorry, no time to double check that fact). Anyhoooo, Iooss is one of those guys who crosses with ease from making amazing portraits to capturing real action images with an eye for the extraordinary convergence of great talent and great light and great location that is so hard to come by. He's someone I've always looked up to and been inspired by and it's an honor just to be able to mention his name here.
Anyway, Micah Abrams has checked out the show and told me it is amazing, so either get to the Annenberg Space for Photography (2000 Avenue of the Stars, #10, LA) early on the 11th of February and tell someone at the door how important you are. Or just go check out the print show sometime before March 7th.
Here is the LINK for info.
And here are a couple of frames from my slide show.

I think this guy's name is Shaun White. He's pretty good at X Games.
