Lots of misses, but this one is, I think, OK.

I would have had more keepers with the D3s.

Thanks, Elsa and Mike.

Elsa, the overhang is not directly over this jump, although there are other ramps under the overhang where the jumps are inevitably less spectacular.

Mike, I took a total of 600 skateboarding shots, although at 8 fps it does not take long to get there.   I should say that I did get more than one presentable shot, but it is a good job I do not shoot film....... 

Overall, I was not over impressed with the X-T1 AFC, Nikon is still way ahead in this area.

Actually, it did not take long to delete most of them - it is very hard to get a skateboarder to pose correctly while in mid-air!
