If IRC the guy was taking about shooting skaters.
They hardly follow many predictable patterns. I was envisioning
photographing at very close range -. not at a distance, using AF and Wide
Angle Zooms. Shooting the skaters as they jump and turn in the air,
"running" and jumping over different obstacles etc. This requires three
things IMO: Speed, speed and speed! Features that were never very
impressively supported by Pentax.

People have been photographing girly skating for a lot longer than digital
cameras have been around.
Shooting any kind of sports requires two things:
Knowledge of what you are shooting and fast reflexes.
What you want is a camera that will allow incompetence behind it.
