Support - A sport that has always interested me, a good picture too. Oakley77 (talk) 22:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support OK, why not? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 11:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Snapshot of an obscure pursuit, claims of quality not sustained on closer examination. Good for the college magazine but it isn't pro-sports photography level nor is it FP-worthy. I shall resist the temptation to insert A vowel back there despite my conclusions as it its popularity already. Plutonium27 (talk) 21:26, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support we feature photos of obscure birds, so it seems fair to feature photos of obscure sports. If they're notable enough for an article then they're notable enough for FP. This photo seems like a reasonable illustration of the sport. Pine^✉ 05:36, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per plutonium. Its soft. Dusty777 18:45, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral "Obscure pursuit" would normally help it, because the photograph would have a strong EV. However, there are other illustrations to much the same effect in the article so what would otherwise be a very strong EV – and one which for me would outweight its not massive technical faults – but with them, it is one of many.
