Here's a couple I took in between runs.

More good looking shots Tad. The first shot of "L" looks like the back end is starting to come out. It just has that look to it, but I know the trail conditions should be pretty tacky. Shot #2 looks like you had the flash on riders left from the small shadow from the front wheel? Am I close?

Thanks Jimmy, I was very happy with these. I'm pretty sure she wasn't sliding out as you're right, the trails were nice and tacky. This is the best time of year to ride there before it turns into a dust bowl later in the Summer. Sorry, but you're wrong about the flash though. I had the 580 on the camera firing at full power to try and over power the sun. The shadow is from the sun which we were riding directly into. When I shoot and ride I only bring the bare minimum which is the Rebel, one lens and a flash. I did use the off-camera cord at Galby, but I didn't think to bring it last night.

Nice panning and exposure! The next thing is to get the compositions right. You have plenty of room to crop on these and still use the Rule-of-Thirds. And I don't think you need all the background information. Tighten them up and make those compositions better. But your exposure, flash, and pan need no work at all.

Very cool photos! I love the lighting.

Thanks guys. Yeah those are the full image as I was a bit too lazy last night to crop them. I could've said that I was just too tired from riding, but the truth was I was just lazy. Those are almost straight out of the camera. All I did was resize and a slight amount of USM.Here they are cropped.

I feel like Wayne's World: Excellent!
