    Did you have to wash the tire tracks off of your forehead after that shoot? Great shots. Way to get right into the action.

    Had no tire tracks on my forehead or any close calls, another photographer did ;)

    One of my tutors told me that to get the right pic you have to do whatever it takes, that stuck on my mind.

    All of these are great shots, BUT #2 is AWSOME. I know nothing of the biking stuff, but the pics are great.

    Nice Job...

    OK, well it's like this....

    SmartWombat didn't pick this weeks POTW, I did, but I think he would agree this IS the POTW..... nice job! I think what made this though was the rider looking back at the viewer. Of course the tire spin helps too. Your lucky to have had a cloudy day or it may not have worked so well.

    However! no matter what your tutor says, think safety first! We don't want any photogs with tire tracks or injuries or worse.

    Nice job DirtDevil..... just be safe!

    Lying down, a remote is on the wish list.
