    I've never tried these but have always thought they were interesting.
    I knew they were light streaks but not how you shot them until I read the description.
    Guess its time to get my backside in gear but you won't see me jumping a bike...lol
    Keep Shooting!

    These are great. If you want to expand on the idea, keep the exposure just the same and set up an off camera flash to light him in the air. You'd have to trigger it manually, but that would make for an epic photo - you'd have him frozen in the air and the light streaks leading up to it.
