    Wow!! Great captures of the entire event! thumb.gif

    The only nits I can make are that the 2 pics of the ladies seem to suffer a bit from snapshot syndrome; where their faces are centered with lots of empty space above their heads and their legs cut off. Moreso in the first one (of the 2 women). I'm just an amatuer hack, so my opinion is only that...but I feel that I often fall into the same trap when I shoot people if I don't think about the entire composition. Cropping can help in PP. But lately I've been trying to pay more attention and compose better in the camera.

    However, with your bike shots.....SUPERB!

    Haha, that is not a sequence. That is actually 3 different riders jumping right behind each other!

    Ya, thats how they end most of the shows! They do a couple variations, but its a train of all the riders doing either the same (backflips) or different tricks like this was. Hard to get them all in the frame though!! Usually quite the send off for the crowd. Seeing this, I really need to get shooting this stuff... Spring coming any time soon??? ne_nau.gif !!!

    Is that Bubba Stewart in one of the pics autographing? Man I can not believe he went to Team Yammi, from Kawasaki. My son is heart broken.

    That is Bubba, but he isn't signing anything. He is just chillin listening to his Ipod before the race down at the track entrance. Yea, everyone was so surprised when he went to Yamaha.
