I was shooting a motorcycle race last weekend, and happened to get a really clear shot of a crash. I wish I was on high speed continuous on my 7D when I shot this:

I should mention that the rider was fine, and bike was fine, and he made it out for his next race.

    Nice catch! As one who has been down a few times I can say he will be tender in some spots for a few days!

    Oh for sure. But luckily he was able to get back out for the next race.

    Thanks for looking/commenting!

    Talk about being in the right spot at the right time.

    A slower speed on your camera might've helped get across the real speed and danger of what's happening. Specially #4 without the other photos he just seems to be sitting there, while he really is skidding.
