I haven't shot a lot of sports, so your thoughts on this one are much appreciated.

Hi Scott,
I agree with Chuck about the wheels, however, if the crop was in the frame, not much you can do about it.:D
A couple of composition suggestions:
1. If possible, I would crop just behind the rear wheels and leave more open frame camera right so the rider appears to be entering the frame and not leaving it.
2. I would try to shoot at a lower angle.
3. Be aware of your backgrounds and straighten your horizons. I have been caught on this too often in the past and am getting better as time goes by.:D
I most certainly didn't crop out the bottom of the wheels. Just missed the framing. Doh!
I also see the background is a bit tilted so that's something I can work on in both shooting and post. As for the room to the right I'd tend to agree, yet I thought (maybe incorrectly) the story was with the motorcycle pilot, cameraman, guy clapping and then the rider. I've got some others with quite a bit of space in front of them I may try to get posted as well.
Thanks.... and keep 'em coming! It's the only way I can learn.

The only problem I see it that you cropped off part of the wheels.
Take Care,
