    I have never seen a road bike airborne. What a great shot. I really enjoyed them all.

    Gary,

    Great job (again!)...

    No matter how often I see road bikes in the air, the composition always puts a smile on my face :D
    ...they just seem so out of control or wild when both wheels are off the ground and they aren't leaning over and scraping the pegs going through an apex!!

    They're tough shots to catch and you've nailed several this summer thumb.gif
    My hat's off to ya!
    Cheers,

    Chris Sedg. :cool

    great shots,
    are they jumping the bikes on purpose? or are they just going too fast without knowing about the hill?

    the wheels on my bike will be off the ground tonight on the roads i ride out in the hills of Derbyshire

    Derbyshire roads on two wheels....Excellent

    Bit of the cat and fiddle, a run down the A6(not on a bank holiday though) to matlock bath.

    Back roads up around Crich and Pentritch

    Im a Derbyshire Ex-biker, Ex because my Girlfriends brother died on the A6 on his bike and 2 of my other friends died on their bikes pretty young and because of that she just cant get any peace or relax if im out on a bike.

    Havent ridden now for 3 years! Really miss it when looking at shots like these.
    Trapped in my bedroom taking pictures...did i say bedroom? i meant studio!
