I have a pro rider as a neighbor (#18 Brock Sellards) and he was at my local track yesterday along wit some other friends. I think these turned out fairly well but I'm always open for ideas & suggestions.

They all seem out of focus or softish. Maybe try pre focussing before the rider gets in the air. Good attempt, keep it up. Wish there was MTX riders around my area to shoot.

Cool, I think nr 4 is the best one. If you crop a little, sharpen, boost the contrast/saturation slightly then resize to say 800 x 600 they will look great

hey, for mx i normally like to get shots in the corners. i noticed when takin pics of them jumpin that its just them in the air, unless they are doin a trick or something interesting i dont take pics of the jumpin.

for me its all about the corner shots.

pic kinda sucks, but i think its more interesting than them just in the air.

maybe its just me that likes the corners more. lol.

2 more from this past Sunday. This was just a practice day and there is a race this Sat so I'll try and do some other stuff besides in the air.

Crash & Burn

I'll leave the rest to your imagination, the outcome wasn't pretty.

i think thats a great wreckin photo. i still havnt got one of them! almost had a bad ass one during the larettas qualifier but i decided to move up a little and the dude ate sh*t right beside me! it was a pretty nasty wreck. lol. he got his timing wrong halfway through the woop section and he ended up just like the guy in your pic! lol his bike wasnt happy either!
