I am a die hard mtn bike rider so this shot appeals to me. Nice job of catching the action and I like the sky (kind of dramatic). The lighting is a little harsh (not much you can do about that, I know) and the rider is a little soft. May want to try sharpening it after saving it at the smaller web size (I just learned that trick and it really does make a huge difference).

A great capture! Love the fisheye effect. Well composed. Just a tad over exposed I think. 7/10.

RE: Frozen nuts;

Actually, I was very surprised myself that my feet were the coldest part of my body. I thought it would be way worse than it was. Then again, I've also done the sauna to roll in the snow to sauna thing before too, and find that to be an interesting experience too.
I was taking shots for about 20 minutes before the wind really started kicking up, which then chilled me due to the water I had all over me from melting snow.
