I was out looking for an abandoned building and drove by a motocross track. I stopped and asked if I could take some pictures and they took me on a tour of the track and let me shoot away. I took some photos at the jumps, but I think this is the stronger composition.

nice picture, but a little bit claustrophobic - could have used some sky or a bit more depth - and i do think the border is too dark and heavy for this picture. 7 for the photo minus 1 for border = 6
Great composition and angle on the subject. Light picks out detail nicely and your exposure is a superb balance between crisp, frozen image and motion blurred elements. No reason not to vote this really high - like 9. Only reason it's not a 10 is because there could be more actual action in the scene.
