 I was pre-focused on this corner as the bikes came around. The rider that crashed did so, so fast that I didn't really have time to focus on him. He didn't have a very good day. He had several spills through out the day.

Here he is again crashing on an other part of the track in an earlier race

Owww, ouch! That's a very special form of humiliation, not only a wrecked bike and bruised ego and busted up body, but there's a picture of it, and more, it was entered in a photo contest, as a contender for the title of best of 2009.... Wow, grand humiliation! ;)

Actually a really cool shot, great timing, I just wish there was a little more separation between the gold yamaha and the soon-to-be-trashed red and white bike and rider. Still very well timed shot, I wish I could give a 6.5, but instead I'll give you a 7 ;), I'm sure that the trolls have taken care of making up the .5 difference here..

Nice action shot, well caught! It's just a shame you didn't have a bit more on the right hand side to get all of the second bike in the frame.
