Description
...me, myself and two wheels -2-...Switzerland // Zurich // Freestyle.ch
Rider: some guy..(I was too busy photographing
)This is the next piece of my "MX-Series", made @ the freestyle.ch in Zurich.
I made about 550 shots in those 3 days (puhh, i'm glad my camera's a digital
)This picture jumped right on me when i looked'em trough, so i tought i should submit it..
The only thing that bothers me a bit is the sky..Well, you can't control weather, i guess..
Hope some of you like actionpics like this...

I guess those are the 2 wheels... Well the sky does not bother here... I don't find. In contrary, you got a great enhencement of the biker bright colors...
This is stunning.
What I do not approve is the sponsors... But I guess there's nothing you could do!
Take care!
Karine.

Nice shot of a no footed nac. The sensation of height is amazing. Nice angle.

oh my god. kick ass photo again. love the angle. and I don't mind the sky, it gives more focus to the rider, that I like, emphasizes him and the colors of his jersey better. kick ass photo though, damn, would make a kick ass poster for my room, even though I'm a bit more of an urban freerider myself, not so much MX. still, can't ignore the coolness of MX

I rode motocross professionally for a couple years. What they do these days is truly amazing. I lived near where a kid named Jason Pestrana (sp?) lived in Maryland USA. I use to watch this crazy 16 year old race with all out abandon. He is a genious.
This image brings good memories. I still have a bike and race every once in a while when I feel like it. No better feeling...

I actually love the sky, I think it emphisizes the rider being its a dull backround. Awesome work!

yea. would be better if the sky was bright and "exciting" rather than dull/gloomy, but oh well. the composition here is great. and yea.. nice capture!

I was there..I was the one who took the shot..

jep...not on contests and stuff like that, but just for fun...it's my life..

yeaaaaaaah man!!!!I too!!! but do you do MX?
π: 0 β©: 0
i need to learn how to jump like that... but i still sorta suck at mx so i would probably wind up somewhat dead...
very nice shot. i think the lack of color in the sky draws more (if possible) attention to the rider, so i like it like that. that, and you had perfect focus and no blur.. what camera were you using for this?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you...
I was using a Canon EOS D60...My precious camera..

amazing shot.. rider/bike looks CG because they're so crisp. A nice interesting sky would have been nice in a way, but I think the rider/bike would have been "lost"

*looks at photo*
.... (beat)
woooooooah .. haha that has to be one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen
you captured it PEFECTLY.

yeah, nice shot. the sky doesnt really matter, it could have been worse, it could have been raining! lookin forward to checkin out some more pics from the event?? well done

weeeeeee!
nice capture. 550 sounds about right for an event like this.
keep the eye candy comming,

arrgh ... how are you able to catch always the right moment? it's amazing. and concerning the weather, i disagree with you: a more colourful sky would have drowned the whole thing in colour. but like that, it's pretty clean, and the colourful biker and the audience are nicely standing out ...

ich sag mal so, wenn der himmel klar gewesen wΓ€re, wΓ€re der kontrast von dem jumper nicht so gut. ich finde es wirkt so wie es ist sehr gut!! gefΓ€llt mir!

ofcourz the person behind the cam got to be cool too
π: 0 β©: 0
i'd say u have a cool camera which is capable of catching midair action in such a big frame.
π: 0 β©: 0
Fantastic action captured perfectly! Love the vertical composition too

this is a very well done shot considering there is usually a delay with digitals. the sky looks fine, i actually like it being mostly white because it looks a bit more minimalistic and has full focus on the rider. well done
