Gotta love well executed cycle shots. Great job.

All very good images but for me the second one is the best overall especially because ofthe clear visor.

But the first image with that staggeringly low lean into the turn puts him in a class of his own - at least to my untutored eye.

[R Mutt]

Thanks,

20 some lap race and he was the only one to drag the elbow around this corner, and only did it on the last lap. One of my personal favorites of the year.

Thread is seriously lacking replies. Awesome pics, #4 is my favorite. Well done.

[cchuckup]

Wonderful pics. Number 5 is my fav. He must really look after his tyres if he can lean like that on lap 20...

[Jamie Holladay]

Very nice work. #2 would have to be my favorite.

[orinth]

Very awesome pictures. I like #5

[Sgt_Hovanec]

#2 was done really well. I like how you can see his face and expression without any glare.

Nice shots. Mind if I add a couple?

#2 is a great shot. It is difficult to shoot sport bikes without all of the pics looking the same (draging the knee in the corner), but #2 is one of the best I've seen in a while. Being able to see his eyes so clearly shows how a pro rider looks far through the turns.

AWESOME shots Bud! Great job.

[R Mutt]

Thanks all.

[Strick]

Nice shots. I know Lucca would like them.

Great shots. He reminds me of Eric Bostrom when he was on the underdog bike.

[Mike-DT6]

Fantastic quality shots there, every one of them. I love the elbow-down shot, but number 2 is my favourite!

[Strick]

When we got to Barber for the test right after Daytona he relized there were some good corners to drag his elbow so we had to duct tape knee sliders onto his leathers. After the test his leathers went to get velcro sewn on them for mini pucks.

That young man can go far nicely done

Gorgeous shots and what an amazing riding style, not really familiar with the AMA although a mate of mine rode in it this season, James Ellison.

Some of the best shots I have seen all season !
