Nice, the flash really fills in the shadows on the face. Hope the flash didn't distract the rider too much.

Normally, when they see the camera they stop and pose

Moderately slow?!
Gotta get me a flash!

Did you notice how front wheels get very light in the proximity of a camera for some reason.

Sort of an "anti-gravity" effect

Absolutely, and for some reason when you get home, you notice this brown mottled effect on your lovely white lens

The bikes do a lot of bouncing up and down, as well as forward, which makes it a bit difficult to pan with a really slow shutter speed.

good shot ..sometimes I slow it down too much ..lol If I am shooting practice they really ham it up . during the races they dont pay much attention.

Nice race action capture.

I like it a lot

very nice

shows great action

Wow!! 1/60 - Guess that speaks volumes about IS - along with an obvious talent. Really nice shot

Nice capture!

True about the competitors hamming it up for the camera. I saw a guy in a desert racing F-150 gas it for a little kicker, launch into the air and take out a telephone pole... all because he saw a few of us shooting right there. Of course, I got a bit of the leap, but no sequence of him going into the pole.
