The weather was miserable, over cast and rainy, but the people were having a great time.
Used my 17-85 IS at 1/1000 sec., f/7.1, ISO 400.

Very well done! I really like the timing, colors, expressions, composition - wouldn't change a thing.

Excellent shot! Too bad the weather wasn't, and still isn't.

Good thing about that weather is that you could easily photoshop anything you want into the background! It's almost as good as a blue screen!

Thanks Mark , for the kind words.

Mine too Bryan, I'll be glad when I can ride again.

Supperdiver, thanks. It is not that I am so good it is just that they are so ***

Thanks Wil, the weather is still the sh!*s here too :-(

You are right RobinL but I don't do PS well so I just post what I shoot.

Nice one Skip. Looks like that little tune up is working just fine and you have not skipped a beat. Keep shooting.

Thanks Mike.

Yes, Mills I seem to have more energy now and am well on the mend from the surgery. Thanks for the comments.

Really great shot Skip. With the blown-out BG (sky) it was screaming a bit of editing. Hope you don't mind.

One of the better roller coaster shots that I have seen, Skip! Really sharp, and great emotions captured. Glad to see you're up and about too :)
