haha, Ian - did you not recently tell us about how to bring out the action and movement of a rider instead of freezing him cold dead sharp in the frame... =)

Well hes in the air and you can see where his take off is so use you imagination to how fast he was going

yeah, and if this was blurred you wouldn't see that he was in the air over a rock garden. Remember I also mentioned that positions of action, the way the rider was in the frame, can show the action as well..

@joalst: yeah? you can see where he took off? you must have magic vision then.
@Ian: you call this a rockgarden? looks more like slickrock all the way through with some hardpack inbetween. this: www.pinkbike.com/photo/3219645 is what I call a rockgarden...
