Hopefully he doesn't get railed by an antelope at full speed while he's in the air.

Super shot - great bokeh! It's so dry up there at the moment which makes for great dust trails.

This image is about having fun on your bike, not trying to prove something. If you can't see that keep quiet & wait for tomorrows POD.

gavlaa (Feb 3, 2012 at 4:43)

I like the out of focus sections- but I lack the photographic jargon to explain why!- I just think the glare and colour gives great warmth to the shot. I wouldn't say the rider is doing a 'flatty' either- he's just injecting a little style on what looks a bloody nice ride. Good times.

roachsa I hear you buddy but don't be talking to me about dry right now or you'll be had for manslughter :/

stevenmorrow (Feb 3, 2012 at 5:09)

Summer, Sun und Dust :-( How lucky you are. Here it's -15°C and I'm gonna put on my Spikes :-(. Great Pic !

ericpalmer (Feb 4, 2012 at 7:59)

Just came back from a shoot in Paarl & am a little toasted. 40C expected there for the race tomorrow! It's going to be shadow chasing for me. Maybe we could trade temperatures for a day or 2? haha

dirty-fecker (Feb 4, 2012 at 9:14)

We could meet in the middle and both have 10°C+ ;-)
