when a person called norris says one thing he's right because he is from Chuck Norris family so it's always right lol

Stoked that this dude landed it, as it looks like a pretty sick whip, but the two fellas shootin pics at the bottom of the frame don't seem too impressed.

raging-hippo (Apr 17, 2011 at 18:40)

aaronchao (Apr 17, 2011 at 18:41)

his leg caught his tire but he rode out and hit the next jump fine

nouser (May 2, 2011 at 9:22)

pierpoint33 (Jun 9, 2011 at 14:09)

He races b class at supercross, Malcolm Stewart. And yeah i might paint myself black next time i go out to rider dh so i can chuck out some crubs and mahoosive moto whips.

stewy34 (Jun 29, 2011 at 22:19)

Protour (Jan 29, 2014 at 10:08)

At first i didn't even realize it was a whip, I though it was just a crash shot.

GregoireL (Apr 17, 2011 at 19:40)

he should have gone for the nac!

nouser (Apr 18, 2011 at 15:15)

double nac on dh race amazing

extention (Apr 19, 2011 at 17:55)

Awesome shot. WHy was your ISO so high. Was it dark or were you getting to much motion blur?

aaronchao (Apr 19, 2011 at 20:06)

these guys were movin pretty fast and the camera was on a mono pod in the air for this angle so I wanted to make sure it was crisp, get very little noise even around iso 2500 so it wasn't a problem

extention (Apr 19, 2011 at 20:55)

I guess as long as there is no noise its fine. I would never have guessed ISO 640 by looking at the photo

nouser (Jun 30, 2011 at 9:32)

looks like he is ready to pounce onto something. i know now, hobgoblin off superman.

nouser (Apr 17, 2011 at 18:41)
