Justin - I have been away from usefilm.com for awhile and was surprised to receive a comment on my Aerial Bike photo. You are, of course, correct. Karl, the rider was doing a 360 off a quarter pipe when I snapped the photo. I had been photographing Karl for about two years and was very familiar with his riding. I had a new flash, a Nikon SB-80DX, that day and had set the camera to shutter priority and rear-curtain sync. I was leaning against the quarter pipe. His front wheel was literally inches from me and I took the photo at the right moment. I still do skateboard photography which I have photographed for about six years. While I still shoot film, I started to shoot digital with a Nikon D70. I had been worried about shutter lag with digital but that is not a problem with the D70. I continue to use film due to the telephoto factor of the D70 as I am a wide angle shooter. I have looked at your photos - they are very good. Thank you for your comment.

Hi Scott - I have done a little of this work myself - from my experience, and the direction of the streaking in the background, the rider was actually moving through the air in a sideward fashion, either spinning or turning the bike in mid-air. looks awsome though huh? Great work I think.
- Justin

alright, i'll bite -- how did you get this without getting hit? i love the perspective, especially the wide-angle effect of the front tire vs. the rest of the image. i've shot skateboarders before (with limited success) but not bmx...
