About A biker shows off his stunts during this weekend's Fire & Ice Biker Rally in my hometown. When he noticed some teen doing wheelies on a little mini-bike, he had to jump on his and show the kid how the big boys play.

Thank you Mahassa. I didn't think about the decisive moment project.

Using a slow shutter, I had to pan with the bike to capture this. I do a lot of panning with moving objects but it always boils down to hit and miss... and luck. I got lucky with this one, both from no pedestrians in the way and the perfect speed of my pan to capture him and motion blur the background.

John, here's a picture of the mini-bike that the guy on the big bike decided to "one up". I didn't realize it until I looked at this picture.. the guy might be a bit older than a "teenager".

*LOL* Serious hot actionshot! Great bike. CRazy attitude as if the poor man really need to show off in front of the children.
Take care

Thanks, Shirley. This really was one lucky shot. I was the farthest away from him when he began playing and got this shot. I moved in closer and took more, thinking I would have to deal with people walking in front of the lens. I was wrong.

Cap'n.

Thanks, John. He was driving at about 30 MPH when I shot this. Crazy.

And I had a chance of catching one falling down. Right in front of me, two old people on a huge Harley Davidson just fell right over. I was stunned and should have taken a picture. But I moved to help them and then remembered my dog Diablo was with me and thought it would probably scare them even more to find him in their face.

A great action capture, Cap'n! I know what you mean about the danger of bikes. My dad had a couple and had some serious accidents. We call them 'murdercycles' and 'donorcycles'.

Thanks, Barbara. But no, I don't have a bike. I wouldn't be caught dead on one. Not in my line of work. I've worked way too many fatalities involving motorcycles. I just went to the rally as a photo opportunity. Don't even really care for these types enough to hang out with them.

This is a spectacular action shot, I am just never this lucky, don't see this much action all year, well I guess that is because I don't stay in town much, to busy trying to stay cool. So I guess you have a bike, and road all the way to big D, sounds like you had a lot of fun. excellent job. 7+++++++++++
