I had about 5 seconds before I heard the bikes coming to run across the street, get in position, and shoot...so needless to say, I slapped it in manual, focused to infinity, needed a decent shutter speed so I threw it in ISO 800 at the last second and then I fired away...obviously I could have gone lower, but oh well.
If I could do it again, I'd probably have shot RAW...and blended two images (foreground and the sky)...that wouldn't help me with the challenge anyway, but I did what I could :-)

I like this shot, great low angle and works very well in b/w, apart from the street light in the top left! not sure why you didn't crop this out, my eye is constantly drawn to it, very distracting!
