Cropped, levels adjusted, sharpened and Neat Imaged.
I was shooting the riders for about an hour with my wife, with this challenge in mind. This was my first time doing action photography like this and I was very happy with how my camera (not a SLR) performed. I'd like a little better focus and detail, but I'm happy with it.

Great campture and nice timing. Id almost like to see a similar shot with a wider angle. Would be cool to see some ground, or background to put their jump into context.
8 - Good clean shot against a clear sky. Criticism; perhaps a little darker coloring. More sharpness. Maybe black and white, not sure. Something to 'bring out' the 'chrome' would be good and maybe some 'spinning' of the wheels, if possible, just for an edge.
Lovely action picture - fits the challenge just right and the clarity of the shot is brlliant - I know how quickly these guys move through the sky. - 8
