I wasn't going to enter this challenge, but the neighborhood kids were out front goofing around on scooters. The evening sun had the trees and sky lit up nice in the background. I took a couple of test shots to get the background exposure right. I set the camera on manual to that exposure. I then did a couple more test shots to get my flash power right (580EX on a Canon 20D). This is the result! I could not have gotten the action, along with a great sky, without my 20mm Sigma!

Great capture - the rider looks more scared than the 'victim'! The slant is a little distracting to me and it doesn't really give me the impression of wide angle (even though you clearly used 20mm).
If this weren't so tack sharp, I'd almost say it had too much of a snapshot sense. But it's fun and well executed. I love the perspective. Now tell that girl to go wash off her feet. LOL
