 There is a huge indoor BMX park near where I live, so I headed there with a bit of studio gear and took a bunch of photos of the young acrobats there.
Fascinating what they can do on their bikes. Makes my stunts I did as a kid pretty lame.
I was trying to get some blur in the photos.. thus the low shutter speed, but the background ambient light wasn't high enough to show anything.

Anyway... here are a few outtakes.

Thats what I'm talking about. With the shadow, it adds to effect of actually
being off the ground. Don,t care for the frame. Good Shot
