I didn't get out much this month with the camera, together with school and moving there just wasn't any spare time. This was taken at a motocross race I shot earlier in the month. The father of the kid in front (not crashing) loved that pic and bought it on site. The kid that crashed suffered only a broken wrist from what I heard.
I almost didn't catch this - I was just about to turn around and head out onto the track after shooting the starting line and saw this from the corner of my eye. I quickly focused and took the shot. Hopefully everyone enjoys it :-)
Taken at 260mm with the Canon 100-400mm L handheld.

The title fits well. A good action shot. I think from a different angle adding separation between the driver of #461 and the wreck would be more desirable, but considering that these things can't be planned for, this is a great capture.
