Thank you!

I like the two guys shaking hands in mid-flight.

Re: Motocross action at Grattan- Sunday
As discussed at Grattan, your 1D would benefit from +1/3 or even +2/3 EC when using Tv or Av modes.

Otherwise, great shots with good action.
If you ever feel like shooting every moto on a hot summer day (from 9 - 6), and ensuring you get 6-15 shots of each rider (most events are 300-500 riders; some races we cover balloon to ~800), just jump on 95 south for about seven hours!

No photoshop. He was just looking to see if anyone was behind him while he waited to land.

I figured that had to be the case, but for some reason when I looked at the bikes in the background they looked to be going the other direction. Thought maybe you'd played a bit. Yeah, I know, old eyeballs...

Re: Motocross action at Grattan- Sunday
That's actually why I cropped that shot the way I did. The guys in the background are on a different section of the track. I thought it looked kinda neat....like he was looking at them (he wasn't - but it looks that way.)
