Some of my Moto-X shots from Sunday

Moto-X is a lot harder than it looks to photograph, the only time they move in a fluid predictable way is when they are well up in the air and even then every rider flew on a different arc that changed lap by lap

The lakes track is a good track but is surrounded buy a 8 foot hight fence that made it very difficult to find good backgrounds/angles to go with the action, next time I will take a 3 foot step ladder to get me high enough to shoot over the fence thereby opening up lots more options

the track was dusty up the top

and muddy down the bottom

without the fence I could have shot from a lower angle to give more hight to the rider

just trying to rescue an out of focus shot of a start

Wow, plenty sharper than mine :-) dang it.
Really top shots, and yeah, its really hard to get good shots there, I was quite surprised at my low level of keepers. I took about 250 shots from the day and ended up with about 30-40 that were just ok. Even those were not what I would call acceptably sharp... :cry:

These are really great images Keith, Id be very happy with these!
