Hi,
Took this sequence at a recent Formula Extreme meet at Eastern Creek.Race leader J.Cullen was leading when he high sided,his riderless bike continued into the path of 2nd place rider Cru Halliday,who luckily managed to stay on his bike despite the collision.The grey fuzz in the middle photo is the safety fence I was peering out from,the last photo was my bail out point (and change of undies time)!
thks,Nigel.

Great sequence...I am glad to hear that you bailed out and got yourself out of trouble. Hope everyone is fine after that spill. I am sure the riders involved would love see these photos!

That certianly is a great series, any chance of linking / showing larger versions?

I love the first, classic shot of the rider getting bumped off the bike - awesome shot for a caption, like...'look ma no hands...and no feet' :wink:

great stuff! :up: :up:
