->> Mark,
I love the shot, but I really like number 4 in your gallery. I think the motion all around the rider really makes that a special image, looks very commercial. I guess what I am saying is that I think it ads to how crazy the sport is with that motion blur around the rider.
Anyway, thought I'd tell ya so you don't throw that one out later on but maybe use it as your lead image other than the other shot.
Awesome photos,
later,
Robb Long |

The rider simply set the self-timer.

->> Is this a self-portrait with Mark way-teeny-tiny on the ground below the rider?
I know if it was me I wouldn't be able to resist it at least once. ;-)

| ->> Karl, they actually have a range of 1600 ft, but you still need a receiver hooked up to the camera. I'm guessing that rather than put it on the hotshoe Mark taped the receiver to the bike to make it more secure and safer. |

->> this whole set that Mark has shown us is simply amazing!!!
Mark's idea and the execution has pushed the envelope once again.
I am glad we got to see it here on SS before the magazine.
keep up the good work Mark!!!!!!!!!! |

->> Awesome image. I suppose that after Mark broke his super clamp, the shot he has that is shaky is him shooting one handed with his legs wrapped around the handle bars.
I know that Mark is shooting Nikon, but I think it is time for a switch to Canon...This shot is screaming for full frame from a 5D or 1Ds.
Awesome job Mark... |

->> Not sure if they used a pcket wizard or not, but another option would be the interval timer the D200 has. You can set the camera to fire at a certain number of times and intervals.
That wouldn't give them as much control as the PW, but it would work. However, they did it the result was sweet. |

| ->> Wow that Josh Merwin shot is awesome, I love the background. Marks shots are great but its a shame all the stands are empty in the background. Will be interesting to see if he manages to get any more when the stadium is full. |

| ->> Looks like someone needs to make a machined aluminum superclamp for this type of usage, the cast aluminum did not fair too well.. Nice shot Mark. GLad you didn't strap a Mark II to the handle bars, it would have certainly thrown the balance of the bike off. |
