Very big eyes indeed. :D

All great shots, I didn't realize they did side car racing in BMX.
I was shocked to see it in motox but thought it would be fun to try.

Thanks for posting

Holy smokes, These are all fantastic

I can't figure out how you shot #3 though... Its hurting my head, Maybe 2 pics combined to create one composite? I can't figure out how you would have such a sharp subject (in decent lighting) With motion blur on both sides... and a uniform blur in the background...
That or you have a very powerfull off camera strobe..

BTW #3 is by far my favorite shot :)

Thanks Lexicitus and Merry Christmas.
No. 3 is a single image taken in late afternoon I believe. The rest was done in photoshop by isolating the rider, selecting an inverse of that selection and applying a blur filter to the background. Client's love this stuff and it definately increases print sales.

Nice shots, Sham.. You got me out of my other hole after a while! I really like the sense of humor in the two shots... You know which ones..
