I think that you've done a really nice job on these, I love that panning shot the third photo (y) it's totally different to what I've seen before I love the idea of having some of the rider obscured by the foliage (y) really great it puts the rider into the scene (y) :clap:

Absolutely stunning work! I'm just getting into downhill biking photography (persuaded by a friend to give it ago as he wanted some shots). Are you a rider yourself?

Number 2 is my favourite I love the lighting! Number 4 is also great, I like the perspective its a bit more unusual to some of the other stuff I've seen!

I hope one day I can take pictures nearly as good as these! Do you have any advice on using flash when it comes to downhill?

2,3 and 4 are standouts for me.

1 - Think you have probably got better shots in the bag from a day at Woburn. I dont think this shot conveys the size of the hip or how hard it is to get that height.

2 -Loving the flare form the sun, water splasing up form puddle, location and skill of the rider

3 - Paning shots are hard but capturing Gwin at Mach 1, fair play quality image

4 - Down and dirty in the loam, this shot makes me want to get the bike out and go ride.

5 - Can appreciate the difficulty of both the shot and the riding aspect but for me its not a standout.

6 - Is that sun and dusty trails in this shot? jeez summer feels like a long way away. For me I would prefer to have seen this about 1 second before you got the shot so the back wheel would be fully in the shot.

Good to see these shots gives the rest of us something to aim for.

Alex Bond, number 2 from the Locals edit - why? because of the light, water splash, background, framing and overall the timing of Al about to hit a good drop ;)

No 2 is my fave but they are all good - you got these on 500px too? Sure I've seen them before?
 
Awesome! Really like all of these and No.2 is my favourite!! The video is really well shot too.
 
My favourite has got to be 4. Captures ripping those loamy tracks perfectly!
