It's a good start. Keep shooting and getting in on the action...Future bike magazine shooter guy. You did not specify any of the details like aperture or shutter speed. Are you shooting on automatic all the time? If you are, you might want to consider looking at the exposure recomended by your camera, and then bracketing it manually so you get at least one expusure that is better than the rest. I know this is hard to do when it is sports pictures you are shooting. You don't have time to sit there and manually adjust your camera too much...You gotta be quick. Auto is much easier in a situation like this, but if this guy is practicing his trick over and over again, you might want to try bracketing. Good shot though, I like how the subject is not dead center, It's more dynamic with the rider a little further up the hill in the pic.
