Humm...It's kinda like drifting but its after the exit of the corner. Most of the ones I have are breaking loose in mid corner. If I have the time I'll need to take a new one at the proper location.
 
Doesn't have to be exiting a corner, you can be sliding the back out as you enter a corner too, as they seem to enjoy doing in Moto GP these days (Gary McCoy style) :)
 
Final Entry


Honourable mention

i like the HM, but, imo its not as interesting to look at as my entry. the HM is at deep forest in the brake zone for turn 1. it looks like hes backing it in, but, in reality. hes about to get thrown off the bike and into the outside wall. the editing didnt turn out as well either.
 
Nice work [es] 👍 the photo looks great!As for mine,its nothing compared to yours :(

E_S, that's an amazing shot! :eek:

The light/shadow effect is fabulous! 👍

The rider's pose also helps a lot to the shot style.
 
Well there's another week to go, so hopefully inspiration will hit you. I always enjoy your entries so it would be a shame not to see you enter. :(

And yes that is a shameless prod to get something out of you! :D

Speaking of which, I'd better get snapping myself...

Thanks...Im not giving up...Ill keep at it. Im just having a tough time getting the slide. Once you figuire out the limits you dont push the bikes into those "off balance" situations...so Im forcing myself to to get the bike loose.
 
btw does anyone have a problem if I include Kaede's 'non-entry' in the poll? That would make a current total of 6 entries for this week.

The usual unwritten rule of not letting the previous week's winner entering is intended to stop the same person winning week after week, but I don't think that will be a problem here as UnoMOTO won the last. Also I don't think Kaede has used his advance knowledge of what the theme was going to be to any real advantage here.

Any comments or discussion on this matter would be welcome.
 
I forgot that I hadn't put something up for this. :crazy:

If it is ok that I enter something?!
