Artist's Comments

Ok another bike shot, and about time some would (and have) said hehe.

So it's the final round at Brands Hatch in Kent. Chris Walker, a crowd favourite, chases down Chris Buckingham in the Druids hairpin and as usual grinds away another few mm of footpeg.

I still can't believe mere physics theory keeps all that weight and power on the tarmac through a contact patch the size of a playing card.

Damn thats one hell of a shot.....that lean is incredible......I wish I had the balls to lean in that far. Although I'd never try it on the street haha.

i suppose this is what happens when you start shooting at the most photographed bit of asphalt in the world, you go crazy and start thinking about physics :)

nice saturation, the bouncy look that the wheels have (because of the blur i assume) is amusing.
