Speaking of after the crash...

And, speaking of Brno, maybe the most artistic wheelie shot ever... ;)

For 2 or 3 years, there were 30+ chances (just during the races) to get "THE SHOT" of Hayden going under that mammoth mural, but I am still annoyed that I haven't yet seen a good one. :x
This is the best one I have, which you have to use your imagination, to flesh out:

Imagine this image larger... I am seriously pissed that I only have this in "small":

The first group of photos were stunning. The Ant west pic in particular...

This has always been one of my favourites

Something about the Aussies...
This looks to be the same corner as the Stoner picture, but during the race weekend last year:

This one?

I realize the moment passed, but I just wanted to weigh in with the "No" answer you were looking for. I was flipping back through this thread while talking to a friend and realized I never commented on it... 'cause that picture bestfit posted is pretty cool.

This isn't the picture OZ is looking for, either, obviously, but this is the livery for Bayliss that year:

Image

What he is talking about appears in "DTK", twice, but I have never seen a still shot... and I sure would love to see one!

I was thinking about more like this one..

Thought the one I am thinking of is him coming up a hill while doing something similar...
I love riding. But not in Libya.

This is definately not MotoGP but certainly a soul rider in the zone... Johnny Rea at Cadwell park in BSB a few years ago

Fantastic piccy - though the description 'a sole rider' always makes me think it's going to be a Max Biaggi retrospective...

Just read my post again and I say "soul" rider rather than sole rider. Not sure if that was a Freudian slip or not, but hey, take it whichever way you like :D
Any refernces to Max unintended...

Awesome but I didn't realize that the MX guys were now using slicks. Is he doing a front heel clicker or a NacNac in the next shot of the sequence? ;)

I think soul rider fits as well as sole, considering the big air he's acheived.

KIng Kenny high wide and handsome on his 'reunion' with the most fearsome bike every made the Tee Zee 750 flattracker. As aa friend and a forum member ,who's name escapes me, who was present noted nearly as fast as the A Main.
The pic just screams 'speed' ,'very high degree of difficulty' ,'steel balls the size of watermelons' and your not worthy. Still get emotional watching the vids from that. The best sound ever.

With all due reverence to the above picture... :!:

Sometime you just have to ask, "What in the... ?"

Is this the Amalfi coast?

edit- completely forgot FP2 was wet...

I knew this stonewall would make a great shot.
Some different angle and it would be perfect.

Maybe this is a better Lukey Heights picture...

Not being a pedant or anything, but I think you will find this is actually going thru the Southern Loop...T2 & 3... :?

Would be rather difficult to get the ocean background from that angle at Lukey Heights.... ;)
