I took so many photos trying to get the face in focus and this was the best with my first outing with my Sig 80mm-400mm,cant wait to go this year with the new D300!!! Might actually get a few im happy with.

This is a very good shot. You got the moment perfectly. (NIKON is NIKON!). Did you use tripod?

All the best

Cheers Mate,always use a monopod for sports & events as getting close to the action along with 3 million other people and a tripod is a pain in the proverbial you know what...

Steve, you will have so much fun with the D300, I have been playing with mine at practice, before I start commentating the sprints etc, that burst rate with a race car coming through a bend is awesome..

Hi Steve!

I have not tried monopod yet, but I will try that. Thank you for advice.

Excellent shot mate. If you had done it with a canon the front wheel would have been off the ground

Seriously though this is a cracker. Great shot!
