 Paeroa Battle Of The Streets

This event is held once a year. It is true street racing that gives the riders a few challenging corners & a long straight that they can reach speeds up to 280km per hour. This rider is about to enter that straight off the hairpin corner.

This bit of editing is slightly different for me. Normally I like the tryed & true "rule of thirds" but I went for a square crop to add impact

Thank you everyone that voted on this entry. This is the highest ever I have scored in a free study so far & at the moment my second best ever at dpc.

I'm a sucker for a good sportsphoto. Love to do them myself. This is
"ridicolously" amazing! Especially everything taken in concideration.
