 This is one of the local kids having some fun in my backyard where a small neighborhood motocross track will eventually be... it's gonna be a killer summer ;)

Wow, my first ever validation request :) I wonder what it was that made someone think it wasn't valid.

This shot could have used some adjustments. While it is a great capture, in terms of image quality it could use improvements. The background trees seem to take away from the shot. Maybe if you had shot from a bit lower perspective to get just the sky. Also because of the lack of lighting on the subject, you're getting shadow in this shot. It's not a silouhette but it's also not very bright which takes away from your subject's definition. Maybe a bit more contrast could help this shot as well.

Nice promotion shot for motocross.

A touch more centered would have made this an excellant demonstration of stop motion action. A beautiful capture which could have gone very wrong. Good detail - little more contrast to bring out the rear wheel would be a major plus as it tends to blend into the darker background of the tree line. The little details make this a great image and evocative of fitness of the motocross athelete. A top fifteen image at least if not top ten.

I think this would really pop more with a more shallow depth of field, the trees are a bit distracting.

I am not voting on this image but if I did I would more than likely give it a 5 or lower.

Let me explain, I "personally" don't think you met the challenge's request to take an image of a "stock" photo of fitness. Your photo isn't bad or physically hard to do but I just don't think it's a "stock" or "fitness" style image.
