 A self portrait with the timer so it took a quite a few runs and a bit of luck to get the camera in the right position, Turns out I had this shot with the 4th run, but didn't know it until I went home, defeated then spotted this one. Predicting a high 5, love to get a low 6 thou

As a few people have asked on specifics I bought an old film camera for $10 and tied it with fishing line to the top of the bag so that when I drove along it would pull down the top of the bag. It isn't attached to the bike at all it was just acceleration that caused it to pull away from the bag. The fishing line was rated at 9kg, but it did snap once and the camera came crashing down, but surprisingly there is no apparent damage

I sure hope the camera is tethered or this is a price to pay for a "CHANCE" at a ribbon

Cleverly done. I am guessing you had the camera strung up between the cambag and the mudguard with fishing line. A final nice touch would have been if you had panned the shot for background motion blur.
