Went to a stunt bike display (they are nuts") got loads of images and will take me ages to get through them; also managed to get to see a steam train

Now thats what trains should look like. Love those carriages.

You caught the bikers action well and you are right - they are nuts. Makes you wonder how many times they have to crash before perfecting those jumps.

bikes! I used to race MotoX, but didn't do any of the extreme stuff (and don't want to). Brings back good memories.

Wonderful train pix Dave! I love the last one - beautiful!

The train is great Dave!! My Dad would be going nuts right about now if he saw this! For a loco it has quite a history - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4488_Union_of_South_Africa.....

As for the bikes - as nutty as these guys are, somebody just pulled a DOUBLE back flip on a motoX bike this summer. Shocked

For me, the bikes in the first picture seem a little lost against the sky unfortunatly Embarassed

I like the train shots a lot, but might be tempted to paint out that grey sign in the first one. The first one also looks like the rails are on a camber - worth a look see if rotating the horizon to counter it levels the thing out??
