Photographer's Note
Spring in Warsaw - a perfect time to go for a ride on the bike and visit all the famous places and parks. And ... that’s what we did!
Park Agrycola - located in the heart of the city, close by the famous old town – is a green island with a lake and a small hill.
During last week many helping hands formed a real cool dirt track out of lots of dirt in order to create the most spectacular tracks ever seen in Poland!
Why? The European King of Dirt was on tour and the stop in Warsaw had to be one of the most impressive ones.
Not an easy thing for the organisers as well as for the competitors and their material - forks broke when the bikes crashed into the mounds- who said it will be easy? Flying through the sky is one thing - landing with the bike in a good position is something completely different. Maybe that’s the reason why the tricks have names like "Superman".
The King of Warsaw competition was held in a qualification modus: 2 rounds with 5 jumps for everyone. Almost in these qualification rounds the guys did the first sensational tricks like "backflips on no-hands”.

This is great Lukas. Excellent combination of sharpness in the center of the body along with motion blur on the hands. I really like the empty space at the bottom, it helps to give a sense of the air he was taking. good one.

Dear Lukas, another great action shot. I especially like the composition. The space below suggest he is really high in the air. Good movement in the wheels and hands :)

Excellent action shot Lukas. The space at the bottom shows where he is falling, and he is mindful of that, looking down. Very well framed and composed.

Cool picture Lukas ! Excellent split second capture. I like the sharpness of the rider and the implied motion provided by the blur of the spinning wheels and hands. Reminds me of the song " I believe I can fly.... I belive I can touch the sky !". Great job !!!

A great action shot, Lukas. Very well captured. The rider's pose reminds me of a parachutist jumping from a plane. Perfectly framed, with the space below. Good note.

A fine action picture and very well framed. Nice tight crop on three sides and the big space under that both gives him place to move into and gives a sence of heigth. Well done Lukas.

Another brilliant action shot. I like where you placed the man and the bike in the frame, which enhances the direction he is looking at. Great colors too. Very nice!

Immagine stupenda e molto carateristica di bmx, ottimo tempismo per lo scatto, soggetto in perfetta posizione, le parti sfuocate danno la giusta idea di movimento!
