    Brilliant shot Al! Love the expression on the rider’s face…..........can’t quite tell if he’s smilin or in pain!! LOL….............

  • Al Bourassa replied

    I think it is more of a grimace in concentration to keep his balance.

    Great shot Al!! I love the action and the expression. Don’t you know he was mighty sore the next day or the second day after this!! Wow.

  • Al Bourassa replied

    Yeah, I think he’ll be feeling the effects for a while. When we get over 40, we aren’t as flexible any more.
