A ghost rider pops a wheelie on the Hogback west of Boulder Highway on Utah Scenic Highway 12. Don't try this yourself, folks, this guy was a professional motorcycle driver, taking a free test drive of a bike loaned to him by BMW.

Thanks, Robert. This is one of the few times that burst mode has worked out well for me. I wanted to catch him just as he camp to the peak of the little rise that's so distinctly in focus in this image. That's really the way the original shot was, not the result of selective blurring the image in editing. The "headless" pose was actually disappointing, and I kept shooting hoping I could good shot if he popped a wheelie closer to where I was standing. He did several passes for me. He was from Australia, I believe. The location where he was doing this is a hogback ridge, with very steep cliffs on some sides, but I was using a telephoto, not a wide angle, so that aspect of the shot doesn't come through.
