[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot shows a pro-rider pulling off a boned-out tailwhip over the spine during the Pro-Street competition at the Hasting BMX Backyard Jam.

A tailwhip is a very difficult and impressive trick where, while still hanging onto the handlebars, the rider flips the rear of the bike all the way around 360 degrees after which they get their feet back on the pedals and land the bike and hopefully ride away. Failure results in a particularly spectacular crash, broken teeth and limbs and a great deal of pain!

Great action capture. It's amazing how much air they get under them.
