I liked the creative intro and crisp HD shots.

Here are some constructive points:

1. Sync the shots better with the music so it flows more natural.

2. Try some more creative shooting angles -- start gate, finish, atmosphere, close close ups on riders, tires kick up dirt in slo mo, wide angles, etc.

3. I thought the ending could be improved. The lens flare was out of place and overused. Lens flares are good for transitions and less than a couple seconds of use, at least IMHO.

Anyway, great job. Btw, what are you shooting with?

Cheers.
