Abubaca

Ok, so I'll post from the call to action. (I'm not that active in the FS community)
BMX rider Brant Moore does a abubaca (rear tire tap) in Pauls Boutique room and Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Which One? (or neither)

Brant is a good dude. Good friends with Paul aswell. Stoked to get tires on his new little set up next week. I like both but i like the frist one more. Typically I'm not super into a really tight framing but sometimes its the right shot and this was the right shot! They look awesome

Ya he is a cool dude. Worked on a couple things together. I like both for different reasons. First one has better body position and a bit of tension which I like. The light to. Hate the tire cut off though and can't see enough of the room. I prefer the 2nd image but wish the body position had more tension. I wanted to see more of the room. That said, he makes it look easy and chill. Also, I should have got a ladder instead of hanging off the side of the top deck which was awkward. We might re-do the shot in a couple weeks. I'm an old (52) mountain biker and don't ride park but enjoy riding Rays. If you like park you should have fun as everyone who rides in there seems to have a blast. Brant and some guys played a game of "bike" before we shot this. Thanks for looking and have fun, Rays is a blast!

Typically I would not be into the tire being cut off but I think it works for that photo. Also typically I would like a wider framing to see the rest of the room but I feel like it would be more distracting. I don't know I just like it.
But yeah I ride everything. Dirt, park, street. Doesn't matter to me.

the first one mainly because the front wheel is closer to the lens and just adds that much more "extreme" ness. if you get what I mean
