Red Bull Photography recently joined our community with a verified brand profile of their own. This partnership isn’t just about amazing photography—it’s also about amazing stories. Behind every shot on Red Bull Photography is a talented photographer, a wild story, and a few lessons learned. We’ll be telling those stories every week here on 500px ISO and the Red Bull Photography website.

When it comes to photographing pro cyclists in action, there’s nothing like capturing them high up in the air. Whether they’re on a bike or a motorcycle, shooting amazing aerials of wheels are a great opportunity to capture drama, power, and the thrill of the sport. Getting the shot is just as challenging and daunting for photographers, just as it is for the athletes. It takes technique, lots of patience, and the right camera gear. To inspire you, we put together this exhilarating collection of bikes in the air taken during various Red Bull competitions around the world. Scroll down, and get ready to be blown away!
