The motorcycle rider in question is professional stunt rider Hiroyuki Ogawa. The man behind the camera is Japanese photographer Kohsaku Hashino, using two bare-headed B1s to freeze the action.

"There are a number of reasons why I choose to work with the B1 on this shoot," says Hashino. "Shooting on-location meant that I needed a battery-powered flash. I also knew that having a completely cordless flash would make things a lot easier when Ogawa was riding his bike back and forth. Last but not least, I needed speed and power to be freeze the action."
