What is a good camera for photographing bike jumping?

[Ryan]

I do alot of bike jumping and like 2 post photos on myspace and pinkbike.com

what would be a good camera with a fast shutter lag to capture the high point of a trick or jump? ill spend around $300 cuz im only 14

You should ask the camera section however you have two choices:

1) Get a film or digital pro SLR camera with a tripod and have a friend take the shot
-or-
2) Get a Mini DV camcorder and record and edit with computer taking one frame turning it into a JPEG

I can't explain it all to you at the moment.
