ya, that is cool. i've been wanting to add the multiple riders in one photo to a few shots i have. is this a photoshop nightmare, or is there an easy program available to do such?

Hey Zedbra, it's not the hardest thing in the world, but does take some practice to get used to some of the quirks and tricks that make it far easier (or harder if you forget)

The easiest way to start would be to set up your camera on a tripod so every photo is exactly the same except for the rider, then you can use PS or the image editor of your choice to mask the rider in each image.

The next step is to shoot a sequence while you're moving the camera. Here the most important thing is that the nodal point of the lens stays in as much the same place as possible, so you can line the photos up with as little effort as possible.

I keep thinking about trying to get someone to help me make a short video about how I do it, but that keeps getting shoved down the list. One of these days…

I for one would really be interested John on how you go about doing it. I think it is awesome and you do a great job at it.

Keep up the cool shit!

I've seen a few demos using papervision to project panoramas, but that's actually a bit overkill for these.

I'm using a fairly standard flash player, just called "Flash Panorama Player" - http://flashpanoramas.com/player/

Haha, didn't actually end up eating. That photo was shot around 6am in the morning on new year's day, after a long night of Junkanoo.
