You have to take a series of "rapid fire" pictures as the person travels through the air. And by the way, you need Photoshop... not Paintshop to do this..... Once you get the images off your camera choose the best series of say 6 or 7 pics to use. Then pick the first pic in the sequence and use that one as your very back layer. In order to create an adequate background (if a camera image doesn't work) you may need to splice 2 or 3 pics together. Once you get a decent background to work with, then just start sizing, then cutting out the images from the sequence pics, and cutting and pasting them in the right order onto your working PSD file. Once you get some sequence layers in place, just space them evenly apart, natural looking, and you must size them accoding to distance away from you - objects appear smaller as they get further away. Repeat this process. Cut from the sequence pics and paste into your PSD file. You may want to add shadows on the ground if you need to.

Exactly^. You can PM me the pictures and i'll do it for you if you want QJ. You will need Photoshop like KG said, PSP won't work. I could also PM you how to do it if you want. When the pro photogs take sequence pics of bikes its usually 9 frames per second, then they use 2 or three of the 9 to put together a sequence, then repeat for a total of 9 or 10. It depends how detailed you want to get.

Here is a bigger example. Big to small (or in this case, small to big) is key to being realistic.
