That has got to be fake. Some of the front wheel has been cropped when he is in the superman, there's leaves infront of his back tire in mid air and it doesn't look like his forks are compressed on the landing.

Ciaran, as much as you will contentiously get ridiculed for saying that, I think you might be right.

Also, the spokes are visible in all the photos, except for the one in the air. Plus, there is white on his front rim.

Non the less, it was well done, its had a lot of work put into it.Its POD worthy.

It's pretty awesome, but It can be photoshopped. I'm not saying it is but it's very easy to photoshopp this kind of pics. you just shot two sequences, one with a superman-crash and one with a good landing. You just change the 3th picture. I belive it's real so hands down Pod for sure!

course its photoshopped. Eastwing, obviously youve never worked in photoshop or youd know inserting 1 picture into another is probably the easiest thing to do in photoshop.

Look at the front wheel. Like Ciaran said, no spokes in the front picture, and the white coming out of nowhere. Yeah. thats fake. Negative props as you will.

Photoshopped. The lighting on the rider is obviously coming from his back. His back is lit up, and his chest etc is dark. BUT, the lighting in the background is coming from the right. Look at the moss on the rock, it's lit right up.

Obvious photoshop, but cool anyways. Props on the idea.

I believe this picture is photoshopped. I opened it in my photoshop to have a closer look. and you can not see any spokes in either of the wheels and if you zoom in you can see that there is missing a part on the bottom of the front tire. You can also see some leeves on the rear tire but I cant see any trees there in the real picture.
Nice try though allmost had me fooled

its only photoshopped to produce a sequence shot, the photographer takes a few shots, from a tripod with the rider going from one side to another, the the picture is put on layers in photoshop, and you cut out parts of each layer to produce a sequence shot, which makes the wheel looked cropped in this case. There is no other way of getting a sequence shot witout photoshop.

ok, so if you do a tripod shot, why the heck would you have to crop the wheel? there's plenty of space around the superman shot, you don't have to crop anything.

it does seem hard to believe because you need to jump up for a superman, it's why the bike doesnt fall down from underneith the rider, because of the upwards momentum - but who knows, I cant pull them. Cool pic whatever.

It is so damn easy to make that picture! You just put the camera on a tripod and do a sequence when he is riding towards the ledge. and then you do a sequence when he is riding on the ground at the landing. And the you take one single picture of him doing a superman on the ground with his arms leaning on the bars. its that simple. You can tell that the superman is on the ground because there are leaves on the rear wheel and he has cropped away a part of the front wheel and also the spokes are missing.

The one point people have missed is the shear fact that the rider is doing a drop to flat somewhere in the region of 12ft and he has hardly compressed on the landing! There is also a slight anomoly with the front tire in the mid-air shot; the colours in the picture have definately been enhanced too, not to mention how impossible the trick would be to do.

A nice pic however - we can all dream!

Moreover, on the reception, the fork is not compressed at all..... strange strange ...... and a drop as big as this one is very hard with this kind of bike!
