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! Wink

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 fooledSmile

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.

flag panzerfahrer (Jan 16, 2008 at 14:30)
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 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!

everyone saying its fake because his forks arent compressed enough on the landing: it is fake, but the forks have nothing to do with it. To put into perspective; my forks compress a lot more when i hav both wheels firmly on the ground than when ive just landed a drop, it all depends where your weight is in relation to the bike when you land. the pic is 100% posotivly fake for 2 reasons: a) look at the leaves on the back wheel mid flight and the compressed front tire, also his shoe over the mossy rock, and b) because if you read the posts further up, the guy who owns the picture clarifies that it is fake and he didnt want it to be pod because he wasnt happy the way the picture came out. i think he did ride the drop, his forks didnt compress much because of his position relative to the bike (i hardly compress my forks on drops either), but he didnt superman it, he just took that sequence shot with his wheels on the ground and his body in superman position. im sure the owner will clarify this if he can be arsed, so read his post and staop arguing whether its fake or not.

Suppose photoshoping is like sampling music, you take something that you feel lacks a little, but has potential, and cut and paste the hell out of it to make something more to your taste. Sure this is fake, but at first glance, it's kinda cool.

Hhaha, he had the picture taken on the ground, jumping in the super man pose. Take a look at his arms, they look like they are supporting the weight of his torso. I'm no physics expert but last time I got that top heavy off a drop I crashed, and the fork is not compressed on the landing. "BUNKEY0207", there are two wheels on a bicycle, Bi= 2. The geometry of the frame transfers force to the fork / front wheel, to avoid catastrophic failure and rider injury. They probably put this picture up for an example of "How not to photoshop a picture". E for effort, P for poser.

Yes, I hate saying this but it deffinitely is photoshoped. Why does every frame have spokes, but the mid are air one? And at the frame rate that it looks like the camera was going, there would have had to been more mid air frames to make it real. But even if it is photoshoped, who cares, it looks awsome!

im not sayin its real or not, but it was mentiond about how can you get a sequence in a picture ,, well newsflash dummass, alot of the highend digital cameras can do that. and o dont mean the 4 or 500dollar ones either,, the REAL highend stuff.

and ATOMEG, i do agree with you it seems the spokes arent visible on shot 1 and 3 but the rest, they are. could be cuz its fake, could just be the coulr of them vs th esun/reflection i dont know.

either way its a cool looking shot.
