Finally a pod from you. Nice work. In your album is more than one picture which would be worth for pod. Keep up the good work and share your view for downhillracing!

Edam: you can see his lower leg on his pedal but you can see an outline of the rear wheel and it doesnt look like his leg intersects the image of the wheel at all. im not nessicarially trying to prove you wrong, i really don't know if it photoshopped myself. but your argument for not being photoshopped isnt holding to much water. maybe the guy who took the pic could tell us if it's been shopped or not...that would really help.

i think nearly all the people who say somthing is photoshoped have never actualy used an edditing program befor, they see somthing that isnt normal and just say photoshoped where is his leg ect, its behind the leaves and arm, you can see his foot. also if some one did want to photoshop a pic like this they would be really usless at it if they managed to chop of an entire leg..

one more point, paintSHOP pro is much better at selective edditing in my opinion ^_^
