Its a cool photo, shame about the photoshop blur though :/ Though i cant see how else you would get that effect straight from the camera, as the object is moving towards you blah blah

It is possible... Insanely fast CAF + slower shutter speed + zooming(or maybe unzooming) during the shot

If you're going to use my expression, Toby, use it properly; in this case it should be "...in/to biblical proportions".

Awesome POD anyway...

To all those who say this can be done with a slow shutter speed while zooming: You can only do this with a stationary object. The rider is not a stationary object, even if he tries to maintain this position while moving directly at the camera, any slight movement would show up as a blur. There's nothing wrong with using Photoshop because it's a great tool. That said, there's no point in denying it when it's used.

Ok guys, I can see a lot of b*tching here because I photoshoped the picture. Sure I did and maybe the original one is not POD material, I just added it so you can judge : http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2075471/.
Nor the trick neither the jump was huge. My aim was to render the speed which is why I decided to emphasize the background's blur. I could have done that optically, but the effect would have been miles away from this.
Anyways, I think this was something pretty new, I've never seen this before and I urge you to bring new ideas so you can get POD one day, untill then...enjoy
Props to the rider Olivier, and all the shapers from Verrières-le-buisson, where we had a great contest the last week-end : http://www.pinkbike.com/video/21500/
