How is that shot lit...? sorry guys the photog in me is ever so curious... could it be another HDR... backlit sky and the fact that the rider isnt silouetted (how ever its spelt.. sory lisdexic) Just seems wierd to me.

That being said, doesnt take anything away from how gnarly and sick the photo is and how nuts the rider is. BIG UP bru!

why do people say this is a poor pic....i mean the stunt this guy is doing is something u don't see everyday and something that most of the people can't do.....so stop shitting about the photo and say it's good, cause it is indeed. And if some1 has a pic that maches this one or is better than this one than put it on.....in choosing a POD riding is more important than the photo quality...everyone can do a little of photoshop, but than u can put your pics on a different site
