realistically the tires are probably no more than a 2.4, but since the camera is so close it makes it seem like it is and also makes an amazing picture!
to candymuffin:
it's not a spine, if you look closely after the take off the jump degrades in quality and starts to gradually get lower, its probably a hip of just a straight off take off to landing

sweet pic, that front tyre is taking the rest of the riders glory, we shal never no what this man looks like XD
and flaiuk you are right is isn't a spine but still a sic pictrue, you still could have commented on it
im talking photography wise not trick wise. front wheel is a huge blur, you cant see the riders head, comp is pretty bad, huge flash spot, bad shadows on the landing, bad shadows and flash spots on the rider, wheel is cut off. trick wise its sick, but that not what i was talking about. way to prop yourself there bud 
norcomanikowner(and all the others that have said it isnt a spine actually)

haha, have a few others on my profile that are a bit better, but he didn't have a helmet, so no POD for them
Let me break it down for you...
... does this look like it's been lit by the sun? ....No
Does it look like off camera flash work? ....Yes
How would you get a flash above the rider to make a shadow on the floor? I have no idea, my tripods are not that tall, so they are on the floor on either side of him & if there was a shadow it's projected upward into the sky not on the floor, so before telling ppl that it's fake you might want to ask where the shadow is. It's just more polite & you wont be wrong, you'll be educated.

sick picture, could be neater compositionally but other than that pretty decent.
what camera you use ? must be a fisheye or ultra wide angle!
