tzrredrocket (Apr 19, 2010 at 14:44)

Okay, look how long the riders leg is, looks a bit long right ? Explain to me how the leg could possibly bend around his hips ? Look at the position of his knee, its about 3 ft away from his hip joint, and then look at the bent knee, looks a bit smaller right ? Either the rider has one massively long leg, or its been shopped. My vote goes for being photoshopped.

l-fmp-l (Apr 19, 2010 at 11:20)

navyman is right, dude. it's because he is leaning forward and the leg has an angle is about 90° to the "beam" (- it's most likely not the right word, but i don't know any better. if you want i can draw you a sketch. xD) of the camera.

Kevex are you dumb? Why would some one photoshop a picture that was taken at one of the biggest dirt jump comps of the year and then pass it off as the real deal? many people have seen these intense can's and know that they are real.

kevex (Apr 19, 2010 at 11:58)

Im sorry mate. If its real. Why is the sky all the same colour? Why is his left leg a different colour to his right? Why is his left ass check not in line with his leg? If you straightend his legs his belt would be at a messed up angle. His legs to long. People edit photos all the time. doesn’t matter where it was taken or who took it or who was riding. Know1 was there when he uploaded the pick to his comp. maybe ive got it wrong but know1 has convinced me yet.

@ Kevex.

I copied the file to my desktop and opened it with Exif Viewer, which is a program that analyses every part of the photo (Camera settings, file type, size, format etc), it's not photoshopped in anyway at all, if you photoshop a file the Exif information disappears completely. You should learn to know what you're talking about before you enter these arguments. Here's some of it for proof...

File name: p4pb4891866.jpg
File size: 141841 bytes (800x1200, 1.2bpp, 20x)
EXIF Summary: 1/2500s f/3.2 ISO400 100mm

Ohhh man.... It's soooo photoshopped! And then he went through the whole movie and edited every shot doing an indian air so his leg was extra extended.
Or, maybe you could just accept the fact that he can do crazy indian airs.

ElliotCunningham92 (Apr 25, 2010 at 13:33)

Its not photoshopped! If you had any idea of the UK DJ scene, you'd know for a fact that Daryl has insane indian airs, and that he can pull this trick. Fair enough it may look a bit strange, but truth of the matter is, its real. Check out the link from the dude above and check out 1.13 on the video if you need anymore proof!
