Patrick9-32 (Dec 7, 2012 at 8:01)

That's because he worked through the proper channels of money and power to get them.

Taquitou (Dec 7, 2012 at 8:07)

That is one crazy stitching!

cliffdog (Dec 7, 2012 at 9:56)

I reckon he bailed and punctured his womb!

@ kylsligo, WTF does a crash have to do with a great photo! Crashes produce some of the greatest photos and memories! Wink

six66 (Dec 7, 2012 at 13:58)

Nah cant be fake, look at the dirt, and the vanes popping in his arm. Also how his shirt is all kinda blowing around. Not fake.

bigburd (Dec 7, 2012 at 3:31)

not fake but hes not riding out of it either , to me he looks like its about to dig in and chuck him off the bike.

mph51 (Dec 7, 2012 at 9:30)

Yeah, I agree. The question isn't whether or not it's fake, it's whether or not he got that injury from this shot or something else entirely different.

Motoracer31 (Dec 7, 2012 at 9:48)

He didnt get hurt, i was there haha so rad! He did it like 10 times throughout the day. pretty much made me feel like a goon hitting the same berm trying to get low lol.

rockhopper15 (Dec 7, 2012 at 0:50)

bikinhippy (Jul 28, 2012 at 6:04)

ow bet that was one sore hand after the shot!

[Reply]

glessner (Dec 7, 2012 at 10:02)

everybody's saying his hand's in the dirt and he's bailing - i think it's just part of the berm between him and the camera and his hand is behind that mound. he's low but he's not in it.
