ok then, why would the blood be on the rotor before it rotated through the squirrels body, the rider has just rubbed the squirrel against the rotor for more effect, it is obviously fake. why would a squirrel run towards a bike rotor anyway.
They said it was fake in MBUK to get them off the hook because people were complaining - They didnt want bad publicity. My money is on this being real; I've hit small animals on the trail, and nearly the odd dear once or twice!
I ran over a cat late at night on the sidewalk, it must have gotten spooked and ran out of a bush as i passed. I ran straight over the center of its back and it still ran away! I see rabbits and squirrels all over the trails,and have came really close to killing them myself, its definitely a real photo.
