that needs crazyness!!

sam-on-specialized (May 28, 2009 at 8:42)

Hey, you wanna know why it is real, look at the f*cking tree on the right of him! Looks about right for a human/small tree ratio you retards. It's just amazing riding and talent and balls, so stop sayin it's fake, cos it's fuking not!!

EvilDaveG (May 28, 2009 at 12:56)

i can see why people would say it is fake or photoshopped cause is is freekin' unbelievable, but because it is legit, all those non-believers can shove off... hats off to you sir, you've done what nearly all wouldn't have the balls to attempt. Well deserved POD, couldn't imagin the rush of that ride....

nosewheely (May 17, 2009 at 21:38)

to sam: give me your email-adress and I send you the not compressed 5MB pic. directly from my camera so you can zoom in better. (panasonic DMC-TZ5) it's taken with 10x optic zoom from a distance of about 50 meters.

bramiezz (May 20, 2009 at 13:09)

you could upload it on imageshack or something in the original size

nosewheely (May 28, 2009 at 4:02)

Last summer I already rode the steps when there was no water coming down. So I knew already which steps I was able to ride and which ones I had to hop down on the back wheel as I used to do in trails competition. I used maxxis minion DHF 42a 2.5 UST with less than 2 bar in it to have maximum grip. I have the non compressed picture in 4.3 MB size on my computer.

DishWashh (May 28, 2009 at 4:27)

It's not photoshopped for the love of god. If you would shut up and at least look into it rather that just open your mouth for once....

nosewheely (May 20, 2009 at 21:30)

picasaweb.google.be/nosewheely/ForPinkbike

here it is!

doug13 (May 28, 2009 at 0:48)

Did he make it all the way down? That's sick, props to the rider.

nightmareterror (May 28, 2009 at 7:11)

Yeah this is great, and totally do-able if you have the skills. Saying this is photoshopped is like telling the rider he's "HACKING" lol!

Stiefan (May 28, 2009 at 7:38)

The guys who say this pic is fake just hope its fake, because when they see this, they realise they really suck at mountainbiking

iamamodel (May 28, 2009 at 18:29)

Looks like the spillway of a dam. Perhaps designed to allow some aquatic life to ascend into the dam or perhaps just to look pretty. I'm sure this is not the ONLY photo on the internet of this place.

The drop behind the rider looks about five feet high. It looks perfectly doable for a good rider. Not photoshopped. Why would anyone bother?

If nosewheely told us the name of the place you could Google images in a heartbeat - probably with people standing in front of the drops. And then everyone who says its photoshopped would look like a tool!

POD!

doconnor (May 28, 2009 at 0:47)

perhaps google earth can answer the controversy..a feature that large would be visible..

bartgast (May 28, 2009 at 6:56)

No photoshop read above. ( i trust belgium people)

Maar moest wel ff nadenken ... want dit is echt te vet!!!! Eerste wat ik dacht was omg daar wil ik vanaf , na goed kijken zie ik ook daadwerkelijk iemand haha!!

Super!

iamamodel (May 29, 2009 at 9:51)

Okay, 1. punch 'lago di tenno, italy' into google maps. 2. go about 500 metres to the south west of the bottom left hand corner of the lake. 3. Change to the satellite view if you aren't already. That long caterpiller looking thing is the 'stairway'. If someone can find a link to a tourist's photo of the thing, post the link please. I'm done. I'm still trying to find a tourist shot of the thing.

eighteen18 (Jun 2, 2009 at 12:43)

omfg who said that the trees look like grass.. must have been very dumb .. :S it's obvious that these are trees, or bushes, i don't know.. but in no way this is grass!

Props to the rider!

dh-andy (Jun 17, 2009 at 8:16)

Ufff, i could do that with my eyes closed!!

The reason my eyes are closed is beause ill be at the top and when im about to drop the first step ill have a heart attack and di

but still my eyes closed

downhillalltheway (Jun 22, 2009 at 5:45)

dude if only i had a bike and an opportunity i would do some stupid but awesome shit like that but anyway very sick a people check this out its such a better pic of this

picasaweb.google.be/nosewheely/ForPinkbike#5338129299263976050

Th3-Firestarter (May 28, 2009 at 1:02)

I don't care whether that pic is real or fake, it still looks feckin nuts!

adamb123 (May 28, 2009 at 1:20)

PROPS

hartlejs01 (May 28, 2009 at 4:59)

thats not photoshopped! where would he get the samples from to make the other ledges? If it was edited then every step would be the same and so would the water flow! SICK PICTURE!

doconnor (May 28, 2009 at 10:48)

why doesn't the location of the picture be given, then we can see for ourselves online using google earth or other pictures of it...where exactly is it?

Mazekwon (May 28, 2009 at 13:44)

If you think it's fake check this out

picasaweb.google.be/nosewheely/ForPinkbike#5338129299263976050

I hope you realize your wrong

rockymountainsrule (May 28, 2009 at 10:57)

haha i love all the people who think that this is fake- every reason being more ridiculous than the last. sh*t makes my day haha

stuart0793 (May 28, 2009 at 15:36)

i think it could be fake because the "tree" beside the rider is clearly a weed and if it was a tree then the guy is like 3 times fatter than the tree trunk also he guys darker than everything else witch could indacate 2 seprate light sorces from 2 completly diffrent photos.
not saying its defo fake and etheir way i think it deserved the POD

P.S.the views and opinions (and bad spelling) expressed in this coment are not those of stuart0793, im his friend who has his password

ktmman143 (May 28, 2009 at 15:43)

its such an awesome shot and unique that im at a loss of words at just how cool it is, bravo guy, clearly one of the most exciting nice shots for a POD in maybe ever, or as long as i've been lookin on pinkbike

c2crider (Sep 15, 2011 at 17:33)

Absolutely incredible riding, Well done, I wish you'd video'd it (Not because im doubting it's real I must add) But it would be awesome to watch!

revellboi (May 7, 2009 at 12:37)

Bikingboy132 (May 28, 2009 at 12:47)

Definately NOT photoshopped

backyardbiker (May 28, 2009 at 13:03)

Is there a video of this cause that would be epic!

Matt92 (May 28, 2009 at 13:47)

Lol, if it is real (which it problably isnt), what is the point than of only taking a picture, if he would've done this, there would shorly have been some sort of recording of it.

You dont do this once in a lifetime and only take 1 photo of the big thing....

Nais anyway

Mazekwon (May 29, 2009 at 7:24)

mayeb this isn't a once in a life time opportunity, maybe this is what he does on tuesdays?

griffrhys (May 28, 2009 at 3:03)

paul341 (May 28, 2009 at 3:11)

it is a fake because look at the size of the grass blades and the way the water is falling - theres no way its real

awesome stairs! watch out dude, slippery when wet

Klawsen (May 28, 2009 at 0:10)

you kids shouldn't say its photoshopped just cause you wouldn't have the ballz to ride it

Gpa970 (May 28, 2009 at 0:28)

fucking nuts!

steveissilly (May 28, 2009 at 0:39)

minifish, have you ever herd of BUSHES??? it's not 'giant' grass, there called bushes, and the water is falling as it should do (the whole water-fall is man made)and it is possibal if you'v got balls to spare! =P

monkeyboyjc (May 28, 2009 at 0:39)

its not photoshoped - if you zoom in on teh orriginal image you can tell picasaweb.google.be/nosewheely/ForPinkbike

buddhabiker (May 28, 2009 at 0:39)

minifish, that isnt grass, those are bloody trees you fool...

ryanl2519 (May 28, 2009 at 0:51)

looks sorta rideable, i say REAL

stp1-joseph (May 28, 2009 at 1:16) (Below Threshold)

I would ride that

etchy6 (May 28, 2009 at 1:26)

HAHAHAHA OMG OMG OMG it took me about 10 looks at the pic to find a rider, i was looking at it like wtf is this here as pod for there is nothing about biking, 5 mins later, still looking and 'oh, there he is' haha

gloryhp (May 28, 2009 at 1:59)

man thats pyscho...an xc lid and no pads just bare leg.

ridinfree0freeridin (May 28, 2009 at 2:09)

whats everyones problem with this photo, its def real, not shopped, 2bh i believe he rode the whole thing, but he could of just as easily walked there and just rolled on that one flat section for the photo, but grow up people, and give the photo and rider props, looks dope and fun 2 me

jacque-lucque (May 28, 2009 at 2:47)

Of course it's not Photoshopped. Although I couldn't ride it, it's just a series of pretty small drop off's... Not anything particularly ground breaking.

ru-the-ginger (May 28, 2009 at 2:57)

that is either one very very small man on a very very small bike, or it is a very big waterfall thingymajig. watever it is it deservs one very big POD!

jacque-lucque (May 28, 2009 at 3:11)

It's an overflow for a dam.

JamesGTBrown (May 28, 2009 at 5:01)

Not photoshopped just epic!

Ryder27 (May 28, 2009 at 5:08)

it's real check out the original pic, if you zoom in it all comes together picasaweb.google.be/nosewheely/ForPinkbike

ru-the-ginger (May 28, 2009 at 5:14)

who gives a flying f*ck?? it looks cool, it got POD now deal with it!!

matthew13sanderson (May 28, 2009 at 5:29)

i for one think that it is real

monkeyboyjc (May 28, 2009 at 5:42)

balfa7 (May 28, 2009 at 6:06)

whats your tire :O

RapidRob (May 28, 2009 at 6:12)

i'd like to try to ride this, then bust out the kayak when it flows hard!

doubledeuce (May 28, 2009 at 7:04)

Seems completely real and rideable to me....takes skill, but its doable.

reallybigmantis (May 28, 2009 at 2:38)

look again about those 10 foot drops. closer to 5 at most with big runouts. the cracks between the rocks are easily ridden and the water level is below the rocks, not about to sweep anything away. i'd ride that anytime. its amazing, but calm down. and there's no need to fake something which is not that insane.

nato (May 28, 2009 at 7:50)

Why? looks like he rode down some man made water fall staircase type thing with small drops to barely there landings. The water would make it interesting but that is all. SICK riding!

nato (May 28, 2009 at 8:07)

Hmmm, that is not where that reply was supposed to go. Wooops.

mcoleman (May 28, 2009 at 8:16)

I'll agree with that. Lots of people love to doubt and rip things apart. A bit of scepticism is good, but it easily goes too far.
I love trials, in its own right. But the skills learned have made me a much better rider/freerider for sure.
Your picture is truly wild! Most people wouldn't even think to ride that!
Thanks for sharing it.
Matt

thepunkhucker (May 28, 2009 at 13:33)

You're fucking right man! Trials rock and build some serious skills that makes you gain loads of speed on the trails! Rock on!

oneednewbike123 (May 28, 2009 at 22:05)

Holy sht that's sick!!! Looks lime a giant stair case, def a POD

beastbiker121 (May 28, 2009 at 22:05)

thats a fucking big ass waterfall or whatever the fuck it is holy shit haha

warhorsey (May 28, 2009 at 22:11)

videorc (May 28, 2009 at 8:33)

it looks fake, however i know its real!

JonahH1992 (May 28, 2009 at 9:14)

really i doubt its even been cropped or had the levels adjusted. stop bringing down a great pic.

Mazekwon (May 28, 2009 at 13:43)

If you think it's fake check this out

I hope you realize your wrong

adamant-8031 (May 28, 2009 at 21:03)

Ok, I want to believe its real, and when you zoom in on the photo, the riders pixels match perfectly fine with the surrounding pixels, but how does showing the pic on picasa prove anything different?

Mazekwon (May 29, 2009 at 7:13)

because you can see, that as you said "the pixels match PERFECT". There is no such thing as perfect in photoshop. teh rider is equally as focused as the rocks which means the lens used has the same focal length when shooting both, the chances of two things being shot at seperate places, maybe even with different camera's and lenses' and turning out the same is going to be pretty weird.

paul-thegr82k9 (Oct 28, 2009 at 13:21)

dude the "small sticks" are called Small logs, oh and zoom in and check out the "grass" its got leaves and branches... its most probably a man made waterfall(like this one?)

ITS NOT EDITED!

Augury (May 28, 2009 at 0:41)

not that is shopped

vagomate (May 28, 2009 at 4:21)

photoshop...
I'm wondering how can this cr*p be a pod. It's a shame.

rolto1822 (May 28, 2009 at 1:15) (Below Threshold)

I agree actually, zooming in on the photo which he uploaded to Picasa, you can see sticks at the bottom right corner of the photo!!
Also if we think at the probability for a minute; it is obviously man made, and for a start they would never bother making something that big, and secondly; they made it in the shape of steps... why would they do that if they weren't steps?? Sorry but this is so horribly fake, though I just wish it wasn't.

cyberhawk (May 28, 2009 at 1:28)

rolto is a 16 year old kid and should not be taken seriously

josh-y (May 28, 2009 at 1:32)

i hear somebody discovered these big sticks... called LOGS

cyberhawk (May 28, 2009 at 1:56)

ah just let him be josh.... quote: they would never bother making something that big "
waht about piramids stupid

or these days sky scrapers...
if anything is fake ....ITS YOU !

rolto1822 (May 28, 2009 at 3:22)

So let me get this straight, "cyberhawk" you feel I shouldn't, and can't be taken seriously, because i'm 16? Maybe i'm not the one who needs to grow up; age discrimination frankly doesn't cut it; I made my point and if you cared to look at the photo he linked to it's quite clear that it's not real. Pyramids were made primarily as burials for kings, but most Egyptologists also believe that the pyramids were meant to serve as tombs for the pharaohs. Sky scrapers have a purpose too; they are an efficient use of space in urban area's, and they provide work for thousands of people! What makes ME fake?? Also, "josh-y" if you look at the photo carefully (when zoomed in) you can see twigs poking through the cracks between the rocks, and also the "trees" next to the rider don't have sufficient trunk size to be able to support themselves, were they actually to be trees rather than small shrubs!

cyberhawk (May 28, 2009 at 3:37) (Below Threshold)

i wont generalize but damm some americans are really dumb..

adownhillerfromscotland (May 28, 2009 at 3:49)

haha the irony is amazing. cyberhawk, you just called rolto dumb yeh? and also american? thats a British flag!

rolto1822 (May 28, 2009 at 3:54)

Yup haha nice one, smart move there cyberhawk, plus you actually managed to use the American spelling of "generalize" so who's dumb?

cyberhawk (May 28, 2009 at 4:12) (Below Threshold)

you really think i am going to remember all the crap from every kid on pinkbike

if i open my dash its full of crap.. most of it by kids.. one crappy statement mingled in the other.. american or not your still a kid..

and dont give me crap about my spelling... go to school pubes..

rolto1822 (May 28, 2009 at 4:43)

ooh i'm a kid well done...
talking about crappy statements... "go to school pubes" right... maybe you should go to law school or something, THEN you could learn how to make good comebacks!

fullbug (May 28, 2009 at 6:30)

there's alot of people that are really dumb, just as many are ignorant. which one are you cyberhawk to engage and give a 16yr old crap? got no comebacks rolto just nominate cyber for today's DDB.

mushrooms (May 28, 2009 at 10:13)

rolto it may not have actually been made for bikes but not alll things are made for bikes but people stil ride them anyway

rolto1822 (May 28, 2009 at 10:27)

What are you on about? I think maybe you need to re-read what I have said!

mushrooms (May 28, 2009 at 12:27)

Well when i read it, where you put 'they would never bother making something that big' i thought u meant biker would never build somhing that big so thats why i said it might not actually be made for bikers (for a river or some thing like that) but bikers found it and said "Oh that looks like fun" and started doing it

rolto1822 (May 28, 2009 at 13:52)

Ah right

, no i say that because if it were to be real, it would be a giant, man made staircase, so they wouldn't make it that big because it would be useless as anything other than just to look at; which is one reason I think it's fake!

mushrooms (May 29, 2009 at 5:28)

fair enough lol
