First off No-one said "F*ucking epic" I said epic And if you do look epic up in the dictionary you'll find that it says "very imposing or impressive; surpassing the ordinary (especially in size or scale); "an epic voyage"; "of heroic proportions"; "heroic sculpture"" Which funilly enough makes sence to me
bougs, as sugested i visited dictionary.com and found amoung the definitions relating it to poetry this:
epic
adjective 1. very imposing or impressive; surpassing the ordinary (especially in size or scale); "an epic voyage"; "of heroic proportions"; "heroic sculpture" 2. constituting or having to do with or suggestive of a literary epic; "epic tradition"
This picture is very imposing and impressive, and the whip is surpassing the ordinary, therefore i deem it to be epic
This is to BOUGS: epic, epic, epic, epic, epic, epic, epic, epic, epic, epic, epic. By the if you know what Faith no More is, try to listen to a music called "Epic"
haha reading some of these comments. lol. people saying this jump is piss or along these lines. i went up today and was scared to hit it,its that big but the locals make it look soooo smooth
It's a whip, if it was a 3 his bike would be heading the same direction as his head is facing.
Such a dope shot though, I would even say, EPIC. Amazing photography for sure.
lol none of us could even hit that jump so seriously dont bs us , this is a huge jump and a sick whip this guy is prob pro or close and just because jumps are bigger doesnt mean they are easier to whip
The only people who i have seen do something similar to this is Jimmy Pratt or Olly Wilkins.. Look at the Results of Vienna Air..Sam Came 7th, i doubt dhbiker12 could beat that!
and DHR54 who ever the hell you think you are i never said my whips were better then anyones i said that other guys are deff not nicer then this pic so mind your own business
ok shit you are really starting to piss me i dont even fucking care any more i just love how cocky you are and think you are better then sam fucking reynolds at whips !!! and you are on both accounts or what either way shut up and stop comparinjg your self to pros
Sorry this Reply is so late, i was just going through the comments. Its shot with a 50mm f1.8 and i think shot at around 1.8 so that makes it super sharp. it has a little contrast on it, but not much. mainly good flash placement. One flash to the right, of the lip and one in the middle of the jump on the left. Its not one hell of a camear, Its a Nikon D70, which is one of the worst and oldest nikons you can buy..
I don't think it matters if he's not got a brain bucket... its still picture-of-the-day, meaning that as long as its an awesome picture, who cares. I sure hope he's wearing one though.
I must say I agree with murga, even if it isnt photoshopped, it bloody well looks it. Look at the wheels and front end of the bike, its not right, the whole picture is clear except the biker. The bike looks like its been sharpened with photoshop.
Alright, Keep your hair on, At the same time as shooting this picture, i got a mate to shoot with my video camera, you can even see the flash's going off: www.pinkbike.com/video/73818
