I know JonFaure I was simply saying that when I first looked at it I thought no POD, but the sheer age of the photo alone will get it POD no doubt!!! Your Great Great Grandpa was a pioneer dude!!!
Mate nice pic but if you look really close at the rider and front wheel it looks abit like its been photoshopped in or it just could be blurry , just a thought , nice pic though
not just the helmets, but the shoes, the skinnys/maybe, the shaddows of the other bikes, the poorly photoshoped buildings in the back ground, its not really hard to tell
its fake, look at the shadows, you can tell by the handel bars in them, and if they were on the real big bikes you would see the shadow of the wheels, and the shadows would be way bigger.
Ok Ok Ok Here is the real scoop. This was something my son did when he was 12. I had taken a photo of him at our local djs. He photoshopped out his bike and replaced it with this one. He also took out the condos in the background and put old houses, took out my truck that was parked on the road and put in a horse and carrage. He also took out the shadow of me holding up a camera.
You guys are so dumb....the background is photoshopped in and so is the bike...Its an Obvious joke..and a good one at that.....I like the picture its kickin it "oldschool" lol
Dude.. i dont care if its photoshopped.. he's wearing a lid though. But.. i like it.. infact i love it. Wish this grand daddy was riding my design... check it out www.pinkbike.com/photo/3859879
Oh, so you have heard of the great Andre Faure. He is a legend and was way advanced in the sport of dirt jumping for his time. I'm pretty sure he invented the "ET" and that's where Steven Spielberg got the idea for the movie.
Ha Ha! What's funny is I actually have a bell on my bike as a joke! I use it at the skate park when it gets crowded. I also use it at the djs. What's better than a sick table? ....A sick table with a "dinggggg" in the middle of it! lol
this is shopped i think, but is still an intriguing picture - The bikes in the shadows have riser bars, these weren't around then - penny farthings were also fixed gear, so jumping them would've been pretty damned hard!
its not hard to tell its fake, exaple- the shaddows of the other bikers, the bucket helmets, and its just to dam easy to tell that the buildings are edited!!!.
thats not real look at the size of his legs to his body and how the hell are you ment to get biketo ride on the dirt and even go up a jump?! and when he lands the front wheel will snap or bend. i think its fake!
