haha thats what it looks like until your front tire leaves the drop. you can't see the landing at all. it wasn't a big drop but it sketched you out since you also had to gap over about 6 feet of rocks.
yeah they were in a perfect arch shape. when you were standing on the little hill at the start (for the roll-in), all you could see was this arch, then the Bay and Blue outline of land and the drop.
no thats the original. the guy who was taking the picture is a professional photographer, his camera was on drugs and he had separate flashes set up. looks really edited though.
