jhowlett, yes, his bar is on the ground, and there is dust in the air behind him because he isnt moving.... fuck some people...
sick picture, thats low!
Are you people serious. Would it even be possible to hold that position standing still? There is debris flying up behind him, and it's clear that his front tire is spinning. This photo is obviously real. The trees in the background prove it hasn't been rotated. PB is so crazy.
you cant tell if the wheel is spinning as firstly its taken with 1/800th so if it is real it wouldnt be blurry. there is no dust behind him. the tire isnt compressed at all to equal the amount of compression from the forks but i will admit i still find the the fork compression hard to explain.
look at the shadow of the wheel and the lighting. shits real i took a shot of my brother getting pretty damn low too. its not impossible, check it out. www.pinkbike.com/photo/5272628
why would anyone fake it? its obviously real, who goes out buys a downhill bike and gear but cant ride it, and is that bad to fake it? just doesn't make sense at all obviously its real because letting the air out of the forks and attempting to sit sideways for long enough to get the perfect looking railed berm... what i call this is true riding, great pod
definitely saw it and was like whoaa,sick...kept looking atit and was like ...ohh, how? fake?....continued thinking definitely is realy boys i mean common. obviously looks like that front fires gunna slide right out but if hes pinned which i believe he is anythings possible lol yall should know crazy shit happens
That's sick! I understand how people question whether something is fake if it's beyond what they can imagine, but I've seen and shot people riding out of way crazier looking situations, roost coming off the bar end and all... This is a great photo of a solid rider, let it be that...
haha, I'm not saying he didn't crash, but he's definitely not balancing there, and I like to trust that photographers don't post "posed" shots. Jumphilo has taken some good shots and Bonchu is a pretty sick DH'er, I'd hate to think that they "posed" a sick shot....
Hes either falling or it is fake, his front wheel is too sideways to gain enough traction to right itself, so hes just about to fall. Pretty amazing shot though, i wish he made it.
Im going to have to call this fake for a few reasons; there is no stress on the tire, almost looks like a zip-tie on the fork to hold it compressed, cant see his bar end, front tire is turned to much for the corner and to far down on the burm, and the rider isnt even really looking in the direction he wants to be going. Neg prop me, i really dont care but i would call this fake.
thats realy, you can actually see everything out in the open. you must have alot of speed in that corner because it looks like a decent sized berm, but you have a camera on, where is the video?
It seems to be real guys...if you guys download the picture and open it in Wordpad then nothing about Adobe or something appears just the date and camera which is: Camera: Canon Eos 5D Mark 2 Date: 2010:08:13 Time: 15:09:11
There is some info about HP but its all about the colors
i agree with intense111 look at the angle of the front wheel, at the speed u would need to get that low you wudn't be able turn that tight without washing out IMO
damnn thats low! sick POD but I rekon he crashed after that, look at where his front wheel is, looks to me like he's about to meet the floor with his face.
thats cool in all but thats not how to take a corner... you lean your bike in and keep you body up right as much as possible to keep balenced, stay on your center of gravity, and not spin out when you come out of the turn
i hate it when people think shit is fake! your just fooking jealous! it takes loads a skill and big balls to do stuff like this! give the guy the respect he deserves.
i dont know hard to tell but look at the forks on the top side there is some random peice of white and the tire in the back disapered of the rim i am saying photoshop the is no stress in the tire or the dirt neg prop but it is fake
ahh yeah your right, jumphilio had uploaded like 4 or 5 of these pics i assumed it was the same rider, but now that you point it out, its not, hahaha. these pics arent fake anyways, none of his photos are. i dont know why people cant be happy that others out there are shredding. plain and simple
props to the photographer and the rider, no fake, that is pure speed and focus ++++++ all the way pod great job m8, and great job to the rider sweet..*)
