Yes, that really is some excellent Photoshop technique...

Aye, lousy technique.

You can see the lines around him where they've cut him out

I don't think it was shopped, it was Pinkbike POD and would've been spotted, plus there are the three supporting pictures at the bottom.
I'm sure some will say he should've been mincing bolt upright through the corner to preserve the trail or whatever but I say it's great. AND he's not even using a DH tyre.

It's a friend of mine, no photoshopping done.
In fact i'm just off out for a play there now.

It may be because the picture has been resized smaller but look at the outline of his forearms

I'm not so convinced it's been shopped: It does look like some masking has been applied, but may have been just to adjust contrast/brightness etc.
I love that feeling of going round a berm and feeling your inside pedal scraping along the ground.

there's a local gravitational anomaly there then?

Digital photos just look a bit funny like that sometimes, especially if Photoshopped to sharpen.
I'm sure he hasn't been cut out and re-positioned though.

No, he's just going like $hit off a shovel so the G/scentrifugal force (I don't know which) is keeping him rubber side down

Men on internet forum in if-I-can't do-it-it-must-be-impossible shocker.
Look at his body position and relative compression of the fork.

Not 'shopped - there was a video with it... http://thisisheffield.co.uk/2011/02/05/rainy-day/

Looks 100% genuine to me, I suspect his bumhole puckered a little...

It is amazing what angles you can get when going fast.
Posted 1 year ago # -
it's probably down to the radically excellent geometry of the Ragley bike he's riding

thats what I call getting away with it...

I'd have just cut the corner

Just 'cos you couldn't do it, doesn't mean it cant be done, STW.
Cool photo.

being the one that shot the photo sequence, i can account for this being completely genuine and the file only ever made it into photoshop elements in order for it to be combined into this mini montage

Great upper body strength ......

looks right to me. envious!

Looks to me like front has tucked and he hasn't yet realised he's about to taste dirt...

But as is patently obvious from the three pictures below the main one, he made it out of the corner, and not even sketchily.

Jealousy is such an ugly trait.
Excellent riding, great shot. Definitely worthy of its POD status.

Brilliant! Judging by the lean angle he's pulling 1.5-2g around that berm.

Good riding, nice pic!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Right - I need to go out and give it a go now.
Notice how he drops his head right down towards the end to keep the weight over the front.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Noted. I haven't seen the video yet but from having seen others, I bet the bit when he's leaned over horizontal like that is just for the tiniest of flashes, a fragment of a second.

look at the outline of his forearms
Forearms in focus. Background not in focus. Mystery not present

Keep your horrible bumpy, rocky slow technical trails. You cannot beat the pure feeling of ragging a bike at high speed around a simple, maybe slightly banked corner.

nice riding, nice photo, ^ load of grumpy gits.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah great photo and awesome leanage
Posted 1 year ago # -
I've got a pic of a mate doing something similar at delamere, will dig it out
