This is my mate 'Bains' - not ridden with him for a while, but he was always a notch above everyone else and he didn't even try - true natural. He's done a few roadtrips and last I heard he was nailing his backflips off natural features out in the woods........
where is his right leg? ^^
He's actually an amputee, not sure if that makes his berm riding more or less impressive
right left turns present more of a problem, then.
that rainy day was much greasier than the fortunate conditions we had when the photo was taken.. consistently lower cornering was achievable 
anyhow here's a few 100% screengrabs to put minds at rest.

An excellent illustration of why its good technique to have the outside pedal lower during cornering 
On that. Hmmm. On most corners I keep my outside pedal cocked at about 2 o'clock, with both legs heavily bent. Pedal all the way down is for extreme cornering where I'm not sure if I'm going to make it otherwise. But the more your pedal is down the more your legs are locked out and the less you can pump the trail for speed. So pedal down is inherently defensive. Not the fastest way to get round your average flowy singletrack corner.
class riding..
shame about the Photoshop negs.
LOL @ those that said 'shopped.
3 things about the vid:-
1. I'm extremely impressed at the 'self-returning' Mmmbop @ around 25 seconds
2. Top fun and skillz in the mud
3. My thoughts go out to their Mums with the washing
Amazing pic!
Why all the negativity...?
welcome to singletrack world 
my Nan was pulling G's like that before the war on her 1924 Swift Cheylesmore Ladies 'All Weather' Bicycle..
@ woody, all our own washing at uni unfortunately.
I'll retract my original photoshop jibe and attribute it to my crappy work laptop and monitor. Looking at it on that, the outlines of his arms were very jaggy and looked as though he'd been crudely cut and pasted.
Looks much better on my home PC.

You got your brakes on the right way round this time. 
Great picture though.
