And there were a predictable number of calls of ‘Photoshop!’ and ‘Fake!’ from many people all over the Interwebs. We knew it wasn’t faked but who takes our word for anything? Anyway, as you would expect from Red Bull, they filmed the entire photoshoot and they’ve put the final edit on their website here along with a description of how it was done.

So you see, it was real. All it takes is a very long lens, a remote flash unit, an extremely rare astronomical event… oh, and the shutter skills of a top pro photographer.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
