I'm undecided if it's a fake or not, there seems to be a lot of people thinking its a fake.

What does the STW Massiv thinks!?

That's a repost of the original by a different user. The original description talks about location, and testing home made studded tyres so adds to credibility. This user is just looking for hits.

Also, GoPro lens has a fisheye which is very deceptive. Not saying it's not steep, but I've seen someone else ski movie that makes something I skied look like it's vertical, when it was only bloody steep.

For me it looks quite real... Here in our office, I'm the only one that thinks its probably real, and apparently a lot of the comments on YT and in the papers think its fake..

More I watch it, more I think its real.

It's fake, no snow is thrown up by the front wheel and the helmet doesn't move once... 😛

This.

Still impressive, but the camera exaggerates the drop offs.

I filmed some pole camera footage when skiing last week. Everyone keeps asking how I kept my hand so still. Probably because the camera was attached directly to it!?

three fish - exactly - camera is attached to lid, therefore lid never moves..

Looks real to me, mental, but real.

Looks real the trail he is ridng looks actually well used. There is a distinct u shape from wear from other users noticably in the snow but also in the first shots without snow.

Though do believe the sides ar not that bad a bit exagerrated by camera lense.

Seems real to me and not un-beliveable. I used to ride MX / Enduro / Trail a lot and they are not too different to mtb,s. Sometimes having an engine made it eaiser to ride up daft things.

Riding in snow was a hoot. Giant roosts of powder...........mmmmm lovely fun.
