lmao!!! What a dumb fuck!....I'd say he was asking for it....Not even enough gray matter to realize GLOVES might come in handy.....not that they'd do him any good in this case. I'd like to see the look on his face about a second after that pic was taken! Looks like his dress might have got in his way

I believe he could of saved it if he would have just applied a little more throttle.
I personally like his custom helmet that looks like a ball cap.

...just goes to show that in the squidracer's never-ending quest to lighten up his bike, too damn much helium gas in the tires left a most undesirable result...sure, you can have mega-gobs of horsepower, but if ya ' can't hook up........

u know what, i'm thinking that may be a bit of photoshop. i can't imagine the physics that would get the bike into that position. i call bs. tho the look on his face is pretty damn convincing!

I'm thinking it is a legitimate loop over. For his sake hopefully he push the bike off enough for its momentum to carry the bike clear! The guy appears to be concentrating but not paniced!

...you know what, frEEK?...I think you may be right...look at the guy standing in the gray sweatshirt on the left side of the rear tire with the clown pants...what happened to the rest of head????...and just what is that 'grid-work-looking thing above his head and between the trees?...the conveniently out of focus trees???

...and why are there flat spots on the bottom portion of the rear tire where its outlined against the background???...I know round...donuts are round...and the tire is not round like a donut....

If it is photo shopped the CIA must have done it. Look at the shaddow of the bike on the pavement. Your observation about the guys head missing is a good one though.

...the rear tire almost comes to a point at its epoch...(is that the correct term?)...look at the rear tire on the right side as its backdropped by the trees...peculiar flat spot, eh?

well, i agree it's a helluva job if it was photoshopped. the missing head thing i jsut attributed to someone not wanting their face seen, tho i dont se why not since the rest are quite unobscured. what bothered me more is the irregular tire shape nano mentions. and why cant u see his right hand at all? i knwo its in teh shade, but seems like something is missing. the focus seems a _touch_ inconsistent in places too. but i COULD be convinced that it's all ok. the thing that botheres me most is still the physics of it all. it it's a simple backwards flip, why would the tail end get so high off the ground, and how the HELL could he still be holdin on? if nothing, his hand should be knocked off by the clutch lever by now cause he's run thru so many degrees on teh grip. but yeah, it _could_ be real, and if its not, kudos to whoever put the pic together, cause it's pretty killer!

The flt spot is there but then these stunt guys do some weird shit like huge long rear wheel skids that could cause the flat spot. I don't know if you have seen one of these shows up close but the bikes are and equipment are beat to shit. The bikes couldn't pass a legitimate tech inspection. Crushed tanks, worn out tires, sprockets and chains thrashed you name it. But for the guys sake I hope it is a photo shopped picture. I watched the guys perform in Portland last September and saw a guy break his leg horribly. What a tuff way to make a living.

...and the MR.T starter chain-set around his neck should be hanging back against his throat and towards the tarmac, no?...
...looks more like a stoppie about to go wrong and photo-shopped upside-down on a subject-clear track photo...

It's not photoshoped. See that guy in the background with the red shirt and video camera? I found his video...
link to video
My stuntin buddies are telling me that the word on the street is that his clutch cable broke. Apparently, it happened at a contest in Florida last weekend.

...meaning???
...anyway, the more I study this pic (cuz' I don't have a life at this moment ) the more peculiar the bike, the headless man, the video man, and the backwads black ballcap man all look...they're too sharp and in-focus compared to the rest of the people and background...

OK, it'd definately the real deal, just watched the video. But I listened to it carefully, and could swear I could detect a second gunman.
