Ouch. I'm gonna go with a Photoshop though. He looks too relaxed considering... Plus, the way the front end looks I can't imagine it failing like that in a stoppie unless there was previous undetected damage, ie, a salvage title bike. |

I dunno man. It looks real to me(the first pic) as you can see the oil pukin outta the bottom of the fork and the guys mouth is a the the beginning of an OMFG. Im glad to see he was wearin his snell approved bandana on his head. Ya cant be too carfull you know... Those other two pics look pretty painfull as well. The guy on the yellow bike has the most excellent form, notice how he( a perfect gentleman) lets the bike go first into the pavement. The guy with the green front rim has his right knee in the classic "save my nuts" position. Excellent form as well. Im glad to see him wearing a full coverage baseball cap(kevlar reinforced no doubt)to proctect his cranium. |

that pic is real. it happens when rebuilding the forks, tightening up stuff waay over torqued it. creates too much stress on the forks and whalla, thats what you get.. |

Look at the tip of Busa Boy's left foot! It looks like the top of his shoe is peeling back from sliding on the asphalt. Whatever's going on there it doesn't look right. |

Tourist trophy is not very accurate sometimes. The torso stays straighter. DAMHIK.

The first photo has been around for a number of years. It was dismissed as a photoshop job. Still interesting though |

Thanks for the aftermath pics. The one of Jerimiah is the schnizzle. Do kids still say that? You can go from cool to fool in the blink of an eye these days. Jerimiah knows... |
