It is enhanced AI I believe from a real picture. This man exists and has been interviewed by Weege in the past couple of years. I went looking for the interview a week ago and couldn't find it.

Yeah someone posted the real guy in the thread. So glad we have Ai to make real life people look worse and fake for no reason.

Here are two of my favorite photos I took in the last 20 years, Chad and Jeremy from Phoenix in 2005 and Jett at Unadilla last summer.

Suicide Mountain, Saddleback. One of the first ‘extreme’ jumps in the sport’s history.

David Bailey in the pic on his RC500.  Jeff Ward and Johnny O'Mara hit it on a 125; Ward in 1983 and Johnny in 1984 respectively. The only 125 guys to hit it.  

Btw, the lip in the background is not the launch, but the second jump in a triple.

But on a serious note, yeah, we're doomed. Was only having this conversation with some colleagues yesterday.

Tim Ferry 2003 Matthes At Anaheim

Mav - I think this is 03 based on the graphics and number font. Is anyone able to nail down what races Red Dog did on a two stroke in 03? He for sure was on the four stroke at A1 and Salt Lake

It's from 2003. I have some more pictures from '03, so I'll take a look later. From memory, most of the pictures I have he's on the 2T. I don't think I have any of him on the 4T. 

I don't think I have one from every round, but I'll list what I have.

Well, SOL. I thought I had more pictures from 2003 than what I have. I only have a few and they're all from Anaheim. They had 3 Anaheim's back then, so I don't know if they're from A1, A2 or A3. 

The pic of Matthes is from one of the Anaheim races.

He occasionally posts. Maybe he'll chime in.

This was my first sx race, year before I saw him win the 22 outdoor title, and got sprayed with champagne by Ando. I’d say that was a great race and an even greater first race.

I attended every race of the Trans/USA that year. Stayed in Beaver Falls, Pa. at George Quay’s Keystone Motocross. Traveled with Andy Stacy and Jeff Hicks. One of my photos at Road Atlanta

That is awesome! I have some great pics from that day, but they are slides. If I ever get around to converting them I will post them.

This one is epic but how about the original wall jump from 2011? Did anyone get a high quality photo of that one? Stew did a lot of crazy lines but that one has to be top 3. 2 seconds a lap faster 😲
