I've seen this picture a long, long time ago, and yes, it is staged.

[–]vroomMuphin 4 points5 points ago

What is a long, long time for you?

Because hes got a go-pro on his helmet. Those things are only 7 years old max.

[–]JereHakala 11 points12 points ago

A year month week day on the internet is long, long time.

[–]Back--Fire 3 points4 points ago

Most probably 6 months or so, but as said below, internet time goes very fast.

[–]pburn883 3 points4 points ago

6 months? thats like 40 internet years..... For reference OAG is only a couple months old.... and that meme seems ancient

[–]Chisel_me_timbers 9 points10 points ago

Must be really difficult to ride downhill without the wheels turning. No wonder he fell off.

[–]King_Rafiki 7 points8 points ago

It looks like he has a tiny helmet on his helmet.

[–]Mad_broccoli 5 points6 points ago

This was actually one of the top posts ever on r/mtb, just few months ago.

EDIT: My mistake, it's the top post ever.
