Boy, 16, cycles across 75ft deep lake in gravity-defying stunt ... but won't explain how he did it



This is clearly the work of Photoshop, but it looks kool just the same.

1. Sure it is photo shopped? The Russian Army use bridges below river level

The Russians developed the Concept during WWII, you hide the bridge in plan view, just inches below the water level of the river. You drive on it like any other bridge, but no one can see it from above.

Just pointing out that may be what is going on here, someone is riding on a road bed that is mere inches below the surface, thus looks like he is riding on water no land.

One last comment, what is below his right peddle? Could it be a POST that the peddle is FIXED TO? Could the bike be balanced on that PEDDLE so that it LOOKS like the rider is riding the bike, but all he is doing is SITTING on the bike that is other wise rigid. i.e. The right peddle is FIXED to a POST, the whole Front Peddle system is one SOLID piece of metal NOT designed to rotate at all. The right peddle is always DOWN, the left peddle is always UP. That, by itself would support a man's weight (If probably connected to the post) so that the bike can NOT move at all. You thus get a rider on a bike on the water amd someone else takes the picture. Thus it is a REAL PICTURE NOT PHOTO-SHOPPED, but fake anyway. Sorry, looks faked, but also looks like it is NOT photo-shopped (Look at the reflection on the water, most photo shopped picture do not do such reflection that good, but there is also something WRONG with the Reflection, it the bike is really a bike in Motion, which I do NOT think it was).

Just pointing out this may NOT be photo shopped, but a fake pose instead.
