Reports said that Lorenzo saw his house from that highside.

The first "high side" picture is part of a series that some photographer took somewhere in Asia.
The photographer noticed that there was an object hidden in a large puddle and bikers kept hitting it. He sat in wait and took pictures of people as they approached, he got a perfect series of that guy coming up and going over the handle bars, eating shit big time. If I recall correctly he actually got in trouble with the authorities for taking the pictures and I believe publishing them. Edit: I have no idea how to find the photos but I want to say it was in an AP article I read a while ago. Last edited by Quick281; 11-05-2008 at 10:48 PM.. |
