Why do you say this photo is fake? My dad used to take me for rides just like this. One of his favorite stories to tell is about having to toss me off as it was going to fall over, and how I was having a blast, but my mother was not nearly so excited. I was around two at the time.

Because his foot is on the ground behind the front wheel, and the footrest empty.

Have you never ridden a dirtbike at all?

So, you're saying this video is fake too? Because his foot is clearly on the ground behind the front wheel.

You must not be a rider. Extending the inside foot in a turn is very common.

I would not say having the inside foot off the peg and held forward in this situation is an indicator of the photo being fake, seeing as it's a common behaviour when riding dirt bikes.
