I personally think it's a probability he biked it down- extreme moutain biking's filled with all sorts of adrenalin junkies.. This example though would be at the more extreme end of extreme I suppose. Another example of scary would be hurtling down a very very long upward going escalator (Mincom Building, Brisbane CBD- John, you'd know where wouldn't ya?) which a mate of mine was lucky enough to witness. About the shot, if anything at all, I think the photog made the stairs look a bit shorter (read: steeper) than they actually were. Still.. looks good!
