i would believe that the top one (aaron reed one) was photoshopped. It looks like it if you look closely at the edges (especially on the board) but it might not be. hes definately not going wake to wake doing a bs shifty or whatever, you can see the other wake on the other side of the rail, unless he was doing it over the rail....highly doubtful. Another theory may be that he is in the air from going off a kicker, thats off screen? Who knows, but whatever hes doing, hes not doing a "toepress" on the rail which doesnt even exist and if it did would have sketchbag written all over it. He also just might be slipping off the rail like many people have already said.

he is doing a bs shifty of the sea doo wake. the sea doo goes close along the rail so people riding can hit the rail. he didnt hit it and instead did a shifty. the photo was shot at the right moment so it almost looks as if he is on the rail, but he is not. the photo is not photoshoped.

jaybird is right. that shot is from cranes roost park during the first stop of the pro tour and if i recall correctly, i don't think reed fell off the side of it (if he did that'd be almost impossible to come out of that back lip if it were said trick). that and look at the spray coming off of his board...

Its not photshopped, the water shaddow and everything with the rail looks tooo good. im going with electricsnow, hes slipping out or coming on at a funky angle.

Now I'm not trying to sound like a badass or anything, but I know who Jason Lee is (the photographer), and I'm sure that he would not photoshop his pics or anything like that. I'm pretty positive that Reed is just doing a backside shifty, not a mobbed back lip and coming off early.

Jason used to have nice little website with some of his photos, I'll ask around if anyone's interested in seeing them.

if your dad was on the rail, he would have to be a giant, look how big he is compared the the rail, hed have to be huge.

And that picture must have been from a long time ago, had he been riding for 6 months then, cuz that picture was from like over a year ago.

cuz that kicker hasn't been there in a long time has it, cuz when they built the picnic table they put that there, and wasn't the dragon even there before the picnic table. Did they put the kicker back in for a while or somethin
