Assuming that isn't a well photoshopped ruse, it still doesn't rule out the possibility that he split plies or otherwise permanently damaged his board. My statement was that no board could flex like that from normal use without undergoing damage and that the photos in the OP's post were caused by rolling shutter (as evidenced by his admission of using a cell phone camera as well as the obvious distortion of his foot)
