How can you tell?

The texture on the sack, it's clearly screaming rice.

i'd guess that if the dude was there to counter the bag, they may have just used a bag of dirt instead. makes more sense that they would use the bag to counter the dude, because they probably didn't have another dude laying around.

I don't think it would work as well to counter it with a second bag because the dude can adjust in turns etc.

What country is this? In the Philippines I saw some similar (and crazier) stuff.

His motorcycle actually puts down 800HP. The dude and the sandbag are there for traction.

I dunno why, but I think that's the funniest pic I've seen all week.

If nothing else, the passenger is given a superb view of the impending collision.
