Is that Jays?
Jays xmas tree when posing is prettier.
Although it isn't great in this photo, Gaspari had a good Xmas tree. But flex was I think the best.

dude, I think any pic of him looks better on stage, lol. There's gotta be tons of pics of Dave doin back shots, they're his best. If anything I think he's even sharper from the back than from the front. It's like he's got snakes under his skin!

i think some here are misunderstanding what a christmas tree actually is. it's an extremely striated lower back, not lats. Flex Wheeler had a very weak christmas tree, compared to shawn ray in that pic.

Not as shredded but pretty festive.
