Picture of the Month is an article showcasing the best Pictures of the Day from the month before. We take the most viewed photos from the previous month, and pick our favorites out of the top 10.<br><br>This months number one spot is unsurprisingly a shot of someone about to crash. Not sure exactly what it is about tragedy but everyone loves a good wreck, or one about to happen. Even more so than a really great riding image most of the time it seems. The number two spot is a bit of a surprise, not because it's not a great photo, but I just didn't expect it to do as well as it did. Perhaps everyone was just trying to figure out what it was, but whatever the reason it got a lot of views. I really like it just for the fact that it is something that we would all drive by and look at and talk about but never actually ride. And Bafus went out and rode it. The rest of the images are just a good assortment of solid riding shots, well timed, well executed, and solid action...

We have been on a photoshoot roadtrip for ION Bike and Canyon in Switzerland and France. On our first stop in St. Moritz we found this new track which was not even finished yet. But we took the chance to rock it and take some of the first shots on it. Unfortunately I forgot to change my bike set up from superlight XC rims and tires to my Enduro set up. I had also way too low tire pressure when i hit this berm at full speed. So my tire slipped of the rim and i crashed. Luckily the rim did not get demaged so I changed the tube puped it up properly and at last for the rest of the week without any problems. Here a slideshow with all other pics Markus Greber took on this Trip http www.youtube.com watch v UE 8FuKkvOM amp list PLVtfi70OYuQT4KnCfV3dYaHPJddayclP0 amp index 14 amp feature plcp

 It's the best pic of a super-flip I've ever seen. Timing is perfect, and the rider has got that trick dialed.
