POD Photo of the Day on Jul 4, 2015

Selected by Tyler Maine - I picture myself riding in this train of riders, looking ahead at the lake and picturing a cold bevy and a warm BBQ waiting. This is what dreams are made of.

Don't listen to Yt-hater Matt! Sick photo. Makes me want to go ride right now. POD!

Hater?i Must have missed something

Yeah! Matt, I love looking at trails and different region's ecosystems. So I really love seeing pictures like this that display the location and the trail running through it.

It's really nice one. I like the transition from dark to light - from near to far. I would only cut the tree on the left, it would be more balanced for my eye. Maybe square format could work well for this photo.

The entire point of these pics for me is that they inspire me to get out and ride, this photo nails that aspect and so for me personally it's a great choice.

Only wish I was into biking the last two times I visited New Zealand :-(

Love it @mattwragg

Very tempted to make my already light wallet even lighter and get another trail bike. And i'm holding you responsible

This is amazing. Where/how can I get a full-resolution option?

I need a new wallpaper!!

Heck yeah so glad I live in NZ

cmi85 (Jul 31, 2015 at 10:07)

Anyone? Anyone with a full-resolution link w/o stupid PB branding that I can use for a 27" monitor wallpaper?

Seriously,there are way better pics.matt wragg your photos are cool but this one not pod worthy in my honest opinion

damjandamjan (Jul 4, 2015 at 0:38)

I think it's a great picture. The slow transition fomr the darkness of the forest to the gleaming open is just superb.

Yt-shredder (Jul 4, 2015 at 0:53)

I know,its a nice pic but i think there are Even better ones

Tyler selected this one from my shots - I don't pick my own shots for POD, and while I'd admit that it's not my personal favourite from that album, that's the whole point of him picking PODs, he has different tastes to me. Mainly I'm just stoked to bag a POD.

danielstutt (Jul 4, 2015 at 1:34)

This is totally worthy of POD because it makes you want to go and ride.

Yt-shredder (Jul 4, 2015 at 2:39)

@mattwragg i know that you dont pick your own pics as pods and all your photos are cool but as you Said there are better ones,but you just said it,everybody has its own taste
