Selected by Scott Secco - Sterling Lorence captured the definitive nug from Brandon Semenuk's iconic One Shot segment. Who wouldn't want to ride like Brandon down this trail?
Brandon is a phenomenal rider but I don't think this should be pic of the year for that reason alone. I think there are better photos out there. But it comes down to personal preference.
Outstanding rider, unquestionable technical skill both from the rider and photographer, beautiful scenery...at the same time it seems like something we've all seen before, and doesn't capture a unique feeling or perspective on mountain biking. POD or POM maybe. Personal preference.
What! This guy cant even ride a bike properly, doesnt he know your supposed to be at the top and the bike at the bottom? Not to mention he isnt even on the floor. Hee hee i think im a bit jealous.
This is a great picture, and Sterling Lorence is an amazing photographer. But aren't 95% of his pictures VOD worthy? How's about someone who doesn't do it for a living? And no, I don't submit or take pictures so I have absolutely no basis for this opinion.
That whole segment is really misleading. There actually is NO good riding in Cambria. It's a shame really. But don't load up and bike and come here looking for good trails, you'll be disappointed.
