i dunno about pod its not very clear, and i would like it better if you had your wheel turned to the right so it doesnt look like your gonna land in that same position!!! but still, nice whip and good job for making pod!

bike person - no no no, turning the front wheel towards the landing is a rookie move. you want to turn it the other way to get it all out of shape, sideways motoX style - I agree that it is a bit unfocused though. Nice shot otherwise.

raak, you might wanna explain why everyone who does whips, even pros, turn there wheel to the landing at the last second, they dont turn it away, yea you turn it the other way at the start but to get it back racer style your supposed to turn the front wheel back to the landing

haha, maybe theres a subliminal message here or something, the forest being in focus and the rider being somewhat in the background and out of focus.. i reckon its a damn good photo if you look at it that way. Wink

hey all- thanks for the props! I'd just like to let everyone know that the picture isn't actually blurry, it just turned out that way thanks to the compression it goes through getting onto this website. The version I have here on my computer is very crisp compared to this.

Good whip man but i agree, not POD worthy, bad angle and personally, a tip for future, try to lean it over to the left man just a toutch, it gives way more style..

flag amybot (Sep 27, 2007 at 14:24) (Below Threshold) show comment
I don't understand how it's a bad angle... has anyone heard of the rule of thirds and depth of field? Or would you like all biking shots to have the rider right in the center of the shot? Personally I don't. That's so against the law of all things photo, therefore I avoid it at all costs.

flag jonnyintern (Sep 27, 2007 at 15:29)
this is not a moto whip, i didnt get the back end up like i would for a moto whip, this is just a whip, just bringing the back of the bike forwards, to go sideways, then trying to tuck it up underneath me... if it was meant to be a moto whip, id have dropped the front of my bike ad really pulled the back wheel up and around to the side..... subtle differences my friend.
