I feel exactly the same, dude. Amazing shot.

paniccomp (Dec 27, 2007 at 8:05)

I wish my local trails were that epic

pinnr (Dec 27, 2007 at 11:01)

Thats what I love about XC, you've always got some eye candy on any trail. And whats up with everyone using "Epic" now?! Pick up a dictionary and expand your vocabularies kiddies!

nice sceanery but kinda lame no action, IMO not pod

sam111 (Dec 28, 2007 at 15:23)

Yeah pretty much sums up all of your pics.

Tobs (Jul 22, 2008 at 2:39)

I defiantley agree. The only word you can use is Epic. This picture is the definition of epic!

It's a thesaurus that you want to pick up, not a dictionary. Smile

wow, thats beautiful... photos like this capture the real essence of XC riding, that and having to work to get to a point where nothing else on the planet matters, almost like you have reached some sort of nervana. you can feel your muscles strain, your body is just about to give out, then you look up from your bike and you see this, you're whole body is at peace with the world and mother nature... almost brings tears to my eyes

radek Mod Plus (Dec 27, 2007 at 22:12)

jamburger (Dec 27, 2007 at 3:22)

these days, choices for POD's give great part to quality of light, scenery, climax... and this one isn't an exception... beautiful.
Congrats to raked and crew for choices... and to sam111 for his dad's eye.
