Nice. This photo has the quality and riding to get POD unlike a lot of the stuff posted on here recently. I'm starting to think that the recent POD's are really going down hill and not in the fun way. I'd be happy to see this as POD.

that is an amazing pic., great bike, and Its cool because I have never seen a close-up of a bike being bottomed like that!

trickn0l0gy... you're dumb... his fork has MAYBE 2 or 3 inches left before he bottoms... think before you talk

we are talking rear shock hear brosif. We know 40's are the shit and that they are bottomless, come on, get with it =)

trickn0l0gy- if your nipples are in front of your bars in a berm like that, you are sacrificing a lot of speed, but if you are good enough to critique a yeti/fox factory rider's setup, don't listen to me or anyone on pinkbike

if your nippels are in front of your bars in a corner you can't steer and then crash!! also it looks totally gay.. but maybe he's drunken, when he critizes the riding of justin leov..

trickn0l0gy, you don't seem to know alot about fox 40's. let me explain, you see, the lower crown of the fox 40 is flat, not curved, so if you totally bottom the fork out, the front wheel would hit it, and thus, send you flying. so you have to set the forks up properly, so that they don't totally bottom, to avert disaster

leov runs his fork at 7 inches of travel. he has to run it stiff so he doesn't bottom it all the time.

OMFG, 289 idiots didn't get the irony about that "nipples in front of the handlebar". of course that wasn't meant literally. better luck next time.

Tricknology, the suspension fork is only suposed to have roughly 20% sag where the rear shock is close to double that. It's not completly a matter of his weight, just how the bike is set up.

plus the rear travel isn't fully bottomed out. The spring is fully compressed but there is still a lil way to go on the rails

maybe... he's squaring off out of the turn, so the front isn't compressed as much cuz he's pulling up.

Swee6t bike and sweet riding.Regards to the first couple of comments he is pulling his front wheel around to exit the berm and because he is about to start riding off the berm he has shifted his weight to the back wheel so that y he has full compression on back shock.

I found this funny from tricknology;
"Notice how the rear is totally bottomed out, but the fork isn't? Either the setup is wrong or he should shift his weight further up front, sam-hill-style. Unless your nipples are in front of your handlebar, you won't be putting enough pressure on your front tire".
AHAHAHAHA, he sounds like he knows what hes on about...
Not!!!!
