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.
Daaaaaaaaaaaammmnnn that looks super plush love that Yeti design
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.
nice bike, shot, action...nice everything
So Cool Shot Man This Is Perfect POD
really intense photo, it is a photo like that that can inspire someone to start mtb'ing, props to the camera man!
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 
Sam Hill's nipples? You know, there are girl DH mountain bikers too.
omfg, that pic is so f*cking sick, so is that bike, the berm too 
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
-339 and going strong lmao!!
maybe... he's squaring off out of the turn, so the front isn't compressed as much cuz he's pulling up.
very nice pic props to the rider an photograph, I vote for pod
hey regardless this is a cool pic and he bike shouldnt be bottomed, but got look at his legs
going to be pod for sure, sick picture
lovin this pic, bet you its pod anytime soon

Great picture! id say pod for sure.

Super cool shot! The dust left behind him and the back ground being slightly blurred gives you the sensation of mach-9 pinning'er. This shot also exclaims loudly "Look at me, I've got a 303!" Great shot!
Nice one!!! Look at the muscle in his calve!!! HUGE
smell that?....its the sweet smell of a pod...
I love the way the suspension is almost completly compressed. Man he's just going to shot out of that berm
This pic has Photo of The Day written all over it
Agreed! I will actually be dissapointed if this doesnt make POD. Imagine the positive G's going into a berm that fast.
This it like one of the last corners comming up to the finish line in MSA.. Anybody whos whatched Earthed 5 knows that Justin is comming into this corner pinnin it, He even shoots up dusts in the photographers face... Amazing shot by the way!!
makes your clafs look bigger 
bottoming out the rear shock on a burm?
yep, going that fast
working so much!!!!!....untill die!!!!!.
man this picture is sweet!
Cool VOD i really like it and it isn't boring i think XD
Sorry i've mistaken! POD not VOD!
he's a genuine Yeti man, yeti socks and everything. I bet he's got a yeti toothbrush and drinks yeti cola!!!
So that's how the rear suspension works on a Yeti 303... Sic pic!
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.
you're right, coming out of hi speed corners being leaned front is not desirable if the rider wants to have everything under control. sick pic too!!
thanks guys. i didn't have the patience to type that explanation.
I'd say awesome shot. Definitely POD
this photo is by victor lucas and was in dirt a good few months back. just so people know
is it good he is using loads of travel round a corner?
I love the Tomcat pads... so good!
i love how the front tyre is kicking up the dirt, looks like his destroying the earth as his riding POD!
POD! hes got long shoes.......also prety good pic and props to the rider
super sweet bike...there is nothing more than 303...
Drucer knows what hes talking about , unlike alot of the ppl who posted before him , like some one who is racing at that level is gonna have his shocks setup badly cmon guys get with it!!
well said bigburd! great shot!
Thats what im talking about!!! NOT MOTOx just bike..! very very nice quality,i like the bike also
thats a 303 or it's another yeti?
woah bike is soo sooo nice !
niiiiiice!!! he has yeti socks..... cool
sick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nscom zrob podobne zdjecie i mow nothing special
very sick angle man...nice compressed both ways...wtf is chain slayer, where is pinkbike
re. "chainslayer" - its an april fools gag from yesterday, fear not.
Very nice pic, gives a great sense of speed through the corner. Wider angle could've been a bit nicer but, hey, I'm no photographer.

Haha, it would seem they're simply trying to ease us out of the chainslayer thing, but having a POD that almost resembles a dirtbike. Great shot.
downhill 4ever beauty pic!
beauty pic! theres a photo of that corner in a dirt issue, its got some other riders on the same corner and sam hill doesnt even use the berm he just cut straight round it.
YO! thats sick... great colors and everything!
Is it just me or is the rear tire very close to the frame, almost touching. Look just above the Y in yeti on the rear of the frame at one of the pivots
Better than the last couple, but still not that good.
Intense rules...the 303 it's a dream machine...love this suspension design!
POD for sure!
Sick photo.
Beautiful colours!

^^^ yetis are the best bikes ever made, so go put that 9ball back in the junkyard where it belongs.
