epic!
Dude, if a pro does something super sick and it deserves, POD, who cares? Let it go up. Its only up for a day and in that day you should let the photo shine man. Dont hate because its a "pro". Everyone is a pro in their own minds, just let them get up there and do what they do.
And we are Propping for a picture not a rider, who cares who's on the picture. As long as it's great it should be POD. This one's sweet for sure 
wtf balfa, the photographer can be more important than the rider himself, even if you suck riding, you can still get great shots with someone who knows how to take some pics... every angle, lighting, position (and a good camera ofcourse) counts! i'm not sayin that the biker's skills aren't important, but the pod goes to the photographer, not to the the rider.
but ofcourse, that's my opinion!

I actually think this is more than a table, i think it is a 360 table, because paul bas does his tables the other way
maybe im wrong, but i dont think so

The guys who are against pro's getting PODs are such douche bags! They are a normal rider like anyone else who are recognized for there abilities more than you! The only difference between you and them is their ability and recognition. Don't hate on them because they worked their asses off and trained so hard to achieve their goals and now can kick your ass on the trails or on the jumps.
Lol balfa bad bad bad idea to even open your mouth, you got some nice haters now. But insane POD, finally something like this i have been waiting for.
I never said the pic wasn't sick, Because it is...although I believe this was just taken from the GIRO website...
i agree with balfa every one knows what the pros can do but like i wanna see average ppl getting awsome shots
! Nice one!
oh yeah gentlemen and the search is finally over............. the holy table has been found and Paul Basagoitia has been crowned king
Ever wounderd why a Epic pic never made POD ? Pink bike afterall is for the people, you! so why dont we have a say in the chance to decide what pic makes pod!
Join this thread to make things change and hopefully have you say on what pic makes POD!

I'm just gonna pretend that that was a funny joke but i am having a hard time doing it since it really wasnt funny.
there is a nice feel to the photo but i would have liked to seen more of the lip etc, and maybe not had the rider quite so central... the photo is still good, maybe just a bit too tight for my liking

I like the photo itself, but the table isn't perfect, his knees aren't in and it looks a bit bowed...I'm gonna get a slating for that.
Devil's avi...
seems photo shop'd
lightin' too perfect
where's the sandy trail coming off the bike?
IF it's legit -- sweet shot.

EVERY pic is photoshopped to some degree, what's the problem with it? as long as the rider hasn't been juxtaposed onto a background, who cares if the lighting has been tweaked a little?
anyway, great shot, wish I could see a bit of the lip though. still one of the best photos I've seen.

badly!
Its funny that little people have to come on this site like you and insult good pictures and riders just to feel better about themselves. I got to hand it to this rider, that is one sick POD and sure did deserve it.

haha ha, blafa,"taken from the giro website" who put the thing up in the first place, probably thisguy
I like how all the mtb guys get a cock up their asses everytime someone critiques this photo. Admit it, the table is ugly, the photo is only decent => No PoD in my opinion, nothing special here. He could be doing a 360 tabletop but well, you know, degrees don't show on photos.
