Yes, pigsflyalex, he's retarted. You can see the drool leaking from his helmet. I duno what he's doing, just maybe adapting the bike to the terrain he's about to land on? (just a guess...)

i love dudes that throw in their 2 cents by saying "crap pic" because it's not a dirt jump or slopestyle pic.....and to those who say it's not POD worthy, I challenge you to pick up a camera....and create a photo this good...where i have seen better(generally from guys who get paid to shoot mtbers) this guy clearly knows how to freeze a subject amidst chaos and speed and still create a photo with fantastic composition with no help at all from photo editing software to optimize colours and contrast.

in short....great job on this pic.

Nice pic and riding! But i dont think POD. Epoit: it doesnt take much skill to take a shot like this (although i am not saying its a bad shot) because the photographer has just used panning to blur the background and focus on the subject.

I gotta add my 2 cents. There are aspects of a good shot in here. The main drawback, i think, is the branch in the foreground distracts the viewers attention. The photographer has done well with the pan shot as the rider is fairly sharp. Anyone that does photography will know that it is a hard shot to get right. Good effort but not POD.
