Negative prop me all you want, it just goes to show that "mainstream" means more ignorance.
Who the f*ck cares about all the superstars and thier tricks, mountain biking was never about that. It means different things to different people sure, but the thing is, we all love what we do. We ride bicycles, we have fun, when did it become so "you suck cause you cant do a flip whip" or whatever u think is the cool thing to do?. This guy has probably overcome more shit than you probably ever will in your life times, and he found something that makes him feel the same way we do. And to top it off buddy scored a POD, thousands of people are gonna see this, why not make it as positive as you would like your POD to be?
Rant over.

Well, its a cool pic, well taken, and i'm sure the guy is fully railing that berm, but i dont think a fella's size should have anything to do with POD. If it were me, i'd feel a little insulted if this pic got picked over others just because of my height. He's an awesome and well accomplished rider, which has NOTHING to do with his physical appearance. but there are just better photo's out there. Just my opinion.

Dude, I totally agree. If I were a midget (Cry me a river, it's what everybody calls 'em) the LAST thing I would want would to be singled out because of my height, let alone have my picture posted on an international website. These folks just want to be normal and fit in with the rest of us, and having such a picture posted on here of all places is completely counterproductive. Don't get me wrong, I have respect for this guy, but it's because he rides, not because he's a midget. I know he's had to overcome stuff we couldn't even grasp to be the rider he is, but that's life. Hell, I have horrible knees that hurt like...well, hell after a few hours of riding, where's MY pod?

The thing is, I think it is a pretty nice pic, perhaps not the most Pod:ish today, but this picture is more than colors and sick drops, When I see this pic it just makes me glad, and no matter any kinds of conditions people can deliver the joy of biking.

And so what if this is todays POD, another pic could come tomorrow, so let this unphotoshopped pic express the Joy Smile
