NICE!
the middle shock is just 4 looks there...isnt???? anit working...
There's another bike attached to the rear axle...!
the pic s real cause the shadows are perfect...and the bike that is attached to it is probably a buggy to carry stuff or to carry a baby
yea it had a little wagon thing on it
look at the shadow on the ground u can tell its not photo shopped
i bet that thing could popp some fatty wheelieess
This is kinda cool but wired at same time. Look at the pedals looks like they will hit eachother while pedaling. btw I like pait job ..sick 
whoever owns this is sittin on close to 20 grand
this shit is legit, it was custom made by santa cruz
its called a v10dem a v10 tandem and the trailer thing on the back was holding a keg of beer and the trailer had a wheel with a motor that was controlled by the person sitting in the back. on it that could help the bike get up some lil hills and stuff and the rear shock doesnt do anything and it has a custom blt paint job
Racing like that is so gnar
How much does that thing cost? Like $13,000?
id rather just have the two bikes by them selvs
add it all up dude. v-10s come at an upwards of 8000 + custom work. pretty damn near 20k i thinkg
Wow... how did this make POD? lol i mean it's awesome, but there's so many better pictures out there that deserve POD. Here come the negative props...
maybe true but who would buy that?
v10tem
the only thing clever bout this bike is the name
v10tem
the only thing clever bout this bike is the name
I'd love to own that for laughs and awesomeness!
somebody has money and time
That is insane. (in a good way), beats my mates v10, hands down 
that is THE most awesome tandem in the world so dont get me wrong but has anyone noticed the placement of the bars for the back..ya explains itself
shouldn't this bike be called a w20 cause its its 2 v10's together
either way its sick
either way its sick
what a waste of 2 v10's
I echo that what a bloody waste! As if thats gonna ride, its just novelty for a rich playboy
atleast theirs a helmet in the picture
What a waste of parts. You could of just bought 2 v10s I would much rather them than this thing. I agree with the guy above the only good thing about it would be its name. I don't understand why you would get a tandem downhill bike, it seems really stupid! No offence but it doesn't deserve POD, the only reason I can think it would get POD is because the amount of money you paid for it.
Rant over.
Rant over.
is this the first pod ever wear
its just the bike that made pod.......?
its just the bike that made pod.......?
WHY that is the WORST thing santa cruz has done.
Its so ugly what is the point of that shit!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its so ugly what is the point of that shit!!!!!!!!!!!!
im not seein how this got POD. i mean the bike is cool n all but i dont think it should be POD
I'd rather have two v10's
Two v10's would be awesome. God, Americans are so closed minded. It got pod because it isn't something you see everyday. That would be a blast to ride with a buddy, you would see how your riding style differs big time.
the person on the back would g8et an ass full from the person on the front.. look how high that seat is and how low the bars are.
i would huck that bike off some shit and probobly get f*cked up but it would stil be sick t do
This is f*cking brutal!! I am all for custom work, and one-of-a-kind bikes, but this is just a waste of time, money, and bikes. It's nice to have something custom that other people can't have, but only when it doesn't make you look stupid and embarrass you when you ride it. Also, there is no way that this dude even has a friend to ride it with him. All of his friends said "f*ck that man, you're a pussy, what happens to me when you fart?" Even if this dude paid me, and built a super-cool extra-long jump for it, I would still tell him to get that pile of mangled shit away from me. I hope the designers at Santa Cruz track this guy down and beat him savagely for butchering their work. I want to kick this guy's ass and I didn't design the bike. Shouldn't this dude have a job, hobbies, shit to do, or women to shag? Instead he is wasting metal and welding rods. If I see this travesty on the streets, I promise to make fun of whoever is riding it and spit on them, I would expect the same from all of you. This is a travesty to biking, for shame. Yes you got POD, but you got it for being a retard...FAIL.
you guys are all dumb its just a cool idea that someone came up with..and obviously they thought it was cool too or they wouldnt of posted it as POD..i think it looks bad ass to be honest with you..and the guy above me i think you need to calm down and take some ritalin and calm down buddy lol you guys just gotta chill out and stop analyzing the crap out of every movie and photo posted..just enjoy it and just the f*ck up lol damn
I don't take ritalin, I just smoke weed. Wonderful grammar, I see that you're educated. Your last sentence.....I should "just enjoy it and just the f*ck up? What the f*ck up? Shut the f*ck up? You realize I'm typing, not talking, right? Ok, and you like the thing, does that mean that you would waste like $10,000 butchering 2 perfectly good bikes? No, you wouldn't. Actually, you couldn't afford to anyways. I'm wasting my time on you "brob56". Thanks for coming out.
Settle down. You don't as whitty as you think.
^^ ...And apparently neither are you. I'm not witty at all. I'm the bad guy. Other than that, I know I'm not shit in the grand scheme of things.
"I hope the designers at Santa Cruz track this guy down and beat him savagely for butchering their work"
It was the engineers at SCB that built this thing. They do a different crazy bike for all the big MTB events. This is the best one yet.

i wanna see 2 people riding it :O

It even has a BOB trailer hooked up to it.
sorry but this should not be pod
Imagine doing a DH run on that!
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/podlist/?page=108 Here buddy ^^
its stupid !!!why srap 2 v10
i agree ^^^^^ yeah its challenging to ride a bike like this two people and all.... but first off definatly shouldnt be pod.. :/
This is actual bike porn. Threesome between 2 V-10s and a trailer thing...Ha
wow, the front seat would be uncomfortable... it's so high.
so how fast were those two bikes going when they hit eachother?
looks flexy
looks flexy
does it come in rootbeer?
bash gaurd is on the wrong side
no shit it's a tandem. i bet the back bike has two bashguards!
Id love to try to N-Do That
i would f*cking love to try wheelie it XD OMG it would be so fun
i know im gonna have negative props,.. but i think they should put a more solid fork
its really cool and stuff, but it would have been alot better if 2 people were actually riding it.
hey ts not like i said the bike sucks or anything, i just said it would be sweet to see people riding it buddy.
man settle down, its obviously sick if it makes POD with out anyone riding it. im just saying it would be sweet to see 2 people riding dh on one bike. like riding a shore or something. theres no reason to get worked up about it.
waste of money. it has like a Ti spring in the middle that does nothing, yet the dhx in the rear has just a normal steel spring...not to mention if you tried to ride any normal downhill course it would be all over the place.
and last, why the hell is it POD?
and last, why the hell is it POD?
Is the suspension in the middle supposed to do something exept making the bike look good?
if it works, it sends the rider in the back straight into the guy in front, but still, wicked bike
i think it works, and it wouldnt push them into each other cos the seat is on the same part so they would still move together.
freaking sick tandem. they should put Peat and Rennie on it in a race and theyd go 2 times as fast

ya i think it works because the shock would send the head tube and downtube of the second bike down causeing the second back shock to compress aswell. at least thats what it looks like, i may be wrong though. its a sick bike either way, whoever owns it is pretty luckyy.
yea i wish i had that! imagine goin down fort bill dh track with a m8 on that!
It would be NUTS!!
It would be NUTS!!
it wouldnt work
youd need a pivot where the headtube of the 2nd bike is attched and in several other places where it is so obviously welded together

Maybe its a shock that works the opposite way...?
Or for braking?
Or for braking?
noo i agree with "mike-v10"
there are no pivots for it, and i just dont see any possible way it could work... BUT, on the second bike, ITS rear suspension would work... i think!

but there is a pivot, its right underneath the headtube, i think theres a hole along the back so the rear frame can pivot into it properly, i wana see a video of this thing
The middle shock does work because as the rear v10 compresses the head angle on it slackens meaning that where the two v10's join by the green bashguard it pivots there and compresses the middle shock
the front bb height is sick........
and i wouldn't like to smell the front rider ass all the way down
and i wouldn't like to smell the front rider ass all the way down
thats a $12,000 tandem!
they must have money to burn, I would rather take 2 v10's. Interesting concept tho.
a v20 mutation - a product of a v10 copulation
congrats to the builder for having alot of money and bad ways of spending it
i want to know who built this!! haah
they are truly mad.
they are truly mad.
yeah, i saw that when i was there. hella sick!!! it pulls a trailer with a beer tap and a little gas powered weed eater motor that pushes the trailer and bike.
congrats on the win dude
what a waste of 2 good frames, whoever built that is a dick head.
they coulda been warranty frames
santacruz built it, so u just called santacruz designers dick heads, u should b ashamed
If that's what they built then yes, I'm happy to call them dick heads.
But I'm calling Bullshit on your call anyways...
But I'm calling Bullshit on your call anyways...
it looks like is being held together at the top by the seat post
what a complete waste of 2 amazing bikes
a santa cruz masaca if you ask me
sick
is it one frame more?
--------------> to the right:S
is it one frame more?
--------------> to the right:S
it is cool but i think it dosent ride because the chain swithes sides but amazing pic
no the santa cruz guys were riding it around all day
chain switching sides? what difference would that make? thy've use 2 drive cranks on the rear frame..duuh
wow.........$$$$100500$$$$$
it think it has it got two chain devices on both sides??
looks like 2 veetens getting stuck while having s*x hahaha... great effort by the builder though... must be fun to ride.
a waste of two nice bikes i cud have actually used.tosser
must waigh like 90lb ahhahahha
no matter if its real or not ,but how to drop or to jump a double???
The in the back is gonna be looking at the other guys ass the whole time. Look where the handlebars are, and the front seat. haha
you are crazy $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
what a waste of the two fastest dh bikes in the world!
if you actually ruined two v10s to do that i think you're a complete ass hole.
yeah since 1 off those are the 08 model
love it thats is a realy nice santacruz
sorry but I find it a waste of bikes and money. :-/
true! it's f*cking sick, but 2 v10s are more usefull than 1 tandem v10
