this is definately a future pod!
yes true!! there is not really anything to special about the picture but it just looks good
its one of the pictures that capture all the...i guess you would say emotions
not a good POD, sorry, i really think there were some better choices. i usually dont say this shit, but yee
Your used to heavily edited photos / HDR images which look incredibly unrealistic even if they are cool. This is an off the camera example of a perfect shot..
most of the "cool" ones arent heavily edited...maybe lightly for like colour balance and contrast and stuff...but the distortion is natural using a fisheye lens
Off the carmera example of a perfect shot...hahaha. whats up with the color in his cables by the handlebars. not that im 'jealous' (just stuck at home w a broken arm) but theres no way this picture is untouched. if u care to see a sick unedited pic check this one out http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2466776/
To Jp406- Anything taken on a digital or 35mm camera is editted, you can ajust aperture, shutter speed, focus range, ect... even the auto modes ajust to find the best settings. The only natural images are those seen through your own eyes.
i'm surprised no-ones said it's Sam Hill yet. Just cos he's on an iron horse with Monster energy written all over him.
"not a good POD, sorry, i really think there were some better choices. i usually dont say this shit, but yee"
i agree
i agree
to jp406, that still doesn't mean it's unedited, i was just varying my words in a to say the same thing. All I'm saying is the camera itself edits the image so nothing we see on here is uneditted, photoshopped or not.
this seems quite pointless but...a picture is edited in a photo program, not by the camera, the camera takes the picture...stop trying to be philosophical u sound ignorant
Philosophy is the study of general problems involving topics such as knowledge, existence, truth, ect... How was I trying to be philosophical? And your calling me ignorant- your the one lacking in education or knowledge, maybe if you used an SLR camera you would realise there are loads of settings you can edit when and before taking the picture in order to achieve the best results like the photographer has done here.

Real epic, its a shame coz often brendan gets over shadowed by the legend...sam hill. He is doing seriously well and will be a world cup champ someday. Shots like this one are wiked, keep the up!
nice, i wounder wth hill going to ride for the big specialized cmpany next year, will brendon move as well???
either way, good pic of brendon!!!

either way, good pic of brendon!!!
he never said this bike was a mongoose, he was simply giving his opinion in statement form...
and mongoose is hekkerz
and mongoose is hekkerz
oh really? what is he doing that is so special? i could do that after two days of practice in dirt park. this shouldn't be pod. there are so many great pics out there that deserve pod more. this is a nice pic, nice trick, but why pod?

Not sure about this pod honestly. I'm not hating or anything, Hill is probs one of if not the best dh racer right now, but i find that the pic is like many other pics, normal. Its doesn't stand out and i think many other pics should of been POD before this one. Now don't start hating on me for my opinion please. I'm not saying its a bad pic, just not worthy of POD if you ask me.
yo douchebag, thats not sam hill! lol jk, but yeah i agree with you on the whole POD thing, check my comment near the top i got negative props lol.
Well now i look like one idiot... I said sam hill because some people said his name so i thought it was him
Oh well.
lol. Props for a well thought out argument. I think it does deserve POD, but hey if we all agreed on everything life would get boring very quickly 
Thanks man, i take my time to make something worthy or reading lol
But the pic is nice though. Anyway, thanks again man and you're right, i'd hate to always agree with others. Props to you for that !

SURE IT MIGHT BE SKILLFUL BUT EVERYONE HAS SKILLS TO DO THAT THAT GUYT IS NO DIFFERENT JUST BECAUSE HE GOT GOOD PICTURE AND ANOTHER THING YOU HAVE TO THINK A BOUT IS HOW IS HE GONNA LAND I MEAN HE IS SIDEWAYS. THATS NOT GONNA BE PRETTY I MEAN DO THE AFTER MATH AND WHAT HE HAS IS A BROKEN NECK A BROCKEN LEG AND a FRACTORED SPINAL CORD IS IT WORTH IT!!!!!!!! I DONT THINK SO!!!!! WOULD YOU THROW AWAY YOUR WHOLE LIFE JUST TO GETA FEW MOMENTS OF AIR TIME I CERTANLY WOULDN'T THATS WHY RACING BIKES ARE WAYU BETTER BECAUSE YOU GET TO GO SOOOOOOOOOOO FAST AND YOU DONT THROW A WAY YOU LIFE! ITS WAY WAY WAY WAY BETTTTTER@ IF YOU DO RACING ROAD BIKES IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND AND IF YOU GIVE ME NEGATIVE PROPS ITS JUST BECAUSE YOUR JELOUS AND AFRAID TO ADMIT THAT IM RIGHT AND MOYUNTAIN BIKKING SUCKS!!!!!!@#$!!!! SO ADMIT IT alllll OF YOU BECAUSE YOU ALL SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MUWAHAHAHAMUWAHAHAHA AND BE aFRAID nOw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can think of something his parents should have used; it starts with a "C" and ends with an "ondom."
shut up f*ckING a*shole AND GO SUCK ON YOUR MOMS DICK. mtb is a SHIT LOAD OF FUN AND IF U DONT LIKE GET OFF THE SITE DICK SHIT!!!!!!!!
This picture simply doesn't deserves to be POD. Below average skill with no better photo quality at all. Even worse are the "DH berm pods". I think most of the riders here would prefer DJ pods instead of this...shit.
I wonder if they use a 440FR hub that's painted white for their 12x150mm EX1750 wheelset applications...
