insanely sweet picture, the only thing i can think to criticise is the composition, i think it would look alot better if the rider was at the left of the picture so you could see where he was heading, instead of the rider being to the right of the picture. pod all the way (even more so if you alter the composition)

bunkey (Oct 24, 2008 at 10:31)

nice use of negative space aswell Wink

daneto (Oct 30, 2008 at 10:34)

Nice photo, nice colors and nice angle, but in my opinion this doesnt deserve to be a POD. We have seen a lot of better PODs in the past, but thats what i think

manikboi (Oct 30, 2008 at 1:02)

sebs-i-think Plus (Oct 30, 2008 at 1:46)

where is that trail?

pipelinewill (Oct 30, 2008 at 15:52)

whistler

norconelson (Oct 30, 2008 at 16:34)

I love that jump! It's so perfect for doin big whips like your doin.

timmytooly (Oct 30, 2008 at 21:25)

that is a sickkkk whip try and boost more though bro

DHstinkySPOT (Oct 30, 2008 at 23:24)

i think he's trying to stay low, like it looks like a sick scrub to me. i don't think he wants to boost is all

bikemaniac1993 (Oct 31, 2008 at 1:30)

YES SO FAR I GOT - 138 PROPS FOR EXPRESING MY FEALINGS ABOUT THIS PICTURE AND THINKING THAT IT IS VERY GOOD QUALITY AND SHOULD BE POD AND IT DID GET POD YESTERDAY SO I WAS RIGHT

cali-rid-305 (Nov 3, 2008 at 9:57)

GOD DAMN IT! why are all the sick trails in whistler where i cant get to them

sebs-i-think Plus (Nov 3, 2008 at 11:44)

lol not really thats just crank it up Big Grin

its not hard to get to just when you catch the fitsimmons go right and over the bridge past the mini practise berm and down that hill its easy Big Grin

and fun a f$Â£%

cali-rid-305 (Nov 4, 2008 at 21:38)

NO! its the fact that i cant get to whistler not that i cant get to the trail.
well technically its the same thing but ya i cant go to whistler because me so broke all the time buying damn bike parts that just get more and more exspensive every time you break them!
DAMN IT I HATE BIKING BUT ITS SO FUN!!!!!

jeffrupert (Nov 5, 2008 at 3:11)

agreed, i live on the other side of canada from whistler, and believe me nova scotia is terrible for biking

cali-rid-305 (Nov 5, 2008 at 9:28)

every time i save up to go i end up having to spend it on parts. and the more i save the more i have to spend on a part.
like say i save up 500 or so, so far, i go ride a little and ill bend a rim or break something that costs as much as i have.
just like last year, i had just about 2grand and then i hit a road gap near my house and cracked my frame so i spent that 2000 on a new frame.

Jimby (Oct 30, 2008 at 10:17)

hmmmm.... great pic, nice wide angle lens, good skills and an amazing trail! However, as good as this is, i just think there are better pics out there that deserve POD. sorry. It is good, but not in my humble opinion worth POD.

Just my opinion.

dh-kevin-dh (Apr 8, 2009 at 16:21)
