I'm not a big fan of ass shots. I've only seen a few that are decent.

nagelk(and others) I think its called a drift, rather than braking and skiding around the corner hes simply sliding/drifting because of the speed at which hes taking the corner.

flag Treebasher (Sep 28, 2008 at 14:39)
he isn't drifting in the pic - it's clearly a skid. There's a big difference between the two. Still a decent pic though.

this isn't the most technicaly perfect picture to be pod, but the reason it's such a fantastic picture is the atemosphere of the trail and more importantly the weather, makes you feel like you're there, this photo is very very very good.

flag wwjjtt (Sep 28, 2008 at 12:07)
it's ok, but when you see the standard of some of the POD's it's just not up there technically. but it's not a bad picture, think the color could do with some adjustments and it could have been framed slightly better. also i think the branch in the foreground should either have been really blurred out, as well as the distance by using a small aperture or it should have been in focus. (thats if the photographer is interested in critique)

but guys don't just diss pictures' ....thats someone out there ripping, not sat at home on a forum.... and a picture is all about what it means to you! and for the rider it's a reminder that he loves to shred!! what it isn't, is a photoshopped, pro taken with thousands of bucks camera of some pro rider posing! and thats REAL if you ask me!! it's refreshing to see! and surely you can associate with that... well if you ride you can!!!!!
