I get that allot of people think that this dosnt desere to be a p.o.d. But do we always need fantastic/epic pictures as pods? Sometimes it nice to have a recent picture that displays what season we are riding in. This is a nice fall shot that represents what Canadians are riding this time of year.

02tbri (Oct 28, 2008 at 9:26)

i think the rider has been too underexposed, coz its shot facing the sun, i think it would have looked nice from a differnt angle where you can see more shadows and vibrant colours, mainly not shooting into the light source

+ 0

crowe (Oct 28, 2008 at 10:09)

i think it made pod as a payback for devinci letting the pinkbike administration test run their '09 line-up at bromont. and that's fair, but i think you could have come up with a better picture. at least one that was in better focus. just my opinion.

+ 3

artifact (Oct 28, 2008 at 13:38)

doesnt deserve pod, focus is pretty bad,, even with better focus its not even that spectacular

ilikep2 (Oct 28, 2008 at 13:51)

haha i love how its a canadian pod and everyones hatin on us for it but its not that great at all and all of us canadians are pretty much agreeing on that

mickeydesadist2 (Oct 28, 2008 at 14:54)

its funny how full of envy the world is over how pretty Canada is. this pod may not be the greatest but just to think that means we really got it great here so thanks for the inspirational non pod POD!!!

sqrleprle (Oct 28, 2008 at 0:56)

That is one thing that I realy remember about when I lived in Quebec. Whenever it was fall and we went riding at Bromont, the leaves added another dimension to riding. You could never know what lay under them, either a wet rock, mud puddle, dead body. WHO KNOWS!?!?!! It makes your heart race just that little bit more.

freerider126 (Oct 28, 2008 at 21:22)

Ok so I agree..... Not the best POD we've seen. But the rider is obviously having enough fun to want pictures. And isn't having fun why we ride?????? About the Canadian comments.....Lets look at something.... More pics are from Canada than any other country on Pinkbike which would make it stand to reason that most of the Pics of the Days would be Canadian. If your not Canadian and you don't like the pic then here's an idea. Go ride, have fun, take good pics, post them and maybe they'll make POD and stop crying. Love the way the photographer tried to grab essence of seasonal riding.

sure is, read the info beside the pic. and my verdict as to why it is pod. becuase brule has the power to make it pod is pretty much the reason, whether or not it is his pic idk. he's probably repping the devinci team who payed for them to come out their...
