its a good pic, maby not POD worthy. If this wasnt POD and someone said ``SICK PIC`` no-one would negative props them. It is sick..just maby not POD sick. so when someone complements a ``maby`` POD then it is a good pic if its even close to being a POD. I personaly like this picture but i could pick better ones out of the same album at the POST OFFICE (sick jumps by the way).

1. railing a berm
2. pinning through a rick garden or simple straight away
3. hitting a big drop with some style but then you would probably still say there are too many dj pods
get over it. if you dont like that its a dj picture then go look at a different one
