there needs to be less POD bashing you guys, i mean, cummon, maybe you dont like todays POD but overnight it will magically happen that the pinkbike fairy will bring a new one! Holy Shit! what a revelation, you guys should show some respect, you know what, no, the trick isnt super tech, ya, the photo is overexposed, but hey, if you have enough time to dis the POD then your probably not spending enough time riding your bike anyways. So there it is, you guys who are dissing this pic, go out and ride your bikes, have fun and maybe you can try to take a better picture, then you won't be able to bitch when your pic is POD. PEACE, happy riding to all! Smile

that trick looks shitty
it's like aerobics in the air or something.
i'm sick of the pod's being dirt jump tricks all the time. you seen one you've seen them all.
i guess it's what the little punks like to see huh?
not really mountain biking is it

im seeing more indian air than supercan, but sick nonetheless
to the only pro and bigtard, i highly doubt you can do better, so dont bash it

I don't much like that pic!...sorry

dvp8 (Dec 27, 2008 at 7:58)

agreed the only reason its pod is because its Casey and he's sponsored by pink bike

lil50 (Dec 27, 2008 at 10:46)

No its not you idiot, Pinkbike doesn't use the POD's its a 10% ratio between Views to Favs.....He just has alot of friends who get notified when he adds photos.....Suck it up

emarciniak (Dec 27, 2008 at 18:27)

But Casey didn't post the photo. He just gets POD cause he's a steezy little bastard haha

emarciniak (Dec 27, 2008 at 18:29)

Shit cancel what I just said

knoxrider (Dec 27, 2008 at 8:34)

was this shot with a cellphone ? its way too over-exposed..

lil50 (Dec 27, 2008 at 10:49)

Actually he was using a way better camera then what you have.

knoxrider (Dec 28, 2008 at 10:34)

if its better than mine then he should of had a quality pic. its not what cam you got, its how you use the functions. homo.

not really...^^ id say hes alot better at dirt jumping than the claw for sure( the claw is still awsome tho and incredible)

bikerdude012 (Dec 27, 2008 at 1:05)

another amazing shot, another POD atta boy Casey, killin it

alex-2 (Dec 27, 2008 at 1:10)

Honest question, does anyone else hate this trick with a passion? Doesn't help that Andreu Lacondeguy made them popular, but all I see is a properly extended nfc done by someone who doesn't have the coordination/motor skills to get both legs out at the same time (see Grant Allen). That or a classic John Cowan Indian Air with no seatgrab and Downs syndrome. Nothing against the picture or the rider, just thought it was a propos.

bikerdude012 (Dec 27, 2008 at 1:16)

someone's jealous....

dirtybikerjosh (Dec 27, 2008 at 2:00) (Below Threshold) show comment

omg! you are my idol!!.. and its not a nfc, its a indian air

WOW =D way to stretch!

dray (Dec 27, 2008 at 15:56)

I dont care if I get negitive probs for this, but This is one of the better PODs we have had... Some of the pod and vods have been pretty bad so.. suck it up and deal with it.

bigbiiker (Dec 27, 2008 at 16:34)

easy trick but very nice taking soo props to the rider and major props to the camera man Wink

boot-r (Dec 27, 2008 at 23:28)

I loved Center of Gravity it was so sweet! Especially seeing local Shredders coming to ride together. Nice shot and props to casey! Salute

theginge (Jan 7, 2009 at 5:45)

cojackz (Dec 27, 2008 at 3:32) (Below Threshold) show comment

thats not hardtail, its dirt/jump :S

almostwise Mod Plus (Dec 27, 2008 at 5:04)

uhhhhhhhhh

s-r-o (Dec 27, 2008 at 5:12)

lol dirt jump bikes generally are hardtails!
though recently alot of people have short travel dual sussers like the slopestyle bikes...

MattyCatchy (Dec 27, 2008 at 7:52)

But thats slopestyle, not dirt jump.

Dirt jump bikes are hardtails-period.

almostwise Mod Plus (Dec 27, 2008 at 9:03)

except the ones that aren't

flatfall (Dec 27, 2008 at 10:11)

i dirt jump my 4x and its a squshy. and i like it way morethan when i had an ht

MattyCatchy (Dec 27, 2008 at 11:36)

Yeah, but thats exactly my point!! You dirt jump your 4x bike. Your 4x bike is not a dirt jump bike!! I jump my fully as well, but its certainly not a dirt jump bike!! You get Kona Coilers etc which are full bouncers, but they are slopestyle bikes.

almostwise Mod Plus (Dec 27, 2008 at 12:21)

I was thinking of things like the Cowan DS - dirt-jump specific bouncer Smile

s-r-o (Dec 27, 2008 at 15:09)

thats a slopestyle bike dude!

s-r-o (Dec 27, 2008 at 15:09)

but theyre most likely equally as nice to ride! Smile
