nice pic!...but pod? certainly does not display any amazing or unique riding styles? altho it shows a sick back ground in a way that you can tell the photographer has talent. but thats all it shows not taking anything away from the picture. because its sweet, and the sun though the trees and everything is awsome. just thought we need to capture more/unique/interesting action shots to be pod. thanx, cheers, tie
this is sick and its gotta be my pod and why are some many people sayin "dude why isnt that guy rideing" and all that shit the guy dosnt have to be rideing this pic is sick and deserves pod for sure i love it
i definitely agree with you. the pic is still a dh/fr setting, but more relaxed. the colours are amazing. people should see biking from a relaxing point of view as well. haven't any of you riders just sat at the top of a trail and looked down before?? i know i have and i'm sure you have to, so just shut up. it clearly deserves POD.
I have to agree with both of you...nothing beats a sunset, just stare down the trail relax for a moment..."click" this picture....then hit the trail...
well in that case your a fuckin prick you really dont know what mountainbikeing is do you its not just showing off to your mates and anyone that passes by its so much more than that
SO FUCKIN REALISE IT
look cunt face their are so many fuckin dicks on this website and your one of them if this site didnt have people like you on it it would be so much better and if mountain bikeing didnt have people like you in it then mountain bikeing would be so much better aswell
Great picture, and wonderful light. I think, however, the rider and tree should be separated a little more pushing them away from centre and further towards their respective sides. I think that would balance the composition a little better.
Okay, looks like people don't like intelligent constructive criticism on this site. My apologies, In future I'll stick to the "OMGODZILLA EPIC SHOTZ LOLLOLZ POD POD POD!!!111"
oh my fucking god what is wrong with people these days its stunning i love it the guy dosnt have to be rideing its the lifestyle aswell dont people get that these days
BUT IF IT WOULD HAVE BEING WADE, CAM, GEE, SEMENUK or any of the big names you all a$$ wipes would be calling it POD...so don't throw any shit to a photo that by far express the best that MTB has to offer, ENJOY THE NATURE!!!!
yeah we would be and ill be the first to admit but still this picture is better oh and your the fucking ass wipe and the prick get into your thick head what mountain bikeing is about and its not just some big fucking jumps
yeah fuck off what the fuck is wrong with everyone you dont have to be rideing in every picture to make it epic i think this pod is one of the best ive seen
I reckon what he is saying is, that guy was probably sat on his bike for about 10 minutes completely still for this guy to take this shot. With an EPIC picture, maybe a super flip or 3 whip etc, is the timing, Lighting, exposure, contrast. if someone could freeze themselves in the air doing one of these tricks and people could try all day to get a shot like this.
Just not my idea of exciting or anything to be honest.
Wow, i think we learn something new everyday. Mountain biking means the essence of the picture.
Before starting to try and have a go at someone, using a keyboard to emphasize your intellect as being nigh to a piece of human feces, Please, for the sake of the internet, invest in something useful with your time. i suggest a life?
yanno what fuck im not going to say any other shit to you because whats the point what would i get out of and how caould i help a prick as retarded as you so go fuck yourself and i hope you die while your on your bike now that would make my day
Inner tube...? honestly this is a beautiful picture. If you want action theres this thing called video of the day. Pictures capture a moment in time and that would be what this is. And it happens to be a beautiful moment in time so f*ck off
but seriousl compared to POD's as they used to be, including things like back flip cliff hangers, then why is it just some guy talking to a tree sat on his bike?
what you've said is right, in other words, you've hit the nail on the head. VOD's are for good riding, POD's can be about the pic quality, lighting, choice of lens, filters, AND good riding, but the awsome riding is NOT the defining factor. so in a nutshell, i'm agreeing with you.
pink bike is all about mountain bikeing not fuckin rideing u wanna see something epic look through the vods but a picture isnt a video its about something that looks beautiful your only fuckin problem is you cant fuckin appreciate it
thats our exact problem. now considering you have been non-stop with attempts at witty comebacks, and continue to exceedingly fail at devising one that is successful, i suggest you go away, learn a bit more about why the 'thrills of mountain biking' are achieved and how so, and also learn how to write, because quite frankly, you couldn't argue your way out of a primary school. Maybe upload some pictures of your self sitting on your bike, emphasizing the beautifulness and tranquility it brings to your heart, but I'm afraid to say, with writing like that, your not coming anywhere close to changing peoples opinions to whether or not this should be POD or not. No one has said this picture is crap, just not pod worthy. Thanks, Rant over.
look can't you just accept the fact thats its only a picture its not the end of the world that its pod or anything and with the amount you have just written it seems like your devoted to the fact you think its shite.
people have different opinions of everything i think this is a great and beautiful picture and its the best pod i have ever seen, and you proboly think its worse but thats life people think different things like you and me, just accept it and move on its only a picture.
