The tricks are cool, the light also (with a small flash triggering on each tricks, it could be nicer) but the edit is not very well done...some trees appear twice between the two positions.
But nice photo...

No it isn't look at the first shot of the jump, it has rough edges around the rider and wheel. I the editor would have zoomed in when he was cutting out the rider it would have looked smooth and seem less.

flag vppbikedeefer (Jan 18, 2009 at 21:14)
I assume you took 3 shots for this sequence. The first is the rider at the beginning of the jumps second is him in the air with legs kicked out(which looks like it was cut from another shot and pasted onto this one) Which is the original? How else did you do it?

Its actaully two photos the guy way in the back is not the same guy as in the jumps. Do you see in the middle of the picture the branches and how they are doubled, well i put the two photos together. i have the table photo uploaded, but never uploaded the other. ill uplaod for ya.

hey "tabletop666", the trick is called an unturndown...and it takes more style to pull off than a table top. funny thats what you named yourself when you aren't sure what it really is.

learn how to spell, and i dont believe you made POD..

Guy has made twice thus far. Or has it been three times now? I don't quite remember.
Beside the point, don't be so anal on who (or what for that matter) makes POD just because you can't put together a nice enough photo or edit for that matter that can even be near POD worthy.

Don't be so judge mental, it's really not that nice "/

BTW. That's an impressive shoulder buzz you got goin', didn't know you learned those. Props to you.
