very nice James, I've liked that shot since I first saw it. If I remember you got a nice one of Brendan Fairclough in the same section too didn't you?

I always get a kick out of pinkbike pod comments. Let's face it people, if it was absolute professional top quality magazine shot without any flaws whatsoever, he would have sold it to a magazine, not posted it up for Pinkbike's pod.
