idr999 (May 5, 2009 at 9:20)

ok picture. f*cking sick jump but the rider is slightly out of focus so im not feeling POD

roll on negative comments Smile

orleansmtb (May 5, 2009 at 9:36)

it is out of focus

[Reply]

gdirongopher (May 5, 2009 at 0:01)

duude that landing was thrown together ten mins before he launched it

gdirongopher (May 5, 2009 at 0:02)

but its deff got the look for POD

[Reply]

fluffles (May 5, 2009 at 9:36)

sometimes i think ppl will say 'negative prop me if you want, it's my opinion' or stuff like that so they CAN get positive props for ppl proving them wrong lol Wink

granted not all the time tho. great self-portrait, those are hard to take and get a finished product as good as this!

[Reply]

nickf (Oct 30, 2009 at 10:37)

the last time i was there, hitting this there were a few branches hung low. i got snagged right in the face! landed with my eyes closed and my body sucked into the rear wheel! haha. probably a personal first

[Reply]

trailchef (May 5, 2009 at 10:23)

that is the old abandoned landing in the foreground. he is comming down on a newer one behind it on a slightly different line. the fish eye effect makes it harder to differentiate between the two.

bradwalton Plus (May 5, 2009 at 12:36)

nope, it's just built out of whatever we could find. And for the record, it's super solid and doesn't budge

[Reply]

NorthwestShredSesh (May 5, 2009 at 10:11)

gotta love our western wa trails. . . . i HATE your helmet though it kills the pic for me : (

bradwalton Plus (May 5, 2009 at 12:34)

I'm an XC rider, I love my Xen helmet

lamairebike (May 5, 2009 at 20:25)

woooww, no big deal or anything...i dont think the timing could've been any better. how many times did you have to try to get it perfect?

[Reply]

plater (May 5, 2009 at 5:12)

Very nice pic! The landing looks like it was made up out of drift wood that floated down the creek.

[Reply]

ovoc (May 5, 2009 at 3:50)

Nevermind the landing is fatigued and looks kind of dangerous, it just amplify an effect - that pic is delicious. My vote - POD with no doubt.

[Reply]

Brycerink (Apr 7, 2009 at 12:32)

This is a sick pick especially since its a self portrait

bradwalton Plus (Apr 7, 2009 at 12:34)

thanks, I built the gap as well (with the help of some friends)

[Reply]

TylerRae Plus (May 5, 2009 at 9:36)

[Reply]

LOPAN (May 5, 2009 at 8:10)

i think the landing makes the shot, that is gnarly. Brad is hardcore!

[Reply]

ghess (May 5, 2009 at 7:56)

Someone needs to photoshop a troll under that landing!

Mazekwon (May 5, 2009 at 8:00)

or at least a hand coming through.

[Reply]

Mazekwon (May 5, 2009 at 8:04)

the landing looks pretty sturdy. maybe not the smoothest but solid enough i'm sure. look at the size of the logs
