RideDirtWake (May 1, 2009 at 4:38)

HDR is three exposures of the same scene combined. The rider would have been in one exposure and the other two without the rider, seeing as it would be impossible to get three exposures without the rider moving.
Awesome HDR, something new, deserved POD in my opinion.

i dont think its POD worthy at all, to be honest loading docks are max 3.5 feet it honestly to me looks like a bail dont get me wrong as stated above the HDR and shit if perfect, but the trick is f*ckin shit, it doesnt even look like a one footed table. Whatever ill get -props for this put atleast its MY f*ckIN OPINION

great HDR image but not pod worthy the trick is not done properly and the rider looks disoriented in the air let alone if he's going to land it. nothing about the rider i'm sure he is good but this really is not pod worthy
thanks

aflo661 (May 1, 2009 at 15:48)

The rider looks cartoonish. A little heavy on the photoshopping. You have to be careful when using HDR images because they can look a bit cheesy sometimes. Some parts of the picture are good like the asphalt and the sky but the school in the background is not appealing. could have been composed a bit better or cropped to increase the impact of the photo.

[Reply]

breadandmayo (May 1, 2009 at 10:11)

Not exactly sure why this is POD. POD should be based on how good the riding is, not on the quality of the picture. It's like turning it into a photoshop contest instead of riding. Sorry if I offended anyone.

dillonchamberlain (May 1, 2009 at 10:28)

i strongly disagree. no offense.

Mazekwon (May 1, 2009 at 11:58)

I Disagree as well seeing as it is PICTURE of the day. because it is all about capturing what this sport is about. Just enjoying it wether your hucking huge, flying round berms, or just out having a good time. doesn't it look like he is having a gorgeous time. that to me is what POD's are about.

AustinSedz (May 4, 2009 at 20:39)

Unhallowed (May 1, 2009 at 7:54)

Here in Vancouver I have been riding all year round, aside from a whole 3 weeks where I had to ride park and street because the trails had a bit of snow on them... and even then I still rode them haha. We had 1 week of solid snow, and then another small snowstorm a month later... Thank jebus I own a snow plow for my truck and made lots of money haha.

Picture is excellent. Trick is... half ass decent? Seems a bit sloppy haha.
But regardless, good job on the shot.
