nice shot 
No its a Epic Shot. I love how the close tree on the left is blurry but then where he is its like High def,... one day that'll be me!
The rider is Crisp and that's the main feature? The photogragher could just crop that blurry tree out too?
FregoS- it's called depth of field. It's hard to have different spaced objects in exactly the same focus. Grab a camera and try to get action shots, then you'll understand!!
that picture is pretty off the hook, whoever said its photoshopped... just go and get your colouring book and crayons... ofcourse the pictures get touched up with a computer, it still doesnt make the picture look any less gnarl.
Hey, Taylor-BMX, It may not suit you BMX style, but if you look at some of the comments above, you might find out that most peole think this is a awesome POD!!!
Dirtbagluvin, I know its impossible, thats why he shoulda cropped it out. I own a canon 500d, so I have grabbed a camera once or twice in my life...
Why take out a tree when it doesn't detract from the focal point though?!! 500d or not!! Whoever takes the pic decides how to finish it and that is artistic expression at its finest!!
Okay... I meantioned my camera cause you said that I should grab a camera and try it myself.
I know it doesn't detract from the focal point, but it is so noticeable that it almost becomes a focal point itself. Of course the artist can do it the way he wants, but for f*cks sake it was my opionion. Respect it, deal with it.

Dude, I dont wanna fight, I don't understand, why you want to fight about my opinion. The pictures in my profile are 2 years old, If you'd just check the date and taken by my friends camera. I just got the 500d about a week or 2 ago. And yes, I have used a camera before that.
I don't want to fight about this, you obviously want to be right here, so ok. The picture is the best! I have no real opinion of it. It's the best picture in the internet and you can't make it better! Couldn't have made a better pic! (It really is a good pic.)

Yeah, no wonder their bikes are amazing, the owner understands how the bike is going to be ridden and even he rides it that way.
Sweet shot, but man, we have seen 3/4 angle shots of this drop too much... someone needs to find a new angle.
Props to the rider, and transition, though for being so steezy!

ofcourse it's popular, it's white! haha. i think it's very versatile for the range it offers as well, but i'd rather have a wider lense for most shots i want. i'd personally rather have a 24-70mm before that, a range often needed for biking. i'm not saying it's not on my wish list, just not first in line for what I need for most shots

i like the fact that transition is owned by people that ride and not all the corperate in it for the money tipes big props to transition well done fpor getting pod
Yeah, that was Kevin in his chair at work, then Brad put the pic in his computer and cut and pasted him onto the stunt in Oregon??!!
Why do so many people call photoshop on pictures that have zero evidence of being altered? Dude is seriously just going huge, believe it.
gromhit, this is one of the best pictures probably anybody took yesterday in the entire moutnain biking world, let alone pinkbike, definitly deserving of pod
I was there yesterday! Great shot, that feature is hard to get really good pics of, the angles are limited by how steep the hill is.

Wow. That is some intense riding. If you catch your back wheel on that ledge you're done for, though. Major props to Kevin.
Great pod. I think what makes it pod is that it makes you look at it and think "hmm...that looks like a hard, scary jump"...surely accomplished that.

Yes it is the cheese grader at black rock. great riding and all but not POD worthy. once again not to be a hater cause its one of my favorite hits at black rock. i just thought POD should be for more epic hits.
