david-hill (Dec 12, 2009 at 2:47)

I don't think the same photo from a different angle have ever both been POD! Both shots are easily POD material though!
The other one a while back was a side angle i believe.
Both sick shots!
The other one =)

Chicksands is great!! And to style it like that on the 4X deserves a POD.

pinityoufairy (Dec 12, 2009 at 5:38)

badbadleroybrown (Dec 12, 2009 at 22:21)

While they're both definately sick pics... they clearly werent taken at the same time. Same jump, same rider, same torqued out whip... different instances. You can tell from the lighting that they're different times of day or maybe even different days all together. Still sick in any case! Most Def POD worthy!

1 0

Mazekwon (Dec 13, 2009 at 12:46)

i think they are the same instances just different angles, it's dark and bright in all the right spots i think it is just angle and where the flash is that makes it seem different but the jumps are pretty bright in the other pic with the rider being bright too. and dark righht at the sides just as they are in this pic.

david-hill (Dec 17, 2009 at 4:20)

dude, do your research before calling people retarded. He is running only the rear brake, look here;http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3457267/
see the lack of front rotor? and the lack of front brake lever? who's retarded now?

the photographer timed the rider perfectly while he was still in some sunlight. The photographer, rider, and the light are all synced perfectly. Nice!
