I really wish that POD wasn't just about photography skills, but more about whats actually going on in the picture. This is a good shot and all, but there is little skill involved.

Caiokv (Jun 30, 2009 at 11:03)

I agree, it is better to have both, but not having tons of skills in one or other pic is not a big issue at all...

Grandma (Jun 30, 2009 at 11:56)

its a good picture (and sorry for repeating others) its Pic of the day not rider or stunt of the day, the colours are great, quality is great angle is great, all this greatness makes for a great picture does it not

suicidedownhiller (Jun 30, 2009 at 13:29)

Yeah, Pictures should include rider skill. Not just ooooh dead grass and bushes that look red! Have you never seen dead grass before? lol Razz

I just don't like pods based on just photographer skill. I'd prefer a low res shot of someone doing something really stylish of a big jump to this crap...No ones else agrees though..

KondziuNS (Jun 30, 2009 at 14:55)

suicidedownhiller: Hucking huge drops and gaps doesn't require much more skill than staying on the line on this pic, so shut up, you're only jealous that your crap didin't get pod and this did anyway.

adownhillerfromscotland (Jun 30, 2009 at 15:05)
