I've got to agree with the first comment by erik74, everything draws you towards the rider.

And he's even got some sick custom decaled forks!

Why not just stick a Transition/Pinkbike advert on the home page and be done with it, then give the POD section back to the public!

It's not a greatest of pictures on offer if we are honest or a great subject shot as where the same with most of the previous pods with Transition links. I am not slating the rider or photographer or even Transition Bikes. It's obviously just to please you guys at Transition Bikes who sponsor and have direct links to the Pinkbike team.
How many other Bike companies directly get pods regularly? I ask ya!

sorry but this is lame, a dude going down a hill for all we know thats it, just that lil patch of hill. could of been a better vod if it was recorded but pod worthy?? definitely not, nothing new nothing great compared to what is out there. thats just my bit of opinion

(btw i know there is more then just that little hill)
