I am not gonna lie! This should not have gotten POD, hahahah! I don't usually say this, but come on!!!! This trick does not even look good! He needs to practice it still! Brandon is a great rider and has so many other photos that are POD worthy, why this one!? IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW A SEAT GRAB NAC IS DONE CHECK OUT A_REV!!!!

Oh no, j-brantley. This isn't a riding website, it's not about what the rider's doing. You have to take into account the amazing camera work and background. Seriously, I've not understood some of the recent PODs.

Fantastic timing. It looks like he's just trying to get on the bike from a near standstill. Great shot.

j-brantley: It's more than just the trick he's pulling. It's the time of capture and the unique pose that makes this POD worthy. It's such a unique view of a common place trick we see a lot. It's nice to see a different moment of the trick captured like this. No disrespect intended mate.

@ Macks: I know everyone will hate me for this, but even the background ain't that splendid on this picture. Its just a plain area, nothing significant. IF it weren't b/w it would look boring. Most of the time I give props to the POD photographer's and riders, and I will still say that the timing is decent on this and the pic is clear.

However, I don't see this as being so spectacular and POD worthy. I would have likes a nicer landscape or more extension on the trick (leg).

Whatever, maybe something better will pop soon, right?

@ doubledeuce: Well, we can only hope. I wrote that comment sarcastically and when I pressed submit I realised that even the background sucked. I've not seen a decent POD in a while but I wrote this one because of some of the responses I got from commenting on yesterday's POD (XC Rider going into sunset) which, have now been deleted.

Macks Who the hell are you telling Brantley it's about the "the amazing camera work and background" Branltey understands photography to degree beyond most PB users, he is a major contender on the POD polls. his example of the move is much more enjoyable. i find this one bland the B&W was mis-used IMO i find his position awkwardif style doesn't matter this looks weird but is a sick trick tooi think that cgroves gets more POD's than lots of much better photographers out there. So i think that being said i agree, and i'm not one to say that "this doens't deserve POD" everbefore, but i think that this was a poorly choosen POD and there is much better examples of riding, jumping, and photography that this site has to offer
