ARE U SERIOUS! i mean What is the world of Dirt Jumping coming to? The Tricks are just getting More crazy, more amazing, and More OBSERD! INCREDIBLE POD
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?
*PS please ignore the grammatical errors up there... still groggy from waking up not too long ago lol. That's right, pinkbike is on my morning checklist.
@ 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
haha sarcasim is hard to sense with out voice modulation, seeing as if i said "wow your smart" or "wow your smart" you can't tell which one i was being sarcastic with can you? i re-read your comment your comment seemed frustrated NOT SARCASTIC.
and if you look at the times in which we posted, you notice the same time basically, like i read your second comment before you posted or like i typed mine up instantaneously or something, how quick we are to throw stones, so quit being a presumptial prick. you know like when you post something, and somebody else posted in the mean time it goes there in between, and since i'm @ work sometimes a paoge will sit on idle for hours till i finish a comment. and them bam one i hit submit there is a wackload of other comments
Macks (2 hours ago) @ doubledeuce: Well, we can only hope. I wrote that comment sarcastically and...
Mazekwon (1 hours ago) Macks Who the hell are you telling Brantley...
There's a difference between 1 hours and 2. That difference would be an hour. That's a long time. Seriously? Now you're just trying to twist what's been said. Just stop.
dude thts some of the craziest shit iive ever seen that like what people do on tramp bikes lol oh yeah i swear u set like 3 pods in a row now probs to u !!!!
yeaa the other pictures that were taken the same day like the super cans flip tucks and indians should have got pod!!..this is just like my little fun kool trick hahha
specializedbiker123 im guessing the black and white is photoshopped but the trick isnt. Brandons a way good shredder and you should give him props for being able to do that
yesterdays was realy nice def deserved it unlike this one thers so many nicer pics of the same trick just with more style that deserve pod 100x more than this but stil this is a pretty insane pic
