Great timing, harsh bottoming! Its a good thing he has googles on, cause it would suck even more to get an eye full of brake lever screw.

Eh dont worry about it. It's kinda inevitable. Every POD has probably been reposted about 10 times...lol

Nah, its not bottoming out, he's just pimped it. Its running on Air rides. He's just slammed it to the Weeds. I'm sure i saw that bike on 'Pimp my Tomac' the other week... 
Great Pic! Deserves POD!

Pinkbike!!!! I can't believe you guys gave POD to someone who even said "not my photo" in the description. If I was raging-hippo I'd be so pissed, and any other photographer who may have been ripped off before.

Guys dont get pissed at nic for posting the photo, it's the mods that chose the photo to be poD even though he said it wasnt his photo in the description and i had alredy posted acknowledging where the original photo is and that I took it...

im not sure the words "S H I T" have never been shouted so loudly just before he impacted on the ground.

This might be irritating to hear, but dude, your front tire pressure is WAY too high. A flat-landing-bottom-out-your-DH-bike-smash-your-eye-on-your-bar compression should take your tire to the rim. You are not getting the responsiveness and traction that you would get from lower tire pressure (with or without UST tires and rims). Sorry about your eye.
awe some photo

Why do people always say on a bottoming out picture "ah that makes your bike/fork crap"? Do people not realize that their own bikes look like that sometimes? Forks/shocks are designed to absorb impacts and thus will inherantly bottom out. It also depends on how you like to run your shock, with sag/ramp up etc etc; just cus it bottoms out on something smaller doesn't mean that all those type of forks are shit.
Secondly i'm totaly with Byangoma; don't pass judgment on something unless you have extensively tested it yourself, just because you own a set of forks doesn't make all the competition shit. Also once again its down to personal preferance, I have raced with both Boxxers and 40's and I personally prefer 40s but as mentioned above, modern race forks are all of a very similair standard thus in the end its down to what the individual rider prefers.
