Do people think this shouldnt make POD? B/c there are alot of positive comments with negative ratings behind them. I think its pretty f*cken awesome. Props to Jerry. I think this makes POD b/c of the fact that it is a self portrait. And that itself if pretty bitchin!! (bitchin = fantastic shot)

I could have put reasons, but I imagined all the kids out there would negative prop me for it so I didnt bother.
But yes, sky is wayy overdone, kind of ruins the photo for me.
Though - he says it was a self portrait, so if he did it with a timer then props

Yeah,blue in the sky is overdone... what can I say, I didn't upload this intending it to be "Photo Ripped up of the Day" or anything 
and didn't notice the overcooked blue until it was uploaded...
@ Jezzah - in your opinion, if I toned the sky down back to reality - would it qualify as a better photograph?
@ Codak: Thanks for the attempt at constructive criticism, but just pointing out what you don't like does not constitute constructive criticism... ie: "could have been done better" - HOW could it have been done better? - offering a tip on how to improve the image would be constructive... Also, I looked at your gallery - I agree, Jezzah has some pretty keen photography, top notch for sure. I believe he is a class of technicality above you or I - but I dont agree that you have anything that qualifies as "better" in your gallery. Just my opinion though, and I appreciate your time, thank you....

Haha, Ta bud.
If you toned down the sky it would distract less from the rider and make the whole thing look brighter, give it a shot.
Theres always crit with PODs (unless its a sterling lorence photo)

Thank you Gary - I used a radio-remote, which turned out to be a lot trickier than I thought it would be. Need to figure out a better method to push the button...

I think the longest is about 1.5 miles, but they are fairly new. There is also a world cup course that's pretty keen, left over from years ago. There's a 12 hour downhill race this weekend, check the link.... www.falltiltintelluride.com
Hopefully, people go and dig it - it would be cool if dh trails took off in Telluride, cause it's pretty close to durango
