nie no to skomentuje xD Wypasna xD
kilbixy i never said it was not a good picture but a POD is supost to be the best of the best. Every one on pinkbike checks out the POD and i just think that this picture it lacking a lot compaired to most off all the other PODs we have had
there are better pic out there, with more views, more comments and more favs, i'm not saying its a bad photo, its nice, but it isnt as good as others i've seen around, that havent made POD in months, just my opinion
Why is this not POD worthy? I think its pretty neat.
Theres always going to be a better picture out there in somebody's eyes.

Pod isn't just whats happening in the picture. Its the suroundings and differnt seasons kinds of riding and so on. In my opinon POD worthy for sure!
Way to go man!

Face it. There aren't that many "best of the best". There could only be one "best of the best". So why are you guys crying about it? Your "best of the best" picture would've already been POD. Therefore Pinkbike has to take some average photos for the POD in order to keep the POD working. There are always going to be controversy over which photos should be POD and which shouldn't. My approach is to look at the POD, appreciate it and move on.
i fail to see why going around a bank turn deserves POD anyone can do that next they're gonna put up pictures of a 20 year old standing next to a bike
Cool picture, but it would be better if they were right beside each other on inside and outside berms...

ha ha ha thats awesome!
maybe they should have tried to lean their bikes over even harder for no good reason!
maybe they're freeriders?

thats a really fake push into that birm, trying to make it look like they are moving faster than they are. looks try-hard.
lol
That's true;] It was a little positioned, but we didn't chose is as a pod It was shot for fun from friends for friends this is my normal position shot http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/4197307/#top . Chill out a bit guys
Mtb is all about fun, not about Vod's Pod's etc. even Peaty said: " I still have fun from MTB, I think that's what holds me for soo long in the top of DH scene."

relax, no one said U do ride bad, or suck. We just said as it is, it looks a bit overdone, that's all. We don't want'ya to do a on foot pilgrimage to Santiago di Compostella to repay that sin. Therefore you don't need to bring up all these high morals . Nobody does a pic or vid to become a POD, how can U do such a thing? Ok guyz tommoro' we do a POD photoshoot! Wash yer balls an' polish yer TLD jerzey and a compulsory study of riding stance in 45 degree burms by watching Earthed from 2 to 4. Cheers

No.. It was more like that: Hmm lets try to lean as much as we can Find out how will this look like. - Okay. Thats how that photo figured out. It was only for fun I know leaning down on berms is slower than normal way to take it, but it was chill ride not World Cup

All I have to say here is "Speak English !" It's an International Site and we all want to understand whats going on ! ... as for the Pic. ... nice, but nothing special
why is everyone taking it out on the riders, maybe you should be critisizing the photographer although its still good but not great
yeah but you see what im saying right? , if your better than them you would of been as good/bad as them once
[Reply]
pod is just6 geting worse and worse soon it will be meaninles, soon it will be some kid riding of a curb!

Thats Sh!t berming technique lol unless there going into a right hand berm straight after then i might let them off. there just tranna put there bikes low to look good for camra :/
hey sometimes cranks even means you really shred. not these guys obviously
but if you're dialed you don't need to drop your cranks
its still funner though, specially if you sit and put your foot out

see i always wondered that, are you suppost to drop your outside foot? i dont, unless im taking my foot off like you said. its way more pinned if you dont i recon
according to the Fluid ride "Like a pro" you are. I never really knew about that until my buddy brought it over to watch. But yeah foot out full-speed gettin' loose is more fun.. It's a dope picture though, don't wanna take away from that. They could also be pedaling, but their feet/pedals aren't blurred like parts of the picture that are moving.
Quick thing, right foot on the ground. The blur streak is completely vertical, if you were moving that quick into a burm then there would be at least a diagonal blur leaning more horizontal than vertical. Also if the shutter speed picked up a blur on them then there wheels would be blurry to, yes? Because there wheels are moving faster than them. Just something to think about.

Nice POD I say. if you aint got anything positive or constructively developmental then just keep your fingers to yourself!

not saying the shot was bad. At the end of the day props the person who took the shot but i think POD should be someone doing something epic not just going round a burm
Don't tell about this pic "POD or not POD" this is good picture for one guy this be POD for anyone not POD it doesn't mind. You prefer POD with naked girls? Take better picture and later commentate 
Nice capture and the lads are exhibiting great cornering technique. Maybe more appropriate to flat corners than berms, but whatever, I like it. 
5-6 meters after that turn we've got a road gap. By taking this corner as a flat turn You lost too much speed and hit gap too slow. I damaged my seals in fork
in this way

they're taking this berm like its a flat turn.
is that body position really, really necessary?
its blurry too. come on pinkbike!

awwww its so annoying cos POD's are always f*cking DH/DJ biking!! i want a bmx POD!! but this pic is pretty cool to be fair 
Definitly POD worthy... look at that picture man you wont find another one like it. Two guys that close flying around that berm leaves blowin from there wind and there both focused out in front of them down the trail. You wont find another picture that has those qualities
Looks like the riders are trying wayyyy too hard to get the shot, the guy in the front is even looking at the camera. other then that, sick photo
how come downhill is taking over the site? bmx and dj need more recognition and they dont get it. no downhill picture ever deserves POD unless its of someone hucking a cliff or doing a huge downhill jump
