Pretty stunning shot!
all these epic PODs lately make me wanna ride the US....Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah look so dope for biking
Great shot...
One piece of critisim. Rotate the image slightly. The horizon is horribly out.
Other than that...not a bad effort at all

Re: Horizon... what? You mean the horizon doesn't lean like that in the UK? haha
You're right though, I completely missed that.... thanks!

Looks like what I see out my window everyday 
Canada disc, if you come to the western slope of co, this is pretty much all you see.

I actually thought JUSTDEREK's post was pretty funny but i just gave him a negative prop because i have never seen that many negatives on one post
i think that it would be a better picture had it been taken from in front of the rider, so we can see what he's doing.
Yes, the background is ace, but i'm not sure that alone merits POD.

The last few pods have been all about the scenery, i think they should be more about the riding and the amazingness of the riding not the scenery. But a combination of the two does make a perfect pod.
yeah i think pods should be mainly about the riding, but if every so often we get one that's mainly focussed on scenery no problem, this is still a wicked shot! you can guess that his line will be sick anyway... 
POD's are not supposed to be focused on biking, it is focused on the sport of biking, if it were on biking there would POD's of linkage systems, and trick pedals and stuff, not that i would have a problem with that, but it is about how the riders and there bikes push the limits, and or where riding can take you, the scenes you see while biking the obstacles that a simple concept has grown to be able to drop 25' or ride down rock faces, like the POD YESTERDAY it was just a rider going down a rock face with some trees, but it is still an amazing picture and totally deserved pod, as does this one.
yeah i do agree this is a great shot and the riding in that place would be amazing, but. They could of got a shot of him actually droppping 25' with a big flatty or something like that, i not saying this is a bad shot but i think it should be more about the riding.
I can't think of anything more about the riding than plummeting down a canyon on your steed with no course or cleared trails, you know really just going out and ...riding really.

that is an amazing shot but i would like to know how big the drop on the other side is caus you cant really see it
ya ok ,it's a great sceanic shot, but i thought that these POD's were supposed to be focused on biking. What is he riding? Does he actually ride these rocks? If i wanted pictures of rocks i wouldnt be looking on PB

There's what he's riding... and yes, he rides the crap out of the rocks

that bike is SICK!
and for the record no-POD's are not supposed to be focused on biking, it is focused on the sport of biking, if it were on biking there would POD's of linkage systems, and trick pedals and stuff, not that i would have a problem with that, but it is about how the riders and there bikes push the limits, and or where riding can take you, the scenes you see while biking the obstacles that a simple concept has grown to be able to drop 25' or ride down rock faces, like the POD YESTERDAY it was just a rider going down a rock face with some trees, but it is still an amazing picture and totally deserved pod, as does this one.
I like how the background is just a little blurry but the rider is so crisp it makes it seems (a bit 3D and)like he is just about to go on a journey into a pit of unknown regions LIKE A MAN WOULD. sorry guys i'm a little blitzed.

Thanks! now if only people would stop negative propping us. i posted this again (after this one) toward the top a bit and it's at +6, just goes to show how pointless props are
Ok i looked at his bike, it's pretty nice and don't get me wrong i'm not doubting this guy's skills(can't do that from one pic) I'm just saying it would have been nice to be able to see more of the bike and rider in this pic, that's all. It's kinda fun to see biker's facial expressions and such
i really like this pic
it really unique with the lighting that u picked
it looks really cool to how the black rock feels like its coming out of the pic
great job

It's nice to see some more scenic PODs. PODs aren't all about the tricks and not always about the riding. It's a sick photo.
Why is this a POD? I think the photo is lacking around the area of the rider. The rock formations look breath taking, but the eroding land and the back of a rider kinda take away from what the photo could really be
after reading some of the comments above, i can agree that it captures the idea that the rider is pushing the limits of where you can ride and how where you ride can beautifully bond you the sport of biking but the photo is lacking POD solely on the fact that the picture is half great and half assed
i understand where your coming from but to me this is more inspiring than someone hucking it off some huge jump that i can never do, on some trail that i will never ride. to me this puts me in the moment, i would much rather look at pictures like this before i go for a ride and to me that is what POD is, what inspires the riders to go out and ride. some people like the DJ pod's for that reason as well, i just find riding down rocks more attainable than this
loving how many POD's are from colorado lately!!! Colorado Pride. Keep it up guys and those beautiful colorado women riders
