Mike Kinrad at Kamloops, Single Track, in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada - photo by darkalleydownhill

I am filming, this and taking a pic at the same time. 2 hands. lol Both shots worked too. Kamloops, Single Track, The Trail From Barred For Life; Mike Kinrad. Photo By Matthew Gorveatte. This is from when I was filming. I wanted to show the very safe fresh water clouds coming out of the pulp plant on one side and riding on the other.

Epic is an understatment. POD!

I like the way the rider becomes part of the landscape- full of atmosphere.

rider89sb (Oct 25, 2009 at 13:37)

I am going to venture a guess and say that this will be POD shortly =D
Great shot!

POD for sure, but I don't think Al Gore will be too happy about that smoke stack to the right Confused

xpirimint (Nov 3, 2009 at 0:03)

i love how this was taken in the evening, the lighting is kind of poor and its a little more focused on the scenery than the rider but its still amazing

pretty epic, and how is that an understatement? what wouldn't be?
