It's the average post of the retards on pinkbike.
See these examples:
- POD!!!
- Peee Oooo Deeee
- Wow this is mint, POD.
- etc etc, more of these useless comments

For some reason, those retards always need to tell it's a picture of the day or they want it to be. Although, nobody gives a f*ck, they keep posting. Pretty useless...

You'll see in about 50% of the posts here is written: POD

Does it really take much skill to go round a corner? Quit fighting. Use proper grammar and spelling. If a comment takes more seconds to read than the amount of words in the comment, it's unreadable. Just enjoy the POD.

Love the picture! I think it would look a bit better if it wasnt zoomed in as much. But I love the picture. A good picture isnt all about the riding skill. Its about the quality of the shot and the angles or whatever. Im no photographer so dont expect any technical words from me. Beer

That's exactly it man. Shadow areas that only flash lit up will stay sharp, but the rest that the sun lit up will be blurred. It's just coz the flash burst is fast, but the ambient light is constant. Worked out really well, is a sweet shot & dig the roost
