Another boring POD in my opinion. I know it's crisp and clear, but it just isn't anything special. Go ahead and negative prop me.

nosnibor (Apr 25, 2010 at 4:23)

this photo is pod worthy because it is a simple, clear crisp shot of the world champ.

non of this drastic arty farty shizzle going on.

edd-stevens (Apr 25, 2010 at 4:40)

If it was taken from more distance it would be even more boring Razz

bunkey (Apr 25, 2010 at 5:30)

Sorry guys but why is this POD? Its just a full frame shot of a rider... I can find you at least 200 identical pictures on pinkbike. Crisp aye, but wheres the art?

he prob wont get payed to wear those

hatch (Apr 26, 2010 at 10:28)

Not really the point.....thought he would be showing them off all over the place seeing the world champs have been his nemesis until last year.

johnyredbull (Apr 26, 2010 at 10:37)

Id rather get payed

+ 3

danny-oli (Apr 26, 2010 at 11:45)

possible cause its not a dh race, its a dual slalom. and he won the jearsy in DH.

+ 1

johnyredbull (Apr 26, 2010 at 13:41)

and why wud u wear the stripes and not get payed if u could wear a sponsor jersey n earn loads a kudos? and why did sam hill crash on last corner.....? lack ov payment maybe just my opinion but.....

+ 1

danny-oli (Apr 26, 2010 at 13:48)

no its because he went to fast around it, and its not all about money, if you've won the world champs to be the best downhill rider you'd want to show it off, and you wouldn't care about the money you'd loose from it, but im sure you only wear the jersey for the UCI.

+ 1

hatch (Apr 26, 2010 at 14:15)

Johnyredbull I think you are getting a little confused in what I was getting at......im not on about steve wearing his World Champ jersey......I was wondering why he wasnt displaying the rainbow stripes like Minnar, Hill, Fabian do on their race shirts eg on the collars/cuffs.

+ 1

johnyredbull (Apr 26, 2010 at 14:20)

if he wears the (UCI) rainbow stripes the UCI wont allow sponsors on the jersey??????
