hi! a photo is just a moment. this photo maby shows a good moment. i uploaded a video which shows the section:
http://www.pinkbike.com/video/161160/
its not so crazy. i´m no pro rider, i ride just for fun, i have family and i don´t risk my live for a photo. on this day, the light was not good for photos so we searched for interesting locations. i said to colin: hey man, look at this rail. i can ride down and drop off. standing on top and ride on was the scariest moment on this action.

bigtard (Sep 21, 2010 at 15:14)

if you're gonna put out a picture where the guy might be a badass or might be less of a badass depending upon what happened before the photo was shot. you better show the sequence up to it.
cuz it looks like he MIGHT be manualing a badass rail.
but he might not be
makes a difference
regardless the scenery is beautiful

oldandintheway (Sep 21, 2010 at 9:40)

Nice one, man! Just curious, do you land on the stairs at the bottom? Is it a big bunnyhop onto the rail or is there something up there that lets you ride right on?

But between black and white there are a million shades of grey.

If he said great tonal quality would that make more sense because its certainly true.
