Maybe if I'd had someone running through the background with a fishing rod with a block of meat on it being chased by a dog...

I love this photo, its about lifestyle not just the actual riding, its well taken and interesting! Think about how many jump photos there have been - originality is good.

EmteeHayze (Jun 17, 2010 at 2:22)

Why is everyone so against a different style of pod? There's one for each day of the year I think we'll be able to get all the other 'real mountain bike' ones in.

I pretty sure its just fun and a cool picture and get the f**k over it and that it doesnt all ways have to be riding. Its abit of FUN understand that word? thats the feeling You have when You ride Your bike

ebo421 (Jun 17, 2010 at 3:50)

it makes sense that people are gunna dislike it. yeah its a sweet picture, i think its cool, but it doesnt make me wanna go ride. it makes me want to walk my dog.

i personally like it
i think its a fun photo
there are a million shots of guys doing berms
while you can only find a few like this one
or this one: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/4718562/
why cant we have a fun one in a while
thats not saying its not great to have an amazing riding photo 99percent of the time,
but way to mix it up! i like it Salute

and no matter what we say; its POD
so if you dont like it, wait till' tommorow

intense6-6freerider (Jun 17, 2010 at 4:32)

on the upside, if every1 did this,all the time. no1 would ever try steel your bike.

thebrandon321 (Jun 17, 2010 at 4:43)

You guys realize that the more you wine, the more it inspires the MOD's to give you not so great pods right? Besides bashing on the photo isn't going to convince them to change the picture until tomorrow, so quit wasting your own time and live with it.

Neg props ftw!

curlxupxandxdle (Jun 17, 2010 at 6:09)

what would make this so much better (not saying its not funny as f*ck) would be if he was acualy riding downhill but had it tied to his back with the dog chasing him, gotta get faster some how!

alexblayden (Jun 17, 2010 at 6:10)

you lot are idiots, complaining this should not be pod and blaming PINKBIKE where its just down to faves by us

+ 11

Rattsl (Jun 17, 2010 at 6:10)

Shred-NZ. It's POD because it's an original shot of biking instead of some dh guy railing a berm, or a dj'er doing a backflip. Do you see this scenario everyday? No? Exactly...shaaaaaddup.

mtnbker395 (Jun 17, 2010 at 8:45)

hahahaha, awesome POD!!

newworlddisorder (Jun 17, 2010 at 9:39)

What Happens when the dog grabs the meat and suddenly stops?

DanB25 (Jun 17, 2010 at 10:00)

loving the pods recently, loving the rage too

timex255 (Jun 17, 2010 at 11:17)

Hah! Thats clasic! POD for how awesome this is.

johnnymacf (Jun 17, 2010 at 11:18)

i swear the mod's choose photos like this just to see how much all you weiners get pissed off. it's a funny photo that looks good. the mods obviously thought it looked cool so they chose it for everyone to see when they come on the site. there's nothing wrong with a change up here or there, even if it's something as simple as a dog, or a rubber ducky.. this is a dope POD. i'm even gonna add it to my favorites.. all you haters get over yourselves and find something productive to do faaaakkkk

every one can suck a dick. i like the photo. most people like the photo. typing this out is a waste of my time. i have f*cking had it with the winy people on pink bike. it does not matter what they think because its not their web site.

ace169 (Jun 17, 2010 at 12:03)

I AGREE!!!

kumabiker (Jun 17, 2010 at 2:43)

Every single one of the " this should be tomorrows pod" are the same as before. do you guys not know how to smile??
why arent u out the riding or photo shooting to try and get pod ur self.
the last few days pods are great examples of the RIDING LIFESTYLE which by the looks of it is loosing direction with newer riders these days.

nice pod

ezekiel (Jun 17, 2010 at 7:00)

Exactly.

People want to talk about riding as a lifestyle then they can't stop and appreciate a quality lifestyle picture because the guy isn't doing something amazing. Its still a great picture that demonstrates how bikers tend to do things a little differently than the rest.

hoolydooly (Jun 17, 2010 at 0:49)

after looking at the whole guy feeding his dog thing for about half a second. i moved on to the Fox 40s in the back ground. they look real nice. so white and shiny. shame i wont have enough money for a pair until im 25. Frown

stab (Jun 17, 2010 at 19:18)

I was fishing once and caught a dog too. I brought the dog home and named it trout. One day a few years later me and my dog "trout" when fishing together. As we sat on the dock pondering life a huge fish jumped out of the water and pulled trout back in. I was in total shock then after a few hours of crying i started walking home alone. I was almost home when i realized that "trout" wasnt a dog at all but a huge fish that looked like a dog. Then i felt a huge sense of relief and thought wow that was one cool fish.

Thank you for your time, SPW the 3rd

unclebones (Jun 18, 2010 at 5:57)

I know im a bit late but this is awesome!!!

And to all the people who have hated on this POD, have you ever actually taken the time to find out what POD and pinkbike is all about or have you just made an assumption in your head because youve only seen riding POD's. If you get angry over one picture on a website with millions of pictures, good luck with life cos no one in the real world would put up with your sh*t.

[Reply]

freeridedub (Jun 17, 2010 at 11:36)

u know this is an awesome POD, super original and up lifting too, i think everyone is stoked on it, but everyones upset cos they didnt think of it theirselves first, seeing comp pics and rad shots of berms is always epic, but hey mtn biking is all about FUN, and im glad pinkbike made this POD cos i think most of these folks forgot mtn biking is all about fun, kickin it with your friends or in this case man's best friend

i like the pod! all you do is look at it smile and go about your day then next day onto new one... don't get why there's always such negative stuff about any pod?

anyways the pics nice but the 3 legged dogs more impressive!!

DJQMCBonez (Jun 17, 2010 at 9:42)

cooorr some of you people need to chill out its a funny picture get a sence of humor and live life a little.

rockdrop420 (Jun 17, 2010 at 1:09)

Why is this guy riding down the sidewalk with a fullface helmet????

sentinel13 (Jun 17, 2010 at 11:45)

Because when that hound gets a hold of that meat there's no telling which way the rider is going to get yanked! He'll be lucky if that fine looking beast doesn't yank his arm out of socket trying to shake that meat loose from the fishing pole!

Personally, I like it. Well captured fun. And even if I didn't like it I wouldn't think it was nearly as annoying as everyone posting what they think should be POD. Get over it. Get over yourselves.

hund (Jun 17, 2010 at 1:52)

does there need to be actual big action in every POD?

lstanners (Jun 17, 2010 at 22:24)

That just made my afternoon. reminds me that I better take my Staffy for a walk when I get home... prob wont be doing that tho, that hunk of meat belongs in the slow cooker. Iron helps us play.

[Reply]

qpcr8tiv (Jun 17, 2010 at 6:36)

I think maybe the attempt was to portray the dog pulling the bike/rider by dangling a piece of meat in front of it. What's missing is a rope attached to the dog's harness and tied to the bike; and most importantly should have been on a trail as the backdrop instead of a parking lot at a rest stop on the side of a road. ehh Fail -- on many dimensions!!!

ezekiel (Jun 17, 2010 at 7:05)

...or its a picture of a guy playing with his dog while on his bike.
