 not a fan either... too much vignetting and not a particularly awesome angle.

 I'm not seeing any sort of trail, so I assume he's bush wacking?

 Those forks? don't you mean "that fork"?
  • 68 6
 i'm tired of seeing people bitching about whether the pod deserves to be pod or not, it is pod, so suck it up and deal with it, theres always a new one tomorrow, complaining accomplishes absolutely nothing. This is an awesome shot, great lighting too!

 I'm tired of seeing people bitch about people bitching. But hey, I get over it.

 HAHAHA SUCH A CLEVER COMMENT!! why do you comment like 3 times on every pod? you need to go ride your bike

 Whe white balance needs (slight) correction, too much green. The vignetting is distracting. Editing isn't great IMO.
Lighting is ok, coulda used a longer exposure though.
Get the obstacle into view! what exactly is making that fork bottom out? We can't really see it.
Good photo, but there is room for improvement IMO

 very cropped too, but i suppose that can't be helped in some situations... but still... the nikon d3 is a pro body, why does this photo look so... un sharp?

Probably pinkbike doing that

 because your stating the obvious... which is also now wrong, considering the average proppage of his comments across this photo is around +10:P

 This picture is not POD because of the action taking place, but the setting. I have seen putting greens less lush than this, it's just sooo green! Very well composed pic, shopped or not, looks awesome!

 sweet, could be abit more extreme tho..
  • 1 0
 that's more extreme then it looks! his front forks are bottoming and he hasn't even dropped or rolled off that rock yet! Beautiful colors, the temperate rain forest is soo beautiful and unique. And the photographer captured the beautie quite well.

 loving the 30 inch bars on the all mountain rig. super dope picture too
  • 1 0
 those are ridiculously wide bars. I didn't even notice.
  • 1 0
 Every mountain bike should have bars that wide. Seriously, try it. So much more control. I put 29.5 bars on my girlfriends cross country bike, and she loves it. She is also a much better/faster rider because of it. It actually makes her Specialized Pitch fun for me to ride too. I will never ride with bars narrower than 28 inches for the rest of my life.
  • 1 0
 30"? Look again. I figured he couldn't find any 38" so the 36" would have to do. They're so wide he's can't stay centered on the bike.
  • 1 0
 thanks for the technical advice.. i use 29.5" bars.. I'm a fan.
  • 1 0
 Yeah, you are right. His bars definitely look wider than 30. Maybe too wide. There is a happy medium. I think it occurs between 28 and 31 inches depending on rider size, and style. Obviously less for really small riders, kids, and dirtjump bikes.

 sorry, is it just me or does it seem like the guy doesnt know how to lift the front end of his bike?

 hahaha that what I was thinking too. Great shot though, Very lush, kinda Gnary, zennish moment, POD why not?
  • 1 1
 No, it looks like he's slowly navigating the crux of a slippery tech rock roll so he doesn't overshoot and nose-case it.

 Sometimes it's just nice to see someone riding though. No race, no crazy tricks just a lush trail. Personally these photos get me the most stoked to ride.

 dude thats soo sick

 sick,you cant get anything close to this in the states, nice shot!

 Just a reminder... The western part of Washington State is only about half-an-hour south of Vancouver. We've got very similar terrain, geology and flora. How about this picture? Doesn't look that different from the 'shore. www.pinkbike.com/photo/3012937

 but bc is 5x bigger then washington and there are tails every where and theres 5 or 6 bike resorts
  • 3 0
 How many tails are there?
  • 4 2
 I think the point is that the original comment "you cant get anything close to this in the states" is completely false. There are many trails in Oregon and Washington that look exactly like this. Does BC have a better bike scene, and more riding options than the U.S? Yes, I definitely think so. But we do still have sick trails, just not as many of them. Our trails are also spread around the country, but the only good riding I've heard of in Canada is in BC. Correct me if I'm wrong. The U.S. will eventually have a much better riding scene than Canada, we just have too many stupid organized sports to distract people who would grow up to be sick bikers if their fathers didn't push them into football and basketball.

 How quickly people forget places like Black Rock and Post Canyon in Oregon as well. Tyson, maybe you should try riding here before commenting on what "isn't here." Rolleyes
