psyickphuk (Jul 28, 2010 at 7:27)

What this pic doesn't show is how sketchy the take off and run out are... I look at this line everytime I'm at Cwm Carn and have yet to man up and hit it - nice one mate!

fozwillis (Jul 28, 2010 at 12:46)

i looked at this last time i was there it was wet and raining i thought better of it really want to jump this next time , wicked photo and far play to the dude that jumped it.....

cyrix (Jul 28, 2010 at 19:11)

How is it a mod or admin hasn't dealt with dirtjumper yet... I love what PB is becoming /s

Shred-NZ (Jul 28, 2010 at 20:06)

Because the only place mods care about is in the forums where people have debates that are slightly off topic in a thread and they instantly bitch about it and lock it.

seraph (Jul 28, 2010 at 1:20)

Uninspiring. No style, like a dead weight in the air. Good photograph, but bad form.

trialstar111 (Jul 28, 2010 at 5:01)

disagree; how can you call that a dead weight? surely he's stylin?! the thing with wales is that it's tiny! there is barely enough room to swing a cat anywhere in wales! respect to GB crew!

seraph (Jul 28, 2010 at 10:26)

You're welcome to disagree, but that's my opinion. There have been far better PODs.

darrenh (Jul 28, 2010 at 12:13)

@seraph - you're obviously far too cool for school if you can't appreciate this photo. Please inspire us all to go ride by posting a pic of yourself showing us how it's done.

seraph (Jul 28, 2010 at 12:26)

Everyone simmer down. I'm allowed to express my opinion, that's why they allow comments on the photos. Not once did I say I could ride better than the person in this photo. I simply said that I didn't like the POD.

touchie137 (Jul 28, 2010 at 13:13)

well if you can't ride better shut up

seraph (Jul 28, 2010 at 13:35)

Thanks for the suggestion, but no thanks.

slwracer (Jul 30, 2010 at 22:24)

seraph wants to prove that he's a better rider than that dude in the picture.

nuff' said.

seraph (Jul 31, 2010 at 0:11)

I think it's more like "slwracer wants to prove he's a bigger douche bag than anyone." Consider your point proven.

slwracer (Jul 31, 2010 at 3:30)

seraph, you talk like my ex, you remind me of her...

seraph (Jul 31, 2010 at 9:23)

She must have been a great guy.

slwracer (Jul 31, 2010 at 14:43)

i have to admit youre pretty good with insults.
but you should walk the talk first.

go out and caress your precious carbon nomad.
show us some moves, you poser.
and dont forget to take pics, seraph. ha ha ha

you're pathetic.

seraph (Jul 31, 2010 at 15:01)

You're a funny girl.

mtbfunfunfun (Jul 28, 2010 at 6:40)

I'd have entered wide to the left, pressed, leaned, drifted a bit, sloshed into the bottom with the inside line floating over the chatter (2 meters UNDER the rider in the photo)...and I think to myself..."YEAH,dude! I rule!"

What I LOVE about this photo is it reminds me of two things: 1) Just how DEEP mountain biking skill and possibility is and 2) what a f**king p**sy I still am. Cool.
