Great pic, love the flag

 Think it's awesome Stevie got a Podium! Especially on home soil!

 smith doing it for the commonwealth

 Thats just light catching up with him...nice shot

 Steve smith is a f*ckin champ!

 The union jack just makes this pic!
he looks fast though!

 dont worry guys some day bmx and dj guys will be as cool and pod worthy as dh..... they just have to start ridin dh

 too bad the flag isnt a canadian one... would make the picture even better!

 sereously you guys keep bemanding for BMX POD's and barley any of them are good then you bash on on DH when the the pic is actaually good

 brett yur an idiot

 sweeet

 Nice POD I would like it more if the camera wasnt so close, but its just personal preference. Good work

 i agree a bit of change in the PODs would be nice but we all know how rare a bmx pods are mainly because all of them refuse to wear helmets. but since its just been the world champs, i think its fair to say that DH pods are agreeable.

 ...its the Union Jack. Not a Canadian flag...

 Why do people care what gets pod, we cant decide so theres no use complaining, eventualy you just stop caring

 yep i-ride-dmr , i just see POD as a photo that i don't need to go into the photo section to view and get on with my life

 POD is only decided by which photo gets the most faves in one day. it might not be the best, but more people have been arsed to fave it than any other. and since there is blatantly more DH'ers and freeriders on pinkbike, its obviously going to be heavily weighted. i love dh, but i also think dj is sick. bmx however, just looks like your adult on a kiddies bike, however awesome the tricks you can do are...

 wrong it has nothing to do with faves, spoiledgoods etc picks em, he used this power to advertise a bike he was selling being used

 I agree for the flash in the background, but it still a great picture!

 DEgenerationX of course people neg propped you for that, we canadians take that shit seriously man. and sweet pic

 i think its so great how everyone at my school makes fun of canada...which is a lot like america only better...what dumbasses.

 haha i have that exact same strip off shimano tape i rippped off on that line

 degenerationx, bro i was born and spent a lot of my childhood in denmark, i may live in canada now, but you would think if you registered on a canadian website you would at least have some knowledge of what a canadian flag looks like

 i know how a canadian flag look like just said i wrote wrong because some people wrote it should be a canadian flag... read all my comments f*ckhead...

 dmr, yes it is to do with faves...

 EPIC!

 Pics or it didn't happen!

 It so happened.

 Sweet cast! Hope you heal well and heal with the quickness!

 no, keep it broke!

 I agree as I would match the jersey.^^

 agree!!!

 well thank you

 never XD its to awsome

 well that would mean taking down the aussie and kiwi flags down too and we dont want that

 nuke that rebellious colony that has somehow become the root of all evil

 bighucker503: If you get enough people with comments like yours, maybe you could end up with no UCI races again for a long time.

 I trust your talking to "bigfu*ker503" and not "Rigaud". If you are I kind of agree with you..

 well rigaud is canadian so he wont be reffering to him

 What are you talking about??? Pick up a book kiddo...

 Hey Richie, I read a book that told me that you'd be living under a mostly red flag and probably not allowed to post on this site under Kim Jong-Il if it weren't for US help in the '50's.

And to all you Brits that pos propped DanB25, ...suck it! Seriously, pos propping anyone who says "nuke" anyone, not acceptable. So what? We rebelled and told the crown to eat a d***, get over it. After all we've done for you since you'd think there would be a little love. BTW, Vermonster, GTFO! You are no longer welcome here. I renounce your citizenship Mr. Benedict Arnold.

On that note, bighucker503, shut it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people showing a bit of national pride at an international competition. Grow up. Why wouldn't you have the balls to tell Mr. Smith there to take that Maple Leaf off of his jersey? Probably from the fear that the crazy Canadians aren't that far from your border and they probably fight better than you (seriously, you ever watch hockey?).

And finally, to everyone else, quit with the nation hatin'!!! Isn't this site supposed to be about BIKING? An international brotherhood bonded by the love of a sport? Leave the politics to the other sites for cryin' out loud, there are plenty of 'em.

Sweet capture by any scale. Congrats Phunkt! Nice ridin' Steve.

 that would be Korea

 Sentinel. quite the rant you had there, but i don't think anyone really cares too much about any of that, and don't forget that those things weren't part of our generations. and sarcasm doesn't read well on the web page. other than that. yea that pod is the shit. and bmx is kinda lame.

 i kinda agree with rockhopper, but quite a lot of what sentinel said was good.

 sentinel13 i totally agree with you, the racism on this site is getting way to out of hand

 to true and biking is one of the best communites out there
just the other day i snapped ma chain and two guys i had never met before stopped and fixed it for me free of charge, now lests not get racisom involved

 at the end of the day america is pretty shit really isn't it

and thats xenophobia not racism

 meh arguable

canda has wistler but then again the us open looks fun XD
but britan awsome for biking
fort william
ae
innerleithen
forest of dean all of em sexy

but america is huge must be some good trails there unless its just a waste of space like the artic

 yeah, but the artic is literally just some ice. america is a mass of fat people.
sorry to be unpatriotic, but whistler kicks fort william ae and inner's ass by its self.

 yea obviosly but still they are pretty legendary the step down at ae is like the blue route at wistler
and we are kinda the best at biking to be modest
the athertons and steve peat! and many others i cant remember

 yep 4 Britons in the top 8 in world champs! and the stepdown looks a lot smaller in pictures, doesnt it?

 yea other countrys just face it we are back XD we lost the empire but we are coming back via a back door.
yea step down looks smaller in the pics but hurts like f*ck when you fall off.

 oh, you fell off it..? so glad i haven't. worst injury i've seen while biking was when a paraglider flew into the side of a van.. so funny.

 haha yea i fell off and disolcated shoulder tore all ligiments in both ankles and was cocused
(didnt know how to spell half of that)

 shiyttt.. not good. better now tho?

 yea but ankles give me greif alot. and i had an excuse to get my lovely demo seeing as the peice of shit i was riding (dunno what it was) died

 sigma 8mm

 yah ur right mann!

 it was thanks
