Good pic, would have been much better to show him mid-jump on his way off that thing! I think the assumption of his hopping down is what we are supposed to see? Have to agree with jbike101, PB is trying too hard for diversity. IMHO can't please all the people all the time.

I dont know why people think this shouldnt be POD...

I think it should be! day after day its always freeriding/DH racing (which still looks really sick) but after a while it does begin to get a bit boring. Its always nice and refreshing to see new things like BMX and Trials.

So I say awesome shot and awesome job hope to see another one!

takes balls? I think not, big wide stone goes up there does a 'pop-a-wheelie' hold back break buddy takes picture. Lets it down and climbs back down. Now if he dropped off there on the bike with that trial bike he'd have balls. Not pod worthy.
