sorry but this pic may well be bright, detailed and all the rest....but it looks quite blurred and out of focus in places...im not saying i could do any better, as i clearly could not, and im not saying its a bad picture..but because there are so many new pictures coming onto this site daily, i would have thought that the best picture, picture of the day, would be truely amazing or atleast clear, aswell as bright, colourful, detailed etc...not entirely sure its worth that POD status, but its a good pic anyway and congrats on POD.

epicmountainvideo (Oct 20, 2010 at 10:12)

the rider is crispy as shit, i imagine motion blur is intential, gives a real sensation of speed and shows you that he was doing an accurate pan with his shot , nice work mate

mtb1stdegree (Oct 20, 2010 at 11:55)

Q. Why is your Mamma like a mountain bike?
A. 1. You have to keep pumping if you want to get anywhere.

2. It's best to wear protective head-gear when going into unfamiliar territory.

3. You can do it with no hands, but it's best not to try it until you have a lot of experience.

4. It's easier to learn with the help of someone who has a lot of experience.

5. You can do it by yourself, but it's usually not as much fun.

6. It's usually hard to control your speed the first few times you try.

7. It's best to have a soft place to land.

8. You don't need any special clothing, but you can get some if you are really into it.

9. If you're with someone who is having trouble keeping up, it's usually best to slow down and wait for them.

10. Most people think it looks easy until they try it for the first time.

11. Once you learn, you never forget how.

12. If you fall off get right back on.

13. If you get a flat, try pumping it back up.

14. Remember to signal before you change direction.

15. Make sure that you've got a firm grip.

16. Sometimes it's nice to have a cushy seat.

17. Once you're over the top, you can just coast the rest of the way.
