Dustin Greenall at dreamland in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada - photo by dgreenall

Photo of the Day on May 23, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Ian Hylands - More into the evening sun shooting fun, I like how it almost looks like he's kicking the sun... The flare creates a really nice diagonal down the bottom right, and Dustins position and trick in this shot are perfect. Only thing I don't like about this is the fence and buildings in the background, otherwise this is one of the sickest dirt jump shots I've seen in quite a while...

I thought it looked familiar...

jk-mrdck420 (May 23, 2011 at 8:19)

why did it get pod twice..?
not that its not a sick pic...

butt idk seems like someone got lazy..

cydaps (May 23, 2011 at 8:21)

Yeah, great pic an' all, but come on pinkbike, you'll have to check the POD archives so you don't double POD pics!

+ 13

IanHylands Mod Plus (May 23, 2011 at 9:02)

My fault and I apologize. There is no way to check the POD archives other than to look through the pages one by one and I've done that once going back several months, it takes a long time. This photo was uploaded twice, I'd never seen the other one. When I looked at this it had only a few thousand views and it didn't say it had been POD on it. One good reason why we don't like people to double post images...

dishboy14 Mod Plus (May 23, 2011 at 9:35)

Seems like Dustin took it off my account and posted it to his account......

cydaps (May 23, 2011 at 12:39)

Ouch, that's a LOT of work Ian, no worries it's still an awesome pic, and Pinkbike rocks! Smile

katinasd (Sep 27, 2010 at 11:10)

luckynumber13 (Oct 4, 2010 at 19:25)

Andrew-Taylor (May 23, 2011 at 8:12)

Pinkbikes second duplicate POD, wow.

JHewitt (May 23, 2011 at 8:43)

there have been quite a few repeat ones

IanHylands Mod Plus (May 23, 2011 at 9:03)

@JHewitt can you tell me which ones? It's something we need to avoid but it's sometimes difficult to do with different people posting the same pic.

D1rtJumper (May 23, 2011 at 9:35)

Just from the top of my head, there was that one of I think Frankie vass doing a barspin out of a quarter over a railing.

IanHylands Mod Plus (May 23, 2011 at 11:31)

That's great to know, any besides that?

katinasd (May 24, 2011 at 3:11)

This shot you can make pod any week for me haha. So good.

JHewitt (May 24, 2011 at 10:23)

Sorry I cant remember the exact ones, I've just seen them here and there... its always in the comments. A few were from a couple of years ago though. Only around 5 or so though.

IanHylands Mod Plus (Sep 26, 2010 at 20:04)

Gets my vote for a Pod, would be nice to see it a little bigger than 800px though... Sick photo, sick trick!

connerkuhns Plus (May 23, 2011 at 0:14)

2nd time being POD! was pod on someone else's account, im assuming the photog's account

jaketinnelly (May 23, 2011 at 1:33)

Ian, http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/5507703/

alexdjer93 (May 23, 2011 at 2:43)

yup second time..

IanHylands Mod Plus (May 23, 2011 at 11:32)

Yes, my fault and I apologize. There is no way to check the POD archives other than to look through the pages one by one and I've done that once going back several months, it took a long time and it's very hard to remember every single POD. This photo was uploaded twice, I'd never seen the other one. When I looked at this it had only a few thousand views and it didn't say it had been POD on it. One good reason why we don't like people to double post images...

connerkuhns Plus (May 23, 2011 at 12:20)

i hear that.. awhile back pinkbike posted an article about the 5 millionth picture being uploaded (www.pinkbike.com/photo/5000000)
