how does a pod get to be a pod? is there somewhere we all go to vote on them? does the process more resemble how a bill becomes a law or how a chicken is made? or the creation of the universe?

icklerachy (Nov 17, 2010 at 1:54)

That Lack Of Shine on the Hub really ruins this shot.... Wink

Only joking, Great pic man, I dont remember seeing an angle like this before. He does appear to have good bike control. =)

Was this set on zoom? ( Sorry if talking shit, I will openly admit I am not knowledgable on Cameras, just curious on how it was done)

Laue (Nov 17, 2010 at 8:40)

I have a minion on the front too. Corners super well, as demonstrated. +1 to j-brosky on the Maxxis ad. Great colors. Love the yellow, green and red subject back dropped by purple sky.

DeVo694 (Nov 17, 2010 at 19:43)

funny. i hate my minion.
has zero mid side bite.
doesn't roll fast.
self cleans well i guess.

+ 1

tetonlarry (Nov 17, 2010 at 20:48)

You are right about the mid side bite. However, that is what makes a Minion so sick for me. Drift, Drift, Drift, then a little more lean and Bite, Bite, Bite. Once you get used to it, it is very predictable, and you can drift or hook up whenever you choose depending on how far you lean your bike over in the turn.
