Draggon (Mar 12, 2012 at 8:21)

Hey warhorsey, do you need a hug?

jamesburnett95 (Mar 12, 2012 at 11:33)

downhillers never like seeing any xc or dj pods theyr just so negative to the sport i think :/

compaqnc6340 (Mar 12, 2012 at 14:05)

wickedly sick winter pod but...can't wait for some muddy n dusty ones, the season's just around the corner!

OliScale (Mar 12, 2012 at 21:13)

andrew taylor can you just stop with your persistent failure of funny comments?

Andrew-Taylor (Mar 12, 2012 at 21:48)

How about you shut up and stop tearing down my self esteem. Thank you.

OllyJ (Dec 1, 2010 at 6:20)

Did he ride that out? O.o

robinkitchin (Dec 1, 2010 at 6:41)

He did, and you'll notice that from the tilt of my shot it is under-exaggerating how railed he was...mistake on my part, props on Sam's!

OllyJ (Dec 1, 2010 at 10:50)

fair play that man!!!

spaced (Mar 12, 2012 at 8:01)

Strange. His front wheel is tilted a bit much but yeah. He's got some skil.

StinkyKieran (Mar 12, 2012 at 14:24)

nik110 (Dec 22, 2010 at 15:01)

You should probably get closer to the ground. I don't think you're close enough right now. lol

[Reply]

charleyboy14 (Mar 13, 2011 at 13:09)

Like this allot Rob, For some really strange reason the fence adds to it (you would think it would detract from the image)

robinkitchin (Mar 14, 2011 at 2:07)

Thanks. I wouldn't think the fence would detract from the shot...hence the framing )

[Reply]

lstanners (Mar 12, 2012 at 1:43)

Look out for that fence dude! or is the theory to stay that low and simply ride under it?!?!
