Photo of the Day on Feb 16, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Colin Meagher - Great amplitude on the rider, great use of backlighting, and precise capture of "the" moment in this whip. Amazing how crisp the action is, too, considering that this image was shot at 1/200 sec.

guy38 (Feb 16, 2011 at 0:59)

now all they need is someone from the pb team to put the little comment under the vods and pb is set

usb-rider (Feb 16, 2011 at 1:43)

Great pod,I like how pinkbike now explains why it got pod which should stop anyone saying "no pod Worthy".♫♪

killacali (Feb 16, 2011 at 1:46)

^^^yes yes and yes

Nice to see that spring has arrived in Lymington. Still feels very wintery in London. Standard shot - that standard being very high! Love it!

spoonyman (Feb 16, 2011 at 2:36)

Two things:

Upside down letters have definitely been played out... Except for flips, where they're clearly appropriate Razz

And something about boost!

jbike101 (Feb 16, 2011 at 6:02)

it said POD on the bottom this time... got scared there for a second, very worthy POD tup

I wish pb would make an iphone/ipod touch or droid app that has pod and vod right at my finger tips without browsing to it everyday. please :-)

spoonyman (Feb 16, 2011 at 4:02)

IanHylands Mod Plus (Feb 16, 2011 at 9:36)

I suggest then that you donate the $20-30,000 to have such an app made and we'll arrange it Wink

spoonyman (Feb 16, 2011 at 12:02)

Get some graduate developers who would be grateful to have any job and the cost would be down to $100 Razz

And more seriously:

The suggestion I linked to above would cost about $5-10 (and that's an accurate estimate) - based on the assumption you already have photoshop*!

1) Find a simple PB logo - one that will look good small
2) Save as a 120 x 120 png called apple-touch-icon.png
3) Move it to pinkbike's root directory

Now when people bookmark pb to their home screen on iOS it will find the icon rather than a tiny screen cap of the site!

(apparently iOS adds a glossy effect to your image so bear this in mind whilst editing)

*or any other image editing suite for that matter!

IanHylands Mod Plus (Feb 16, 2011 at 13:19)

awesome suggestion, I'll make sure the web guys see it! thanks!

i saw a pretty nice edit with this guy and a whole other bunch of EZO riders on youtube... just look up "dirtjump edit" and click on the one that says "EZO WHO?" it starts off strange and then they throw down some pretty serious stuff

charleyboy14 (Feb 14, 2011 at 11:14)

like this allot but 1 thing i would change to make it better would be to remove the branch closest to the rider (on the left) it just distracts your eye

samanslow (Feb 14, 2011 at 13:06)

oh lol...

Axemen30 (Feb 16, 2011 at 0:02)

no it doesnt? ur high

xenophile (Feb 16, 2011 at 7:01)

I agree that the branch in the foreground (left) is distracting.

Oscarmonk (Feb 16, 2011 at 13:59)

its is a bit but still a sick shot Big Grin
