whats he hated for? having a bit of fun after a earthquake?

bikeshavefeelings2 (Mar 11, 2011 at 1:26)

because they were saying it's disrespectful when it really is but not to me. He sold this pic to some U.S paper . (apparently)

I can see where people who dont like it are coming from, tbh I was a little suprised to see it myself. I think its good that he is making the most out of a bad situation, but perhaps taking pics of him having fun and sending them for the world to see was a bit pre-mature. Just my thought.

To be fair if you came across this in your home town, who wouldn't wanna try and boost the f*ck off it?

I rest my case.

ninjatarian (Apr 1, 2011 at 14:58)

Absolutely I would want to lol, and I would. I just wouldn't take a picture and publish it out the day after it happened, thats all.

i think its nice that he put out this picture, it shows people that they need to stay possitive and make the best out of their situation. having fun is the best way to make bad times feel better Wink

'Having fun is the best way to make bad times better'

How can you have fun when your house is gone, your toilet is a hole in the ground, your bed is a piece of foam, and your 'shower' is every 3 days, and isnt a shower but baby-wipes?

bikeshavefeelings2 (Apr 11, 2011 at 13:52)

SOO cool is he was wearing a helmet and got POD. they should just make it POD, it's inspiring too some.

yeah beat the guy down for having a positive outlook on a disaster.. sounds like he is a real crook.. (for all those who cant sense sarcasm.. here it is)

ANYONE who finds this disrespectful needs to sort their shit out. He went through the quake, just like the rest of us in CHCH. We ALL went out and took pictures of the damage. It would maybe be disrespectful if he flew over from somewhere, found it then used it for a cool shot, but Asher is a local, and it was a f*ckin crap day. Finding anything to have a bit more fun out of the situation was good. Chill out pussies

k2dan (Jun 13, 2011 at 17:45)

and that too

jedras (Dec 6, 2011 at 22:32)

The point of view of Phil-rider sounds reasonable and fair but whatever the nature serves, we still are too stupid to survive in several occasions across the planet and it's so human to keep the respect facing a tragedy or hearing a one of other nation.
It has been quite a while since the tragedy on Islands and one thing I dare to say is that the peaople living there are far enough from the word 'stupid" in my first sentence, to recover in such a short period of time.

This is great, why would people hate on him for not being all negative and depressed. I have plenty of respect for all the people affected by the disaster, but where did negativity ever get anyone?

thenickphipps (Apr 11, 2011 at 23:28)

Yeah man! This isn't being disrespectful, he took it and put it on the internet just because that's what you do when you take a photo, he had thousands of people asking to use it so that other people can see that nothing will bring us down here in Christchurch. What a top c*nt!

mattjamesb (Jul 29, 2011 at 6:51)

this is a sweet picture, him riding on the earthquake wreckage isnt making the situation any worse...people are just getting pissy because somebody is having some fun, fair enough its extremely harsh what happened, but a rider having some fun isnt doing ANY harm..hes not doing it to be disrespectful, is he? ice, maybe be a bit more sensetive with your comments in the future man..

nzbika (Apr 5, 2011 at 1:24)

looking forward to seeing some similar pics from Japan
hope everything will end safe there

Russell1994 (Mar 11, 2011 at 14:19)

I think things are bit too grave to get anything from Japan as the quake itself was 8000 times stronger, let alone the devastaing Tsunami! Would be far too disrespectful to do anything like this in Japan

jedras (Mar 12, 2011 at 8:45)

i know. that't just my sence of black humour

hermo44 (Dec 6, 2011 at 17:29)

I realllllly don't see any disrespect regardless of where the quake happens or what happened because the earthquake. The reality is that we live and ride on this planet, which happens to be made of plates that move, crack, break, uplift, compress, and pull apart all the time. That's just the cycle of our planet, nothing insulting or disrespectful there. I just see this picture as an extremely optimistic way of looking at a potentially occurrence, and nothing less.

hermo44 (Dec 6, 2011 at 17:33)

*potentially bad occurrence*** correction
