No need for the skater bashing... if it weren't for them most of these parks wouldn't have been built. Sick shot! sick stunt! props.

now thats how you do a transfer, this is dope! Looks like this skatepark has a perfect setup and was well thought through while building it!

Great shot but where's the style?

yeahbro (Nov 23, 2011 at 8:57)

Its a pretty good shot but in no way worthy of POD.

Even after reading the description i still feel the need to comment on the multiple telephone lines and dodgy horizon...
Sick trick, dont get me wrong but not POD for me.

I like reading the comments about all the pretty princesses crying that the phone lines are off.

Much much preferred over a dh pod anyday

yeahbro (Nov 24, 2011 at 8:48)

^is that a joke? you would rather have this poorly edited gay BMX POD over a sick DH pic!

pgripper (Nov 24, 2011 at 9:23)

Read the description.....not about the pic...appreciate the riding

beneathmiskin1 (Nov 24, 2011 at 19:53)

There's more solid evidence that Jesus existed than there is for Caesar having existed.

That being said, I am not in any way advocating any sort of religion of any type or form.

epavichthesavage (Nov 23, 2011 at 13:17)

lstanners ....Master Level Troll XD

BVM95 (Nov 23, 2011 at 13:18)

There is a fella that looks like Jesus by my house, he lives in an alley way like, still could be him?

robc10 (Nov 23, 2011 at 13:22)

i get called jesus on a bike because of my long hair haha

compaqnc6340 (Nov 23, 2011 at 18:05)

religion bashing/atheist bashing on a biking photo...i should think that's inappropriate, then i realize i'm on pinkbike

robc10 (Nov 23, 2011 at 18:07)

What ?

compaqnc6340 (Nov 23, 2011 at 18:08)

if you must know i was making an example of istanners comment, for it was quite disrespectful, and totally irrelevant to the photo. but that's typical of pinkbike pod comments lol

epavichthesavage (Nov 23, 2011 at 19:31)

most people in the 21st century should be evolved enough to move past religion and take a joke, put I guess not. Why is this still filling my inbox

luckynugget (Nov 23, 2011 at 19:37)

LMFAO I love pinkbike.

compaqnc6340 (Nov 23, 2011 at 19:38)

@epavichthesavage god you sound so narrow minded, live and let live, or put simply for you, stop being a douche

dhabartrider11 (Nov 23, 2011 at 20:20)

Gods fake ancient word for alien, yes....i believe in aliens. How getting back to TOPIC, awesome photo wish i could do that. I'm changing the topic don't start going off on aliens how people, leave them alone

epavichthesavage (Nov 23, 2011 at 22:06)

compaqnc6340 you sound pretty butt hurt religious boy XD. "live and let live" , your hypocrisy is amusing

compaqnc6340 (Nov 24, 2011 at 4:42)

how am i being a hypocrite? you're just being a goof and insulting my religion. what's the need to mock religion? this really isn't the place. oh and bravo, "religious boy" must be the nickname of the year

epavichthesavage (Nov 24, 2011 at 9:56)

BREATH AND CALM DOWN.

compaqnc6340 (Nov 24, 2011 at 17:11)

i'm perfectly calm.... i just don't quite understand why you're being so rude about religion, it's a personal choice and if you choose not to believe in it then i'm fine with that, but i don't like when people mock something i believe in, and please don't think i'm some crazy extremist bible thumper because i'm not

BVM95 (Nov 27, 2011 at 6:10)

But really, I'm being serious... I am Jesus.

Sick 360! Having people give feedback on a photographers work is the best way to grow as a photog. Being harsh and acting like a dick doesn't accomplish much but make you look like a douche. Congrats on POD

[Reply]

mtberforlife (Nov 23, 2011 at 20:13)

sick shot but the sequence is not pod worthy,not very well put together unless it was done on paint... I've used adobe photoshop 5 and done better without camera on a tripod (dono if this was from a tripod but just sayin)

[Reply]

NickHansen (Nov 23, 2011 at 7:38)

I live in PG been to the skatepark lots and i have NEVER seen someone 3 that so clean. Mad Props Bro!! Nice to see a POD from PG!

[Reply]

p1rid4r (Nov 23, 2011 at 14:31)

goingggg bigg mann, but deffo not worthy of pod, maybe if there was a train or maybe if it was off a 60ft drop in the desert....

[Reply]

powerline (Nov 23, 2011 at 13:19)

i suppose this pod is more about the riding and not the quatily of the shot .....

pgripper (Nov 23, 2011 at 19:23)

I also agree. Like i said in the description i messed the sequence up by moving or bumping the camera. This pod is more about the riding, im just glad i was able to take a picture of it.

powerline (Nov 24, 2011 at 23:58)

Unless you use a tripod your going to get some edges like that . There's a trick to fixing the edges , after you get a layer in postion you just take the eraser tool on a low setting and blend the edges into the background . For that 4th frame where hes looking away from us to fix that just completely erase everything underneath the bike on that layer leaving nothing but him and the sky and bam its fixed . Iv been making sequences for years without a tripod I just hold the camera still and use the eraser trick and they turn out pretty good . Your picture is totally fixable yet , just needs some eraser lovin Smile

this could be a better sequence, just align the phone lines and itll be golden pony boy status.

Your an Idiot. Prince George has many diverse trails for downhill mtb ( Cranny, Pidherny etc..) Cant believe you would judge a city on its smell. Maybe i could say Duncan sucks because it smells like horse crap. Get a life and stop beaking a city who has lots of pride in their riders and riding.
