Łukasz Baran at Kraków in weeze, Poland - photo by weeze

Photo of the Day on Jul 2, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Ian Hylands - I really like the speed that this shows. The 1/200th shutter and the camera movement create a really nice pan blur, and the flash helps to keep the rider nicely frozen. The little puff of dust off his rear tire also leads really nicely into the sunlit bit of trail behind him.

weeze (Jul 2, 2011 at 5:39)

Yes, http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6183520/

hell yeah! great to see a hardtail rippin Big Grin

xxslopestylerider9x (Jul 2, 2011 at 6:39)

such a dope pic! Plus clicking on weeze's link it shows how light this rig looks. I wonder how much it weighs! It must weigh at least 10 pounds less than that of a full suspension dh rig.

JamisJammer95 (Jul 2, 2011 at 7:03)

SWOOSH!!! I bet he was REALLY haulin' the mail when the photographer snapped this shot.

JesseBMXs (Jul 2, 2011 at 12:21)

damn, you really get a sense of how fast hes going in this shot tup

hankyman (Jul 2, 2011 at 14:30)

hardtails forever!

bikeracer28 (Jul 2, 2011 at 16:39)

his rims look like aero rims. great pic

PLC07 (Jul 2, 2011 at 17:47)

@xxslopestylerider9x the bike weights 23,32 pounds. That's like 20 pounds less than the average DH rig out there.

mgoodwin713 (Jul 2, 2011 at 23:56)

I agree hardtails all the way, unless you are planning some serious drops. Way more control as long as you know how to use it. Great POD!

JesseBMXs (Jul 3, 2011 at 0:50)

hahahah how did i get neg prop'd?

xxslopestylerider9x (Jul 3, 2011 at 11:24)

PLC07 thanks for that, I knew it was going to be more than just 10 pounds, I just didnt want to overexagerate and get neg propped a shit load.

PLC07 (Jul 3, 2011 at 12:25)

Who cares if you get neg propped. It's easy to be brave and neg prop people in the comfort of your mom's basement when you'll most likely never ever meet those who neg propped you. It's not like getting positive or negative props has any relevance in the end, it's useless. Most people forgot about the post 2 days later anyway.

JesseBMXs (Jul 3, 2011 at 15:01)

nahh man i wasnt gettin mad, btw i dont live in my moms basement im 15 and live in the house with my own room

xxslopestylerider9x (Jul 3, 2011 at 17:27)

JesseBMXs pretty much said the same exact thing as what I was going to say.

JesseBMXs (Jul 3, 2011 at 18:07)

^what living not living in the basement? or how you got neg prop'd?

xxslopestylerider9x (Jul 4, 2011 at 5:21)

i dont live in my moms basement im 15 and live in the house with my own room

PLC07 (Jul 4, 2011 at 12:57)

Wow you guys are grown ups then... grown ups with ZERO reading comprehension skills.

JesseBMXs (Jul 4, 2011 at 18:24)

^ i love how people always assume that because we said something stupid, that means were middle age men that live in the basement. kinda stupid if you ask me

tom-cuthbert (Jul 4, 2011 at 18:32)

Give it rest for christ sakes, no one wants to hear your stupid 15 year old argument.

xxslopestylerider9x (Jul 4, 2011 at 18:36)

I know right? hes acting like he's younger than me and JesseBMXs for godsake

rippin-norco (Jul 4, 2011 at 19:14)

To be honest, there is no indications that PLC07 is older then anyone, he doesn't have any pictures or videos that proves that he is A. Older then 15 or B. That he rides atall.

JesseBMXs (Jul 5, 2011 at 0:10)

xxslopestylerider9x, what did i do wrong? people always jump to conclusions. well im done
have a nice day

xxslopestylerider9x (Jul 5, 2011 at 5:55)

dude you didnt do anything wrong were just both 15 and the guys shiting on us thats all. I'm also done with this, beccause it has no relevance to the photo and its just straight up a waste of everyones time in this case.

JesseBMXs (Jul 5, 2011 at 21:17)

yah i agree

PLC07 (Jul 7, 2011 at 16:17)

You guys are really f*cking dense. You got A.D.D. or something? I meant it's easy to neg prop when you're anonymous so you two shouldn't worry about it but you still act all offended that I called you names when I wasn't even referring to you in the first place. How many times have you failed first grade reading already?

rippin-norco (Jul 7, 2011 at 17:23)

I dun goh to skewl bukuz i am a badazz

bikeracer28 (Jul 7, 2011 at 20:48)

ive read through every comment in this string and cant find anywhere that anybody got neg propped accept jammisjammer95 and he isnt even in the argument. i think the majority of the people that are getting 2 to 3 notifications on their dash a day are pretty fed up with your not photo related ranting, as am i. im gonna be the mature one here and ask you guys to please stop.

rippin-norco (Jul 8, 2011 at 0:57)

I respect that, so im out.

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jul 2, 2011 at 7:53)

@shredder117 I'm not sure how you can look at one of Jacek's photos that is POD and say that I don't pick his photos as POD?

FetusOven (Jul 2, 2011 at 12:06)

Ian.. I think he was saying that you don't pick your own photos as POD anymore...

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jul 2, 2011 at 17:34)

Well, we have other people that pick POD's every now and then, they can pick mine if they want Wink

shredder117 (Jul 2, 2011 at 20:45)
