Matt Miles at Kamloops Bike Ranch in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada - photo by Silviafilms

Photo of the Day on Jun 8, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Sterling Lorence - Style points for sure, nice flatty one-footer, and equal props to the photographer for gettin in close with the camera. Nice try getting the flare of the sun involved...would have been ultra sick if the the helmet blocked it a bit more, it would reduce the blown out sky. The terrain, trails and stunts in the Kamloops Bike Park are amazing.

I Love Blue Dot

And i really don't think the helmet position can get any better. It would be nearly impossible so extra props to photographer for getting it just right!

KTownRoyster (Jun 15, 2011 at 21:44)

all i see is the classic/basic tabletop. most cases your foot will automatically come off the bottom pedal. i wouldn't call it an intentional one-footer.

rhiwfawrdirt (Jun 8, 2011 at 0:40)

Is that a kona bass?

ScottPattenden (Jun 8, 2011 at 1:12)

Naa looks more like a Dartmoor Shine, or Black Market Killswitch.

dom69foco (Jun 8, 2011 at 1:29)

i think kona bass! you can see the white rocker

olaffons (Jun 8, 2011 at 3:10)

Yes,it's Kona Bass.

Maksimbike (Jun 8, 2011 at 13:51)

Scott look again, both of those bikes do not have a pivot in the middle of the frame like that.

theriotact (Jun 8, 2011 at 17:04)

thats definately a bass bb/pivot

dom69foco (Jun 9, 2011 at 2:43)

alright i think he gets the picture!

ScottPattenden (Jun 10, 2011 at 4:11)

cheapbike (Jun 8, 2011 at 2:47)

What's with all the Low-res pods? Yes, this picture is beautiful and it deserves pod. However, the resolution is much to low to enjoy it as anything other than a profile picture for facebook or something. It's too low-res to print off and too low res to use as a desktop background. If this photo was from a 5mp source (2560x1920) then it could actually be used as a background.

+ 17

Tyler138 (Jun 8, 2011 at 3:10)

Maybe the photographer doesn't want this stolen or printed so a low res would prevent this yet still show off the image.

TomMurphy (Jun 8, 2011 at 3:17)

Perfect POD.

paulclarke (Jun 8, 2011 at 20:53)

What tyler138 said..... Sterling doesn't make money taking photos for a living by making sure that everyone on PB can use his photos as their desktop backgrounds... ???

cheapbike (Jun 9, 2011 at 3:19)

That makes sense, but shouldn't a link be in order then? It's pretty pointless to advertise your awesomeness if you're not going to do anything with it. (Yes, there is a facebook page as well, but if I was trying to market my work, I'd make damn sure that people would have a website or blog to go to with a link in the description.)

paulclarke (Jun 9, 2011 at 16:26)

Ya i guess, dont know much about the photographer...
