Daniel Pfeifer at RideUnderRoof in Stuttgart, Germany - photo by Laue

Photo of the Day on Jun 9, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Sterling Lorence - If your going to use some terrain in the foreground for depth, contrast, and storytelling this is a good example of it working. Besides the solid action and lighting, the chain makes this image worthy, especially that it was lit to make it balance out with the rider.

I agree with "whatisthisbox". There have been many times when I am reading an article and a sentence could have been worded differently to make it flow better, or what is worse is when the punctuation is incorrect or the worst offender, when a word is plain old miss-spelled. This is what publications such as pinkbike have editors for. Not to mention the invention of a little thing called spell-check. Not that I am an English major or anything, on the contrary I have a G.E.D. so come on pinkbike, do a bit better, please. Or I'll have my English teacher of a mother come down and tutor you for my own sanity.

^ OR... you could just forget about it and move on with your life.

Axemen30 (Jun 9, 2011 at 21:56)

i use the spelling "your" in school all the time Razz

and auto correct does not say its wrong either. and Kenji-n-d-hills. you wasted your time typing that little paragraph out. because no one gives a shit haha. but anyway , sick picture love the chains in it , very creative

hey kenji, the period goes inside the parentheses.

RonaldWeazley (Jun 9, 2011 at 23:50)

We don't care Kenji; "don't" being the operative word Big Grin

whatisthisbox Plus (Jun 10, 2011 at 9:45)

@Axemen30 - the reason why spell check does not correct "your" is because it is possessive (eg your spelling mistake), however "you're" is the short way of saying you are (eg you're an idiot)

Axemen30 (Jun 10, 2011 at 21:58)

@ "the teacher" ^ no one cares about spelling. this is a biking website. so gtfo with the spell checks no one cares. go find something else to do with ur life

I like this pic A LOT but i would of taken one strand of chain and the lock out of the pic... it makes to look to busy and distracting to me..

damo667 (Jun 9, 2011 at 13:56)

true!.. I was thinking the same.. distracts from the rider a little.. awsome idea though.. just needs a littletweaking.. Smile

idk why but i dont really like pics of tailwhips. sorta just looks like they jumping off.

Klamber (Jun 9, 2011 at 3:27)

Or maybe it's just, that you can't do tailwhips? C'mon, jumping off and tailwhiping look totally different.
