Cody Warren and Lauren Daney at Diablo Freeride Park in Vernon, New Jersey, United States - photo by IanHylands

Photo of the Day on Jun 10, 2011 - more PODs

Selected by Tyler Maine - Really this is just a sick shot and it was Lauren that set up the shot. She told Cody to high five her on this jump, so he made that happen and Ian captured the moment = team work = POD!

I feel really bad for girls who race and are known of because they get so much unecessary attention and people creep so hard. I see Lauren and Cierra Smith get the worst of it.

mcurran (Jun 2, 2011 at 17:16)

if they dont want the attention they shouldn't be so good looking, they only have themselves to blame frankly

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jun 14, 2011 at 7:06)

DanB25 that's got to be one of the most retarded comments I've read on Pinkbike on a while. Really you think that it's a girls fault that people make stupid comments because she's good looking? That's seriously the same excuse that a lot of rapists and other freaks use for molesting women, and it's not cool. A little bit of self control goes a long ways in this world, people need to take responsibility for their own actions...

joshualovesmtb (Jun 14, 2011 at 8:32)

sorry laruen, for being rude

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jun 14, 2011 at 12:41)

I don't mind the "she's hot" comments so much, and I'm sure Lauren doesn't either, but most of the girls/women that I post photos of actually are on Pinkbike as well, and degrading comments are not only unappreciated but they don't make guys look good either. "Wow it's so nice to see a good looking woman that rides a bike really well" is a great comment. I know there are people here with extreme opinions that think that the fact that a person is male or female or good looking or not is completely irrelevant and shouldn't be mentioned, we should only talk about them as far as their riding, but I don't agree with going that far. Lets just keep it polite...

joshua I don't think you went too far, but thanks for apologizing!

IH, I second you.. I hope all downhiller men & women are handsome & pretty ,, it makes me want to go ride more! and, it may also encourage photographer out there.. so, whats wrong with good looking? . . I even hope jessica alba on a bike.. TQ

dirty-fecker (Jun 10, 2011 at 0:30)

Everybody's going to negative prop me , but who care .... Don't like this. Rider is too stiff and cramped looking and it's generally just too posed. It's just not natural looking.

andrewgrant (Jun 10, 2011 at 10:50)

Ummm...he's high-fiving a 'spectator'!! It's obviously posed and probably not meant to look natural...except maybe to those who regularly high-five people in the middle of your run...

suicidedownhiller (Jun 10, 2011 at 11:42) (Below Threshold) show comment

But a rider of that caliber should look a little more natural with just one hand off the bike...if it was a race run it'd be cool, but there's wayyyy better highfive pictures on PB

andrewgrant (Jun 13, 2011 at 15:25)

i dunno, this one's pretty awesome...

KonaStiinky (Jun 20, 2011 at 8:59)

If only you knew where this jump came out of. At The US Open at Diablo its coming right out of a wet rock garden, over some shady rocks and its not a smooth ramp hit. Not to mention the course makes a hard right coming out of there with no berms, just loose gravel and rocks. Look up Gee's video of him doing a course run, its here and look at 1:35 seconds. Watch the exit there...I still give him lots of props since a picture always can make it look easy

RichardCunningham Mod (May 31, 2011 at 20:18)

Ian, you rule. One of those shots that makes me wish I was there. Did you set that up or was she trying that with all the riders?

IanHylands Mod Plus (May 31, 2011 at 20:58)

I was shooting this little bump that the guys (and girls) were kind of scrubbing over, and Lauren was hanging out with me, we were just chatting about stuff and she thought of this and set it up with Cody. It wasn't really the proper line, and he pretty much had to jump to flat to get it, but we did it twice.

aflo661 (Jun 10, 2011 at 2:45) (Below Threshold) show comment

You two were just chatting it up and then she mentioned a pose that she would like to try with your big ol zoom lens. lol

No it is a boxxer with the stantion rotated and the decals removed. X fusion does not yet have a DH fork. they have a 180mm but are creating a new platform for DH but it is in its early stages.

When you make stupid comments about something you very obviously know nothing about it doesn't make you look very smart, in fact it kind of makes you look like an idiot. Think before you post next time.

Not photo shopped look at her fingers sliping threw his hand. As for the wheel. i see what your talking about but that looks like dry pack in the grip of his spinning tire. again not photo shopped. Sweet pict.
