jizsplatt (Aug 5, 2011 at 4:38)

thecommyrider12 (Aug 5, 2011 at 4:39)

patrickrupert (Aug 5, 2011 at 4:46)

love the lighting of this picture, gives a "fresh" feeling.

Divorix (Aug 5, 2011 at 13:46)

it is a frontflie

nathanlawrence (Aug 5, 2011 at 17:28)

And ian this obviously is a front tuck.... not a flare as you explained

paulclarke (Aug 5, 2011 at 18:19)

He was talking about the effect in the picture. Not the trick.

paulclarke (Aug 5, 2011 at 18:21)

And its very clearly a backflip from the position of the rider in the air. And possibly the description.

Andrew-Taylor (Aug 5, 2011 at 19:04)

JohnFinnigan1 (Aug 5, 2011 at 17:23)

who's this J-Eaton d-bag who keeps neg propping all of the perfectly fine comments? And why is everyone getting hated on for complimenting the picture? It's a great picture

nathanlawrence (Aug 5, 2011 at 17:26)

why do people take propping seriously.... and did you actually look at everyones props just to say that....?

JohnFinnigan1 (Aug 10, 2011 at 9:34)

yes

The sunlight gives this a really cool look and feel, it looks like it is getting appreciated as it deserves!

cyberhawk Plus (Aug 5, 2011 at 2:15)

serious ? i would not go there during a contest.. when riding there i did see one guy ripping up the slopestyle park.. did one huge jump i thought was not possible,. awesome to see what some peeps really can do.. tup

marktoeters (Aug 5, 2011 at 4:57)

Yea I agree, but I was competing at the Scott 4x challenge. Smile

But I crashed in the qualification because I was riding with a single speed DJ with tyres not suitable for 4x

cyberhawk Plus (Aug 5, 2011 at 5:19)

Love the lighting.... oh and the no hander flip of course.

That's a FOX ad/poster right there. whack the logo down the bottom left corner and whahhhhhlah!

Andrew-Taylor (Aug 5, 2011 at 0:01)

Too bad it says ROCKSHOX on the ramp..

sentinel13 (Aug 5, 2011 at 7:38)

And I don't even see a logo on the bottom left corner. I've heard that the water spins the opposite direction when you flush the toilet south of the equator, didn't realize it flipped images on computer monitors too.

JHewitt (Aug 5, 2011 at 10:32)

He means you could take this photo and put a fox logo in the bottom left corner to make it a fox ad...
Sweet attempt being a smartass Razz

Dirtpilou (Aug 5, 2011 at 12:22)

that would be a nice fail from Fox to make it a poster with the ramp..

paulclarke (Aug 5, 2011 at 18:37)

With the exception of A.T. Since we know he has a life, i would bet that many people would pay money to see a PB comment live show with these people. A P.O.D. would get shown on a big screen and all the 12 year olds would start insulting each others comments, lack of knowledge, opinions or just plain old thoughts about bikes. Props would be on a scoreboard behind them. The kid with the most props at the end would be so happy and become a local hero. Newspapers would be there. CNN... Nancy Grace... Im bored of this idea now cause i dont actually think anyone would show. Nevermind.
