KURTSUCKS (Jul 7, 2011 at 2:37)

Troyan is a German maker of sports gloves. Not love gloves.... =) Although the connection would be funny.

KURTSUCKS (Jul 7, 2011 at 20:28)

Anyways, heres a better joke:

"How did Pinnochio discover he was made of wood?
His right hand caught on fire."

@JesseBMXs

No one likes your comments because you have the sense of humor of a paintbrush

BenLovesIdaho (Jul 7, 2011 at 14:08)

A paintbrush you say? That could be interesting.

JesseBMXs (Jul 7, 2011 at 15:34) (Below Threshold) show comment

yup, a really smart paintbrush

Dirt-Street-Park (Jul 7, 2011 at 21:24)

The hole you're digging is getting pretty big...

StefanGlander (Jul 7, 2011 at 21:30)

thats just what happens on this website^^. People just dont quit. its pretty entertaining sometimes

Paintbrushes are interesting...they created all sorts of cool shit

bh3x Plus (Jul 7, 2011 at 3:28)

This is a great POD... I love the lighting and perspective of this shot but the strength of this photo is the perfect timing with the rider and catching him on the maximum extension of the indian air. Great job Jim! Cheers!

Jim-laden (Jul 7, 2011 at 3:47)

Molto grazie!

Airik (Jul 7, 2011 at 5:30)

Sick Indian Air, but i didnt like the photoshop DoF.

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jul 7, 2011 at 9:40)

Pretty sure it's not photoshop, it was shot at f/4, that's pretty normal DOF...

perhaps (Jul 7, 2011 at 15:31)

nah I think you're right, there's some photoshop goin on there. look at the largest photo at the edge of the dirt and trees.

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jul 7, 2011 at 16:58)

and around his foot in the trees as well. Not sure exactly what it is, the dirt/tree edge just looks like a sharpening halo...

Jim-laden (Jul 7, 2011 at 22:39)

Yes i had to do some stuff, if it hadnt been a raw file i would have deleted it. Something went wrong (someones light was at least 2 times stronger than mine) and i had to adjust lighting sharpness amd wb. And that only on tobi and and landing, not the backround... This picture is not the best result I had, it was the fastest... The lack of RAM memory drives me crazy! Sorry if i disapoint you...

IanHylands Mod Plus (Jul 7, 2011 at 22:40)

No not at all, I've done way worse to save photos before.

redrook (Jul 8, 2011 at 4:43)

Regardless it's a sweet shot. The ends justify the means and I wouldn't have noticed anything had it not been pointed out, but I think it's negligible. And I'll agree completely with Ian's last comment!

perhaps (Jul 8, 2011 at 20:59)

Agreed, it is nice regardless.
