Selected by Ian Hylands - Schley and Simmons, riding where I want to be riding right now. Perfect light, awesome trail and I bet it goes on for miles... Great lines and comp, and awesome evening light...
on that note a kickass pod will be in order for tomorrow as it is my birthday!
its nice to see two legends riding together, although i kinda feel like im lookin at a nice xc ad. still a great shot.
it may not be pod worth guys but the fact is its a cool picture and every POD can't be a ''60ft gap plus holy shit'' picture
fair play Id like to ride that track.
i agree with most of your statement... but i dont think it represents what mountain biking is about, this is only one style of MTB and lots of mtbers ride for adrenililne and a thrill rather then scenery. bring on the neg props but this is just my opinion.
all you groms have to stop complaining about what should be pod. There's much better things to do than live on pinkbike and wait everynight for what the next pod will be. From a photography standpoint, this shot is handled pretty well, and it contains two of the most influential riders to ever live.
Sure, it may not as be as 'WOW' as other PODS but I do think it represents a type of mtb very well. You see people free riding and doing insane tricks but chasing your mate down a hill as fast as you can is one of the most fun things you can do on a bike
Ok I agree these are two of the most inspirational riders ever- but they weren't exactly cross country riders were they?- I reckon they'd both be kinda gutted to be on a POD getting so many negative comments when they've been going so big for so long.
Probably the fact they're using XC lids, clip pedals and have both wheels on the ground! If you introduce a facility to comment on these pictures then you cannot expect them all to be in agreement.
I'd say they think this picture is crap because they're all to super cool and shit hot at DH, FR and BMX to know the advantages of a 6" bike in the alps. Possibly because they've never been there too.
First off, happy birthday Richie! Second, taking a picture of the two is cool, but riding with the two of them is really cool! To the rest of you who don't like it, get over it. There will be a new shot in less than a day.
haters gonna hate ... personally i think this POD is sick ! two friends just absolutely shredding together .. this pick shows what riding with buddies is all about
Really hard to work with images like that distracting me! Least I got to ride my XC rig into work
Stick a Fox or SoCro logo in the grass bottom right, BOOM magazine ad right there!
You don't have to wear a full face to rip down the trail. The point is they're on their bikes having one hell of a time while we are commenting on their picture.
no.. ciekawe czemu takie zdjęcia dostają poda. Nic specjalnego w nim nie ma. Ładne zdjęcie jak ktoś sobie jedzie, ale nic wiecej. Wielu mógłoby mieć podobne
Luckily you and everyone else who said this is "not POD worthy" don't have any say in the matter. It's a sweet shot and it's definitely POD worthy, that's why it's POD. Deal with it, and if you don't like it, instead of complaining maybe come back tomorrow and see if you like that picture....
