POD Photo of the Day on Sep 13, 2011

Selected by Sterling Lorence - Perfect example of not shooting the obvious when out searching for nugs. Epic colours and lines working in this image and i really like the composition. Lots of texture and shape help build the feel of being at this park and a nice window of blue to place the rider. I wish more parks had nice graffiti like this. Sick table that is buzzin the shoulder is the cherry on top! Nice POD!!

( 16 PODs )

The guys actually jumping off the ramp in the foreground, he's just really small.

+1 if you looked at the thumbnail and saw a giant green and blue mountain with a guy riding it.

and no, its not a turndown. its an invert.

aflo661 (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:51)

From the thumbnail i thought he was riding a huge wave!

TMC-Tomas (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:12)

don't hate on jeffbentum (or me for saying this) although it's not a turndown, it seems like an UNturndown, and from what i've heard (again not 100%sure) and inverted table seems quite the same as an UNturndown

QCIrider77 (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:22)

its funny, there's almost always the "unturndown, inverted, buzzed,scrubbed, uber-flat, upside-down-sideways-backward" discussion on every table photo

Stewartlowe (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:45)

I think you will find he has been a member since the 11/9

If you think the table, unturndown, etc dillemma is bad look at skiing and boarding's shit. "NO, NO, NO THAT'S A BIO BECAUSE THE QUANTUM SPIN OF THE LEGS DIVIDED BY PI, WOULD MAKE THIS A BIO. IDIOT".

ebo421 (Sep 13, 2011 at 14:50)

theres a date argument and a trick argument.

09/09/2011

its and invert, an unturndown he would be parallel to the vert of the quarter, and a table would be a flattened bike as opposed to an inverted one.

TMC-Tomas (Sep 13, 2011 at 16:34)

thanks for that, that explained it

jeffrupert (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:20)

sick shot the colors are just awesome and that invert is clicked

bh3x7 (Sep 13, 2011 at 3:26)

wow!!!... this is awesome... seems that this picture has everything, composition, colors, a great rider shredding like hell, etc. ... one of that picture that makes you want to go out with your bike in the moment that you see it. Great work man!!!!

pholange (Sep 13, 2011 at 7:31)

the dark green arc in the lime green foreground portion of the image is a great lead line. subtle and directorial, without smashing our faces into it, it pushes our vision through the photo, to the rider.

doorknob100 (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:45)

This is one of the first pictures i've seen in a while where my eye is not drawn to a particular thing, but almost wants to cover the whole picture in one glance... i like this

jbeglaw (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:39)

@wakebikesnow...its nice your PB name is 3 things you suck at....here is your alter-egos name who is as equally shitty at things his name reflects LIFESEXBEINGFUNNY

dvbwn (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:18)

Great perspective on the rider without focusing too much. Great POD

cardonethebear (Sep 13, 2011 at 4:22)

I thought it was like a mountainside or something when i first saw it... haha this picture is well deserved POD

Session603 (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:11)

Amazing shot, and I must say I love the term "searching for nugs" in the description, that's what I have been doing all morning.

badbadleroybrown (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:42)

Wow... awesome shot. Took me a minute to process what was going on here, killer composition!

scrippsranchDJ (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:04)

I thought somebody was jumping along a grass covered hill from the thumbnail, looks cooler like this though.

aurao (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:34)

glamisboy724 (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:52)
