Draggon (Feb 28, 2012 at 10:42)

@stolenmirrariderdan^^

if you were being sarcastic, your 1st comment was hilarious, but your second comment even better. gave you props.

stolenmirrariderdan (Mar 4, 2012 at 11:42)

No sarcasm, I was just being an asshole. I like pissing off canadians.

bennett346, care to expand in a little more detail as to why the exposure is not right? I know a little about photography so I might understand;-) How would you have adjusted the exposure?

Never mind the trolls, they ought to be severely punished!
Awesome photo!!! Truly spectacular Smile

I prefer an aged meconium spread on my toast

IVI-A-Z-ii-N-K-ii-D (Feb 28, 2012 at 7:40)

Yeah, Well I Prefer Nutella!!!!!!!!!!!

Draggon (Feb 28, 2012 at 8:38)

I can't believe it's not butter!

Session603 (Feb 28, 2012 at 9:52)

meconium just doesn't taste right unless it's been aged for at least a few years.

Draggon (Feb 28, 2012 at 10:56)

Session, the Duke of Slope. I will forever heed your wealth of knowledge.

GreasyCaveman (Feb 28, 2012 at 13:57)

If you can manage to find meconium that has cultured mrsa it need not be aged more than a month

When I look at this pic I think back of the video we did up there on a misty day a few years ago. Take a look at Max riding these steps close to that start of this video for a better idea how steep and exposed they are...

The exposure isnt right. The lighting is average. Who cares how good the riding is, the photo isn't good enough and this is a photography site not a mountain bike site.

gavlaa (Feb 28, 2012 at 4:28)

I thought it was PINKBIKE not PINKPHOTO. I thought POD was a shot that made you want to ride your bike? This one works for me.

bikerjez (Feb 28, 2012 at 4:29)

"this is a photography site not a mountain bike site" Your just being sarcastic, right?

phatsmoker (Feb 28, 2012 at 5:22)

it looks like it's turning into pinkdumbass sometimes; very nice, extremely inspiring photo

Session603 (Feb 28, 2012 at 9:53)

You're a pretty decent troll.

JHewitt (Feb 28, 2012 at 10:13)

Can't believe anybody fell for something this obvious... Facepalm

gavlaa (Feb 29, 2012 at 2:12)

Rather than mocking people for falling for a troll- mock the sad bastard who had nothing better to do than to troll in the first place. Talk about a sad existance. People need to get out more.

Session603 (Feb 29, 2012 at 12:07)

Either way, I'm totally convinced this is a subject worth debating.
