When you make a kitten smoothie make sure to add in some orange juice and baby seal, it really helps smooth out the flavour.

It would be funny if ian wrote the reason why this is pod.

"This is pod because im trying to save kittens"

If you're on a downhill track and you see a rider coming towards you, you should probably get the f*ck out of the way anyway.

KURTSUCKS (Mar 2, 2012 at 0:29)

Has anyone here tried doritos with a bottle of tapatio hot sauce?
Mexicans introduced me to that concept.
changed my life.
forever...

Angryham (Mar 2, 2012 at 1:09)

thenegpropper- how did you do that?!?!?

KURTSUCKS (Mar 2, 2012 at 1:29)

The internet is trying to make me feel guilty about blending cats! http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/7781555/

Angryham (Mar 2, 2012 at 5:27)

HAHA! thats f*cking brilliant!

dirtworks911 (Mar 2, 2012 at 9:21)

Eyon, That cat would make a premium blend.

Sweet shot, shame about the sky. Would be cool if you could have blended a sky from another photo into the sky in this.

gee-milner Plus (Feb 22, 2012 at 15:18)

i'm shocking at shopping

hur hur hur

but no serious I am, we'll be doing some filming on this place throughout different times of the year so I'll have another bash.

skawt-1 (Feb 22, 2012 at 15:23)

Perhaps if you can shoot on a tripod shoot this image again then a second one exposed for the sky and blend them, that's easy enough Razz

Just erasing a layer!

The depth of view, angle of view and scaling of this shot work really well. It's the little things like the leading lines coming in, pointing right at the rider and the trees breaking up the sky that make it really good too.

callumm (Feb 24, 2012 at 0:58)

I kinda like the sky, with the riders gear being so loud he really pops out.

GeorgeHB (Mar 1, 2012 at 5:01)

It's the embodiment of british riding, grey wet and wild! Love it
