POD Photo of the Day on Jul 25, 2012

Selected by Ian Hylands - I really like the symmetry and pattern of the trees in this shot. I've often looked at similar patterns in tree farms, but never considered something like this. Great trick in a great location!

Because the photographer took the picture at an angle. I didn't think that was a hard concept to figure out.

i think its because hes lining the shot up with the trees instead of the ramp

i think its mostly so the photog isnt in the way of the rider dropping in...

rippin-norco (Jul 25, 2012 at 17:35)

potato, look at the comment above yours, and do what it instructs.

d-set (Jul 25, 2012 at 19:30)

Love the simplicity of the scenery. Mixed with some great style and not really knowing where the rider lands leaves room for the imagination, Great photo!

pinkbike needs to put links for like full size downloads. im sick of blurry background pics we need atleast 1920x1080 pics please 3

saturnine (Jul 25, 2012 at 14:05)

it's not up to pinkbike, it's up to the uploader to decide on the resolution

rlucky82 (Jul 25, 2012 at 21:04)

Agreed size limit for pic of day should be minimum 1600 x 1200.

DuthieRider (Jul 16, 2012 at 1:36)

The landing is in the ditch behind the lip.....focus

garrss (Jul 25, 2012 at 6:42)

actually he jumped from the grass and is going to land on the wood ramp, just an optical illusion

GarlandPhotography (Jul 25, 2012 at 6:47)

if thats the case he's not doing a great job at spotting his landing

garrss (Jul 25, 2012 at 7:10)

nope he's just in the middle of his 720

ScaryGerry (Jul 25, 2012 at 6:54)

would it be unethical to have this same jump setup surrounded by Tombstones? Wouldn't it make a great shot? This is cool too tho...

ScaryGerry (Jul 25, 2012 at 8:43)

I'm guessing it might be... Oh well, my therapist said I was doing so good too...

Wood kicker to ditch lander! Just like our tuesday night urban assault setup here in Orlando. We stach a kicker in the bushes behind the bowling alley until all the riders show up at 830. We drag it out to a drainage ditch and go crazy with backflips and what not

george0812 (Jul 25, 2012 at 9:19)

nice
