Luke Strobel at Stevens Pass in Seattle, Washington, United States - photo by parisgore

Luke monster trucks through the rock garden hitting speeds close to mach-turkey. Taking the win on home turf got the entire crowd heckling in full force.

POD Photo of the Day on Nov 24, 2012

Selected by Ian Hylands - Now that it's wet and raining in a lot of the Northern hemisphere, looking back at hot sunny dusty photos is a good contrast. Love the action, and the spectator action in this one!

I don't want to come across as a needy little keyboard warrior but it would appear that NOBODY important on PinkBike really gave any notice to my question on POD yesterday which would appear to have been a popular post having so many props? So maybe if I again say 'PLEASE MAKE A PINKBIKE APP' somebody important may take notice? Surely this is a sign of PinkBike being given a good idea!?

so with an app - you will get content without ad's as generally a mobile device is too small to run ad's unless they are full screen popup's (and you know how annoying that is). Pinkbikes ad's would be quite a large source of their revenue due to the massive number of page hits this site receives. (I would love to see PB's Google Analytics account).

That would be my reasoning as to why we havent seen an app.

Ads, you say it like anyone starts a browser without AdBlock these days.

What's the big deal? There's a perfectly good multi-platform mobile site m.pinkbike.com

PINKBIKE APP!!! sombody should send messages to some of the administraitors...

JoseBravo (Nov 24, 2012 at 10:16)

I agree with the pinkbike app, but i think is better to send a private message to one of the PB´s big fish rather than transforming the POD in a forum.

mrmars Plus (Nov 24, 2012 at 10:42)

Pink bike has a mobile form of the website its cheaper than making an app and much more accessable across all mobile devices.

jdm-dsm (Nov 24, 2012 at 15:55)

What would the app do that the mobile website doesn't?

jonesry (Nov 24, 2012 at 16:51)

if you're referring to putting an icon on your home screen, you can already do that...

mac1999 (Nov 24, 2012 at 19:55)

Well about 200 upvotes shoud just about get someones attenion

parisgore Plus (Nov 24, 2012 at 20:01)

I am curious to know what a pinkbike app has to do with a POD?

badbadleroybrown (Nov 24, 2012 at 20:59)

There is a Pinkbike app... it's called your mobile browser.

n-rodgers (Nov 24, 2012 at 23:17)

If your on an iPhone click on the little box with an arrow coming out of it, it lets you add an icon to your iPhones home screen.

mac1999 (Nov 25, 2012 at 16:04)

Yea i know i have that now but i would still like a legit app

thedishbox (Nov 28, 2012 at 22:40)

I would pay $5.00

Ajbate (Dec 5, 2012 at 21:51)

Yea but they already formatted the website on mobile, so having an app would be kind of unnecessary but awesome nontheless

GreenDemon (Nov 24, 2012 at 7:23)

America!!! If you're screaming it and your not shirtless holding your nations flag, you're doing something wrong. This applies to anyone else wanting to show support for their homeland. If you do this, you're a badass deserving a Michael Bay background explosion no matter what country you're from.

alexvon123 (Nov 25, 2012 at 21:44)
