i personally am not particularly fond of the composition. However you definitely could re-shoot the photo and have it be a pod. i don't know what you're shooting off of but you're level with the rider. that is sometimes a really cool effect. or maybe your first back flip will be a pod?

thank for the recommendation.... ill maybe reeshoot the pics someday next week, its just this place is a little far from home, i think the effect looks good, and yes i could say the rider (me) could be a little moe focused, but i mean for this pic i think the way it looks its pretty sick and could be a POD. thanks man!

If this makes POD i would be very surprised.The image is to flat. i suggest getting back out there and retake the shot with better lighting conditions.Also try and include the take off and landing and a different angle possible.just needs more boosh for the buck to make this photo sing.Keep at it.

Sorry bro, wont get POD. Poor lighting, too centered, not focused enough, not enough style to offset poor background. Constructive criticism, keep it up.

thanks for the critic man, but for me and the rest its an AWESOME pic, and i think it could maybe get POD, just maybe hahaha.

use the rule of thirds as well. and maybe find a better location cause POD's no a days are 50% background "coolness"

not a pod sorry

This would have been POD seven years ago... not because of the riding, but because of the bike.

V10carbon, just because your jelly bro doesnt mean you have to give bad prop.

dvbwn (Oct 19, 2012 at 18:37)

I didn't give a bad prop actually, just a comment that shared my opinion. Definitely not "jelly" (I assume you mean jealous). I'm very happy with my bike, but yours is awesome too!

Ian Hylands has a place for you to submit potential PODs. Find his profile and it is written below his name. Nice whip btw.

Aljaor (Oct 15, 2012 at 13:00)

thank you so much!!!... btw this is one my first whips ! hahaha i hope i do get POD!

I did a whip like that a few years back over a double but couldn't bring it back. It sounded like a gunshot when I landed cause the tire was blown off the bead and the tube stayed inflated. Wheel was ok but the tire was destroyed. Lol good times. Keep gettin sideways!
