Its just a snap from a random sequens with the GoPro. not POD worthy..

billythemouse21 (Dec 31, 2012 at 6:01)

ever seen a POD like this?.. the answer is no. Its one of a kind and a cool angle too, POD worthy. if your looking for pro photography you may not be pleased but If your a rider and have passion beyond the picture quality this will get you amp'd

no that's a vertical liftoff snap from the future when people mastered bike spaceflight technology

Maarrk (Dec 31, 2012 at 11:22)

Yeah definetly unique, and the more I look at it, the neater it gets. Took me a few mins to notice where the actual lip and what trick he has was doing.

I have to agree this is not POD worthy. Maybe if it had his face in it.

Lone-Wolf-Productions (Dec 31, 2012 at 11:53)

I talked to these guys when they were trying to get this shot. It was no fluke, they tried over and over again to get the timing right. Isn't that what makes a great shot usually?...perfect timing?

mfbeast12 (Dec 31, 2012 at 13:08)

Ok: whatever comment has the highest score of anything on pinkbike, there is, at least 90% of the time, the lowest scoring comment directly underneath it

Bullitproof (Dec 31, 2012 at 13:10)

its a great photo and all, but you dont think that they would use a single shot, instead of a rapid fire? makes no sense, an its taken some skill out of great timing to go along with a shot.

chayes1 (Dec 31, 2012 at 14:53)

@jonathangross dont be a dick

woodframeisbad (Dec 31, 2012 at 17:04)

does it really matter if its a snap? because this sure is one hell of a snap and quite POD worthy to me

ItsRyanforsythe (Dec 31, 2012 at 18:24)

kamloops n thier cork flips

sam93mx (Dec 31, 2012 at 20:44)

Dude.. Happy New Year! I ride bikes.. and love life. This is a sick shot! Drunk. Coooooool!

Bullitproof (Dec 31, 2012 at 22:22)

well, you cant deny the fact that when you have rapid fire, or image capture from a video it does take the timing aspect out of the equation... so dont neg me for that...

ItsRyanforsythe (Jan 1, 2013 at 0:36)

ok just stop your flip in mid air so i can climb up there and push the button to make the camera shoot ok?alright good! ^

schnecor000 (Jan 3, 2013 at 11:49)

rednova (Dec 31, 2012 at 14:29)

It's a cool angle, but my only problem is my eyes keep getting drawn to the brake!

piiinkBiiike (Dec 31, 2012 at 0:29)

I really do like this shot! Its a great POD for the last day of the year!

[Reply]

gazj93 (Jan 1, 2013 at 4:25)

Personally, I think this is a sick shot... People are right when they say there hasn't been a POD like this before. Also, WHO CARES if it's an accidental pic? It captured a moment right?

jacK428 (Dec 31, 2012 at 2:08)

It took me a while to figure out what was going on but when I did I realized it was AWESOME!

Good marketing for race face!!!!

diablo911 (Jan 1, 2013 at 4:52)

Such a unique picture. Totally worthy of POD. It's not always about how good the quality is. This picture is just cool!

Amazing capture!
Where was it mounted?

ibike99 (Dec 3, 2012 at 22:18)

I am guessing the head tube. I love this shot.

riffstills (Dec 4, 2012 at 8:04)

you are correct ! gopro is mounted on the head tube

Worm-Burner (Dec 31, 2012 at 0:22)

...mounted on a wasp...

adamlaycock (Dec 31, 2012 at 1:35)

Urban Dictionary doesn't even know. I think he is crazy.

xplosivekiwi (Dec 31, 2012 at 1:36)

Just looked it up and it means...... Absolutely nothing :/

bryanmckinlay (Dec 31, 2012 at 1:59)

Perhaps he meant applicable, in which still a stupid use of the word applicable...or acclable. What?

bigburd (Dec 31, 2012 at 2:50)

its quite obvious he miss-typed the word ' acceptable ' no ?

hgardner (Dec 31, 2012 at 3:58)

God, ruining our fun with your logic and reasoning there bigburd. Razz

bigburd (Dec 31, 2012 at 4:04)

haha sorry ! It's hard to tell if you guys were being sarcastic or just spastic ! haha

ypocat (Dec 31, 2012 at 6:22)

Maybe he meant the pseudo-word "accoladable" which would stem from the word "accolade".

bryanmckinlay (Dec 31, 2012 at 7:35)

Bigburd has sick logic but his comment was not acclable for this thread.

bigburd (Dec 31, 2012 at 9:53)

I acclpt that my comment was un-acclable and will now do my best to gain your accptltance
