hardtail29er (Dec 10, 2012 at 6:39)

If Ansel Adams took pictures of biking, this is what it would look like.

ambatt (Dec 10, 2012 at 1:10)

Agreed!

holmesslice (Dec 10, 2012 at 7:29)

I would love it if they had shot this on a medium format TLR camera or a large format camera with bellows that would make it sick.

holmesslice (Dec 10, 2012 at 7:33)

And wet plate collodion would have been cooler still.

SebAshwell (Dec 10, 2012 at 7:48)

It reminds me of when a group of guys turned the back of a van into a camera and used that process wish I could find the video.

SoCal-AM (Dec 10, 2012 at 10:54)

That vid of the camera in the van was one of the 'Movies for your Monday' a couple weeks ago. Smile

StuartMTB (Dec 10, 2012 at 11:40)

That video was called American Dream. vimeo.com/53917349

It's no whistler blackcomb; it's the real WB... but where are they going?

Can i congratulate the pinkbike community for this one time not making reference to "Mordor" at the sight of a craggy scene

SoCal-AM (Dec 10, 2012 at 10:55)

So much for the congratulations - you just mention it...

MY LOVE FOR MOUNTAIN BIKE IS EVERY DAY BIGGER BUT PINK BIKE IS SO BORING! ARTICLES BORING, PICTURES BORING.... IN THE PAST PINK BIKE WAS SO MUCH FUN AND NOW BORING. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH PINK BIKE???

TAridingMTB (Dec 10, 2012 at 2:29)

What's wrong with it? Your on it. Pinkbike is brilliant.

pigman65 (Dec 10, 2012 at 8:14)

randybadger (Dec 10, 2012 at 10:20)

It nice of you to point out how disinterested you are with pinkbike whilst making the effort to login and take an interest in photo of the day and feel strongly enough to post a comment.
