Look at this pics (www.pinkbike.com/photo/9128306) and everything will be clear.. Nice photo.

www.pinkbike.com/photo/9117681 same jump I believe...

WDCCUTS Plus (Jan 29, 2013 at 4:19)

You can see the take off and landing in the shot above easy enough

minty1 Plus (Jan 29, 2013 at 15:30)

This jump is at the top of a trail called 'air miles' in Malaga Spain. Just back from here and its nuts,few yards after the landing is a shear drop of several hundred feet,get it wrong you die. As gnarly as it gets,picture doesn't do it justice. And no I didn't try it,although our guide did...

llamaman110 (Jan 29, 2013 at 16:11)

@agnik1^^^ so thats where cotton eye joe came from, and i think the picture explains where he went!

Draggon (Jan 29, 2013 at 16:16)

@Minty1, did your guide make it?

hoolydooly (Jan 29, 2013 at 16:54)

It doesn't matter where he's come from. The only thing that matters is where he's going from here.

hoolydooly (Jan 29, 2013 at 16:56)

Lol what am i, his f*cking psychologist?

nice composition. nice lighting. but there's a nasty sharpen filter on this thing.

brandonj1979 (Jan 29, 2013 at 22:10)

Nice photo, but it looks like some dodgy dodging is going on with the rider. You can see the background right by him has been lightened instead of just him. Zoom in closer and a smaller brush size would help this situation. Or, do it in camera with some nice off camera wireless flash. Bam, no post. Tone down the sharpening just a tad too. Great composition and exposure otherwise.

mtbronbo (Jan 29, 2013 at 9:27)

life is the feeling at the launch and seconds before the landing. same rush/fear each time. and this jump is full of life.

minty1 Plus (Jan 29, 2013 at 15:32)

The landing is the far left mound,its even bigger than it looks here in person.

Jacob1993 (Jan 29, 2013 at 7:35)

As hardcore as that would be, if you check his other photos he's not actually sending to flat.

BrodieBiker27 (Jan 29, 2013 at 11:47)

that would be hardcore if he did though...
