POD Photo of the Day on Feb 1, 2013

Selected by Ian Hylands - There's just something about this shot that really works for me. The composition is bang on, the moon looks incredible, and the lighting is really well balanced to match the exposure of the moon.

Another proof to the wife to let our 2 year old daughter old start training NOW.....

First comes a strider bike, then comes a little shredder, and then she'll be faster than you! Do it.

Angryham (Feb 1, 2013 at 10:52)

But the girl in this photo.... is 22

Circes (Feb 1, 2013 at 11:58)

Which is why he needs to start his daughter off early!

trozei (Feb 1, 2013 at 13:47)

The girl in this photo has also been out of riding since 19 (?) so yeah.

I've been following Rhiannon for a while and she has come back from one hell of a major DH accident (AC5 if I recall). I'm very glad and I do mean very glad to see her in the POD. This picture of her is brilliant. Yes the moon (in the 3rds) is very well within proportion but to me its more about her determination on the bike that catches my eye.

POD for sure and a definite candidate for POY.

Congrats on riding again, Rhiannon, after your injury! I know how bad you wanted it and now you have it. tup

I saw this and totally expected it to be POD, and here we are.

rhiannon (Feb 1, 2013 at 17:08)

Thank you so much!! Your support means a lot!! Yeah, getting POD is definitely the icing on the cake!

Looks somehow wrong to ride a DH bike without a fullface though. Great photo nonetheless!

StuartMTB (Feb 1, 2013 at 7:20)

With a gymnastics background you have base skills for flipping all over the place. Nice shot. I like the pink lid. Keep shredding.
