I love how we seem to enjoy someones hardship and pain so we view the picture and make it POM xD

This is very true, there is a reason enduro is named as such... start of the weekend is great, gonna ace it. but at the end of weekend always feel like have been body slammed by the hulk; even muscles you didn't know existed hurt. and still the hecklers jeer... and time for a can of mtfu

I'm pretty sure he will be very excited to see himself as a POM, will laugh at it, learn and next time we'll provably see him in a POY throwing a Rad move. I tell you that "He who's not willing to lose a battle, will never win a war..." Awesome shot by the way...

I think (for me anyway) it's less about enjoying someone's hardship and more about appreciating a perfectly timed photo capturing an inevitable part of the sport.

that and the fact the dude somehow hit a land mine on a Dh track. That's pretty unfortunate

@thestigmk1 - Possibly the best comment ever made on Pinkbike. Actually made me laugh out loud in my chair. Next time I crash big and someone asks me what happened, I'm gonna tell them I hit a land mine.

arvtron (Dec 5, 2013 at 11:47)

@JacobBat - It's because we've all been there but never seen it so well.

rolley44 (Dec 5, 2013 at 13:30)

Totally agree with pahikua. Best comment I've read! Well done @thestigmk1. Well done indeed.

mackienz (Dec 5, 2013 at 23:42)

After looking at it again after that comment...awesome Thanks stig

Reignonme (Dec 6, 2013 at 13:10)

Yup, Land mine comment made the day. Good work guys! Great sense of humor--and a perfectly timed pic!

All five of those are absolutely stunning images! Thanks to the photographers for their efforts and sharing their work with us.

that first crash photo really fits with the 259 on there, number like bubba, crash like bubba.

Bubba qualified for a world cup.

Motoracer31 FL (Dec 4, 2013 at 18:08)

i dont understand what you are trying to say but thanks.

ninti (Dec 4, 2013 at 22:18)

'Bubba' can ride. I'm not surprised you don't understand sayitlikejohn's point.

Motoracer31 FL (Dec 5, 2013 at 8:32)

well I wasn't sure if he was referring to this "bubba" or the actual one. Obviously he can ride. I wasn't disputing that.

thomaspearson (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:18)

i wonder if CG pulled through on that epic roost of roosts

larryssman7 (Dec 4, 2013 at 20:05)

Wasn't POM a running count of photos posted in November only? The CMac shot was posted on Apr 9, 2012.
It was Photo of the Day on Nov 21, 2013.
?

brule (Dec 5, 2013 at 9:08)

This is a top count of the most viewed photos this month. VOM is top viewed in the month of November.

bkm303 (Dec 5, 2013 at 7:16)

Still not a fan of #4... unless that place actually has bright teal-colored rocks. Curious what the photo looks like without the wacky color manipulation.

#5 is stunning though! Must have missed that one before.

crankmaster (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:06)

Thumbs up for the first one.

lecheftain (Dec 5, 2013 at 0:42)

Drew Carters at Val Di Sole, best shot i ever seen

elchap (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:19)

That land mine shot lol

rclugnut (Dec 4, 2013 at 19:18)

Those tires on Garcia's bike danngg those look meaty... What are they?

Caliber38heavy (Dec 4, 2013 at 22:44)

Panaracer CG signature tyres, cant remember the name

finnrambo (Dec 4, 2013 at 23:21)

CG DH?

freestyIAM (Dec 5, 2013 at 15:46)

Shouldn't he be running DVO sus? Was this taken before that?

finnrambo (Dec 5, 2013 at 18:23)

dvo as a small company doesn't have fast production, there's unlabeled fox on there because dvo didn't have a fork for him yet

soprobrofosho (Dec 5, 2013 at 1:06)

#2 is definitely because of Downhill Memes

mtber9491988 (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:19)

Sick pictures!

ckyttle1121 (Dec 4, 2013 at 17:53)

Brandon84 (Dec 4, 2013 at 17:55)

sanderwouters (Dec 4, 2013 at 23:23)

sweet-bike (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:10)

Twallywilly (Dec 4, 2013 at 18:45)

Holy fuck, Cedric!!!

cirrus (Dec 6, 2013 at 17:18)

OUCH!

b0ngski (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:09)

I can see fear in his eyes on the first one.. O.o

IsaacBikes (Dec 5, 2013 at 13:04)

Her eyes?
I think that's Hannah Barnes…
Hard to tell… Full face helmets...

kdstones (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:28)

Now where were all these in the Specialized photo contest?! These are RAD!

Nygaard (Dec 4, 2013 at 16:46)

CG on a 40?.. Where's the Emerald?

finnrambo (Dec 4, 2013 at 23:22)

no decals on it so probably just didn't have his hands on one yet

pinnityafairy (Dec 4, 2013 at 17:26)

And the hecklers jeer!

epsteinisalive (Dec 4, 2013 at 17:46)

Crashes or CG seem to be the fan favorites all the time.

K8SKEEZ (Dec 4, 2013 at 19:51)

He's posted this in 3 other articles. Well at least he's not ranting about some TV show.

finnrambo (Dec 4, 2013 at 23:19)
