If you like the pictures so much you can always ask the photographer for the original..

Thanks-

This is awesome! Cheers to whoever found this out. If you don't mind me asking, how on earth did you discover that this worked? tup Salute

Sorry for the thread revival but I thought this might be of use to others.

I got tired of copying and pasting all this stuff in the URL to download pictures, so I made a simple bookmarklet to do it for me. All I do now is navigate to the picture I want to download and click the bookmarklet from my bookmarks bar.

To make the bookmarklet yourself, just make a bookmark and set the following as the URL:

javascriptFrown function () { var photoNum=window.location.pathname.split('/')[2];var url='https://ep1.pinkbike.org/p0pb'+photoNum +'/' +photoNum +'.jpg';window.open(url, '_blank'); } ())

How many times have you been looking at the POD and thought "damn, that would make a sick wallpaper", but even the highest resolution version available still looks stretched and pixelated on your 1080p widescreen monitor? Well, I am going to share a little trick for downloading high resolution photos off Pinkbike. Perfect for desktop wallpapers!

Whenever a photographer uploads a picture to Pinkbike, it is scaled down and then displayed on the site, but the original is still stored on the Pinkbike servers. To download the photo, all we have to do is make a URL that will take us to the high resolution photo.

Steps are as follows:

1. Choose a photo to download. (Must be an image with the # 1000000 or greater)
2. Type "lp1.pinkbike.org/p0pb" into your browsers URL bar followed by the photo # you wish to download, then "/", then the # again, and finally ".jpg"
3. Press enter and the photo should either load, or a message should pop up allowing you to download it.

To give you an example, your URL should look something like this: "lp1.pinkbike.org/p0pb(image #)/(image #).jpg"

A few things to keep in mind:
- This only works on images after 1000000. (Before this the original version was stored elsewhere)
- Not all photos have a high resolution versions available. Some photographers don't upload super high resolution version for various reasons.

If you have a Mac, I have automated this process, as well as added a few extra features with a dashboard widget I developed for Mac 10.4 or later.

Salute

Been wanting to have this for years. And it was available here all the time =). Took me until 2023 to find it though. Thanks a lot.
